Allies of the Bush administration blocked a bill that would allow for the disclosure of the locations of CIA run secret prisons all around the world. The bill would also allow for the disclosure of information on the amount of funding spent by American secret agencies like the CIA. This is a major blow to the Democratic Party in congress because they have long been attempting to find out the work done by American agencies in terms of post-September 11 operations.
Very interesting...the Bush adminstration must have something to hide if its pushing so hard against the work of the Democrats. I feel as if the Democrats feel they are trying to unveil an "evil plan" like in a spy movie or something, and good ol' dubya would be right under the credits for "evil villain". I'm sure now that this will place the United States as a nation with more concern over humanitarian problems, especially from Amnesty International. What happened to international cooperation and transparancy? O well...I guess the CIA is doing their job just as they should!
