The American Gulag
The Washington Post has reported that the CIA maintains a worldwide network of secret prisons where it detains and interrogates captives. One such prison is located in an unspecified Eastern European country. The secret nature of this gulag means that "virtually nothing is known about who the detainees are, how they are interrogated or about decisions on how long they will be held." A particularly ominous portion of that level of ignorance the question of "how they are interrogated." Combining the fact of secrecy with the effort by the White House to exempt the CIA from the proposed prohibition against torture, and it isn't hard to connect the dots. One can only surmise that the CIA is practicing torture throughout the world, with the full complicity and support of the Bush regime.
