RE: USS Bataan & Black Sites…. I hadn't heard this before. Looks like people were accusing the US of keeping POWs on ships. From: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/jun/02/usa.humanrights
>The United States is operating "floating prisons" to house those arrested in its war on terror, according to human rights lawyers, who claim there has been an attempt to conceal the numbers and whereabouts of detainees. Details of ships where detainees have been held and sites allegedly being used in countries across the world have been compiled as the debate over detention without trial intensifies on both sides of the Atlantic. The US government was yesterday urged to list the names and whereabouts of all those detained. Information about the operation of prison ships has emerged through a number of sources, including statements from the US military, the Council of Europe and related parliamentary bodies, and the testimonies of prisoners.
Bataan is an Amphibious Warship (LHD) so I'm not sure why INTELSky gives a fuck if the ship's brig may have been used to house POWs, the purpose of the ship is to carry Marines and their gear to war, not to house prisoners.
