So what is Team GOP going to say about this? I suppose we're going to hear about luxury cruise ships and pampered service that American soldiers in Iraq only wish they had. Either that or somehow it's going to be the fault of somebody else, just as it always seems to be.
"There are very, very serious accusations that the United States is maintaining secret camps, notably on ships," the Austrian UN official told AFP, adding that the vessels were believed to be in the Indian Ocean region.
The use of prison ships would allow investigators to interrogate people secretly and in international waters out of the reach of US law, British security expert Francis Tusa said.
"This opens the door to very tough interrogations on key prisoners before it even has been revealed that they have been captured," said Tusa, an editor for the British magazine Jane's Intelligence Review.
