“Lithuania is currently embroiled in a bizarre and deeply confusing political controversy which reveals what happens when a country becomes gripped by extremist ideologies. Evidence has emerged that Lithuanian intelligence agencies allowed secret CIA prisons to be maintained in their country during the Bush era. Just because such prisons would be ‘illegal’ under the so-called ‘law’ of Lithuania and various international conventions to which that nation is a signatory, irresponsible leaders of that country are demanding ‘investigations’ and even possibly legal consequences if it turns out crimes were committed. What kind of a backwards, primitive country would do something like this?” (11/21/09)
