US Secret Prisons Revealed 2005-11-3 21:51:04    CRIENGLISH.com Reports surfaced on Wednesday that the US's Central Intelligence Agency, or CIA, has been running a secret system of prisons overseas. The Washington Post newspaper reported that the CIA is hiding and interrogating some of its most important Al-Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe. Reportedly, one of these captives included the main conspirator of the September 11th terrorist attacks, Ramzi Binalshibh. National Security Adviser Stephen Hadley would not confirm or deny the existence of the secret prisons. "While we have to do what is necessary to defend the country against terrorist attacks and to win the war on terror, the President has been very clear that we are going to do that in a way that is consistent with our values." Led by US Vice President Dick Cheney, the Bush administration is floating a proposal that would allow the President to exempt covert agents outside the Defense Department from a Senate-approved ban on torturing detainees in US custody or weakening the ban.       Talk China     Print     Email     Recommend CRIENGLISH.com claims the copyright of all material and information produced originally by our staff.
