I regularly write and translate for Amnesty International and I know that this kind of detention without charge happens much too often in too many places. I cannot taste 'funny' comments like this one posted by <em>ehswan</em>. It is a good thing that Human Rights Watch is already aware of the case. Let's hope the international community can help this man soon. Kind regards, Jan Marien Dear Henry Farrell

What do they do if not police secrets? Then the question nags, how does one police secrets? Perhaps they arrest the secretaries who have not kept the secrets. And what are the secrets that the "secret police", police? To my low income central Kentucky mind, it just gets murkier and murkier! LONG LIVE THE NET. What is the meaning of “secret police”?
