Chills

The US denies shipping people to other countries to be tortured, all usual qualifiers in place. But check out the first line of the article:

The United States Secretary of State is refusing to say outright that the U.S. does not operate secret prisons in Europe for the purpose of questioning suspected terrorists.

If they didn't exist, how hard would it be to just come out and say they didn't exist? What exactly could be holding Rice back, other than the existence of these "black sites"?

How dumb do they think their own citizens are (to say nothing of the rest of us)?
