Red Cross: U.S. Hiding Detainees

The Red Cross is worried that the U.S. is hiding detainees in the War on Terra.

Under international law, the Red Cross is required to have access to all prisoners of war and other detainees, but the U.S. is picking and choosing which detainees to acknowledge.

"We have access to people detained by the United States in Guantanamo Bay, Afghanistan and Iraq, but in our understanding there are people that are detained outside these places for which we haven't received notification or access," said Antonella Notari, a spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross.

The United States says it is cooperating with the organization and has allowed Red Cross delegates access to thousands of prisoners, including former Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.

See? We're giving them access to lots of people, even our highest profile prisoner! What more do they want? All prisoners? These international aid organizations are just never satisfied.
