Big Deal? Just more technical lies. Media will jump to the smell of fish in water. We have studies on this issue that go back for 30-40 years. Nothing new will come out. This is just another CIA fake strip sex show. Tell them to go to hell were they belong. Peace.

I do not want to be over critical and unfair. There has been an ongoing discussion in US for 20-30 years about what they call "lowest common denominator" which is term grafted in from elementray algebra. This means in Soviet terms agitation (low IQ) as divided from propoganda (high IQ). Department of agi-prop -- was that the name of Felix house? Not bragging, I have tiny Phd and other degrees. May I say in healthful manner: RT programming is getting progressively more boring. Maybe high editors are watching TV in Washington D.C. to calculate American IQ. RT in my humble opinion, needs to re-organize editors and management and needs to re-organize journalists. Dumber by day RT gets. No insult. Just tiny mind of Phd American. Do you think all Americans are that stupid? American media does. I thought RT is an educational channel, higher in issue and content than rest of them. Does RT want to be just like all the rest of them? Cheap trash media? Peace. PS: We know 100X more about CIA than RT will ever know. Quit boring us.

Lithuania would pluck-a-duck for their CIA masters. With feeble Soverignity and no core moral values to their psudeo democratic regime -- there is no end to what these fake nations will do for money and influence. Disgusting news. Peace.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were secret prisons, and the Lithuanian government didn't even know it. Perhaps the US government told them they were something else. I just hope little Lithuanian kids don't get nightmares. :(

This is pretty much old news a couple of years ago it was revealed that they used the same secret prisons in Poland as the Soviets did as well as prisons in Kosovo and Africa and there was a quite high profile case in Canada were a Muslim passenger who was put on a terror watch list by accident was transported to Syria to be tortured. Don’t expect any of these phoney human rights groups like Soros created Human Rights Watch and his heavy funding of Amnesty International who distract the public with protests about Guantanamo Bay that leisure resort for terrorists captured in Afghanistan training to fight wars in Central Asia, Chechnya, China and India. The question is why are they locating these secret prisons in Eastern Europe towards Russia? Does this tie in with all the other stuff they have been preparing against Russia for the past 2 or 3 decades and as I predicted has dramatically increased since this mad man Brezinski and his puppet Obama came to power shifting from a divided Eurasian/Middle East agenda to a full blown Eurasian driven foreign policy to fragment and destabilise Russia and balkanise Central Asia.

I understand 98% of where you are coming from. Let me be polite. Sometimes people latch onto figures from the old past. For instance BREZINSKI was fool in 1970's Carter Presidential administration. Like pop and rock stars who fade out -- BREZINSKI is kind of laughing joke in Washington D.C. Old dogs (political fools) and no new tricks. This is what amazes me about intelligence anaylsis. I can tell you (no bragging) in part the last 30-40 years of intelligence and politics in Federal Washington D.C. This is just because I am American citizen and read a lot. Yet -- I can not tell you one affirmative thing that happened in last 30-40 years of Mockba. I am student of American Government and not foreign governments. So it kind of makes me laugh when someone refers to American idiot BREZINSKI. Tell me more about Engle's Father's profit as a capitalist in his small company. You guys give me good laugh. BREZINSKI is more politically dead then Napalm Vietnam -- burn children. Peace.

There is just one little problem with all this: the rule of law. It seems that the US media, and their owners keep forgetting that they are under the obligation to support the law of the land. They seem to think that this is "just politics", and keep on applying to the torture the same standards as they would towards the discussion of a supermarket brawl. The US needs to remain the nation of laws, or it will return to its colonial past. Without the adherence to the Constition and the international treaties that have the force of the law in this country, the country is sliding backwards --- dragging with it other helpless countries that put their faith and trust in US. We need to address the media personalities and the media owners in our country. They are not in the entertainment business, and therefore are accountable for their actions. Supporting torture, kidnapping, extrajudicial murder and humiliating treatment of detainess represent the most vile spitting on the laws of the country. The US public selected the new President, in a historic message to its elites: enough is enough. But these elites are not getting it. They are still "resetting" their sights to the "happy" days of Clinton, while the media "analists" look more like actors in costumes. RT is doing great job. Keep it up!!!
