The story itself is at least plausible, it's from a reputable source, it doesn't make any outlandish claims, and President Bush just declared the practice stopped in 2006. I'm not saying it's true, but is this really such a no-brainer that we can't even discuss it on the more "respectable" forums?
For the record, I didn't bump it. However, this is conspiracy crap and it had nothi9ng to do with a new member. Like others, this new member just signed on to post a single article. He probably did the same on other sites. "Floating secret prisons?" We would have to discount any military ships, because this would mean stripping away from the ARGs and this hasn't happened. Even with civilian contracted ships, this would entail military guards and such a thing would not be an easily kept secret. Secret prisons in Europe and now secret floating prisons? With the prison at GITMO being an in your face issue from day one we need secret prisons?

It is an outlandish claim.
