    CIA operates secret prisons

    NEW YORK -- The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al-Qaida captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement, the Washington Post reported.

    The secret facility is part of a covert prison system set up by the CIA nearly four years ago that at various times has included sites in eight countries, including Thailand, Afghanistan and several democracies in Eastern Europe, as well as a small center at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, according to current and former intelligence officials and diplomats from three continents, the paper said Tuesday on its Web site.

          Obviously this is overblown by some liberal conspiracy -- THERE ARE NO SUCH PRISONS!!

            Oh for chrissakes, it's crossed the line from biting commentary to annoying farce when three of the first four replies are of the "lol omg wtf piym" variety.

              So you side with the terrorists instead of debating?

                I really wonder why the US is constantly undermining its own position in human rights matters.

                      Seriously - I don't understand why they are volunteeringly giving up an important component of soft power. Maybe the military superiority has led them to believe that this is useless anyway, and that hard power is all you need. I think this would be short-sighted.

                      Then there's of course the little problem how we justify future attempts to generate pressure on the bad guys if it turns out the US is involved in serious HR violations as well.

                      Not to mention what it means for the self-image the USians have as the "good guys".

                        CIA taking cues from China.
