The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement.
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.
This wouldn’t have even been a story had it not been for Abu Ghraib. Now, the MSM and the Left’s bleeding hearts are on the lookout for any indication that another ‘Abu Ghraib’ like torture situation might exist. Rather than protecting America from these thugs, Liberals believe the important thing to do is to root out and prosecute members of our own military. You see, we’re the bad guys, not al Qaeda. They’re simply misunderstood.
The sad fact is, the Left has forgotten who attacked us on 9/11.
As far as I’m concerned, we have these al Qaeda members exactly where we want them – out of the United States, and in custody.
