Ninth Amendment Resumes Dissemination

Monday, March 29, 2010, EL PASO - This past week the editor-in-chief and spiritual leader of this log reappeared after a nearly six month absence which interrupted routine dissemination of news and information in regular postings here. Plans now have resumed to continue future timely postings.
The editor reports in the last days of October 2009 while vacationing in Peshawar (which does not celebrate Halloween) he had a black hood thrown over his head, was handcuffed and shackled, and was injected with an unknown substance that made him "feel good" but also left him disoriented and unable to recall the following week.
He regained consciousness and memory in a cell with only a mattress, a copy of Gideons' Bible, and smelled of cat litter. For the next several months he was allowed only to watch Fox News and videos of the Bush family drag-racing pickup trucks. The food was "mediocre with little variation" and the guards complained about it as well. The editor passed the next five months meditating, doing yoga and talking with the guards outside about trouble they were having with women at home.
Just last week he learned he was at "Gitmo" when one of the guards exclaimed to the other, "We have to get him out of this place!" after learning that the new President Obama essentially had closed the facility about one year earlier. Apparently the "Gitmo" administration had failed to pass this information on to all the employees of the facility.
Nor to all CIA operatives passing through since Air America occasionally dropped new prisoners there when the authorities were unable to determine exactly what legal classification to keep them under without disclosing their confinement or location, without permitting Geneva Convention requirements such as International Red Cross inspections of the facility, or charging them with or trying them with any crimes.
The next thing your editor remembers is again being injected. He asked if he could have some of the drug as a "souvenir" to take home but was denied by the facility administrator (who wore the uniform of a United States Postal employee). Your editor awoke/regained consciousness a few days later at 4 a.m. sitting at the bar of a nightclub in Juarez, Mexico (which coincidentally is where he vacationed last year).
He reports that the happy hour was excellent but tourists should be aware the go-go dancers actually were mostly transsexuals. Also, the State Department has issued a safety warning about Americans vacationing in Juarez although the Department is notorious for often being overly cautious and seriously misinformed. The Department did recently issue a "green light" for families, especially those with small children, taking scenic road trips of Afghanistan which the Department reports recently "has been secured" and the status is "Mission Accomplished."
Please look for information on more developments in upcoming postings here once news from our various world bureaus has been reviewed. So far in 2010 two times the number of American soldiers now have been killed in Afghanistan compared to the first quarter of 2009 as well as three times the number of American casualties. Our hearts go out to the families and loved ones of these brave women and men who have sacrificed their young lives and well being for the sakes of all of us.
