If it might make money, any media in the world will run it.

Typically, when a brand new member makes his first post a contribution in this manner, it means that he has an agenda of sorts.

I have been deployed on the USS Bataan. It is an east coast ship that deploys through the Mediteranean and into the Persian Gulf. It is a permanent member of one of the Marine Expeditionary Units at any given time. This means that it rotates between the 22nd, 24th, and 26th MEU every 8 months or so. This would also mean that a butt load of Marines and Sailors consisting of several units would have been directly involved.

This is conspiracy crap.

It is dumber than that, especially the refrigerated ships part. That would mean thousands of families don't have their son's and daughter's bodies to bury. You can't cover up that kind of stuff. We don't have that many MIA troops anymore.

I was the one who moved it, and I did so for two reasons:

1) The thread didn't fit the breaking news guidelines
2) The OP was:

Well, as a seaman I can assert that existence of secret CIA floating prisons is actually no secret for most American seamen. What I cannot say about other CIA secret floating facilities. Huge refrigerated barges that were charted by the US navy from some Latin-American countries. I tell ya, this information is really top secret! But I heard something about them. US navy uses these refrigerated barges to store several thousands (!) of corpses of American soldiers who died in Iraq! Can you imagine this!? How wild! Instead of being buried with all due honors these poor fellows just have to dance on the waves in some damned stinking refrigerator as though they were bulks of butchered cattle! That's insanity and disrespect of their family members' feelings! That owned to our government that dozens of thousands of American guys did not return home alive, but now many of they are frozen and cannot even be buried! That's an outrageous treatment and our government should be answerable!

That is a conspiracy theory.

If someone wants to start this thread again in the main forum in the proper format and with an OP that's actually related to the article, that wouldn't be a problem at all.
