The French are just doing their job

Le Monde Al-Jazeera on the Seine spinning non-news into the usual anti-US, pro-terrorist rubbish. Barely a mention in the French preSS of France's secret underground prisons (the link is to the original 'Merde in France' post on this subject which quotes a Libération newspaper article no longer online -- Libération only keeps them online for a short period. For French language verbatim copy of article see here).

'It starts off by being stripped naked in front of 10 police officers including two women, gratutious humiliation is used to break you down.' '... worst jail that you can possibly imagine.' 'Not even a hole to go to the bathroom. You have to piss against a wall and you sleep in piss on the concrete floor.' The torture victim demands 'the immediate shutdown of this secret underground prison'. It's not at Abu Ghraib, it's in Marseille, France.
