EXCLUSIVE: Sources Tell ABC News Top Al Qaeda Figures Held in Secret CIA Prisons
ABC News ^ | December 5 2005 | BRIAN ROSS and RICHARD ESPOSITO

Posted on 12/05/2005 5:35:03 PM PST by jmc1969

Dec. 5, 2005 — Two CIA secret prisons were operating in Eastern Europe until last month when they were shut down following Human Rights Watch reports of their existence in Poland and Romania.

Current and former CIA officers speaking to ABC News on the condition of confidentiality say the United States scrambled to get all the suspects off European soil before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived there today. The officers say 11 top al Qaeda suspects have now been moved to a new CIA facility in the North African desert.

All but one of these 11 high-value al Qaeda prisoners were subjected to the harshest interrogation techniques in the CIA's secret arsenal, the so-called "enhanced interrogation techniques" authorized for use by about 14 CIA officers and first reported by ABC News on Nov. 18.

Sources tell ABC News that the CIA has a related system of secretly returning other prisoners to their home country when they have outlived their usefulness to the United States.

Thanx for posting this. The CIA is still elaking like a seive.
Folks should read the whole article.
If McCain had his way earlier, none of these people would have told anybody about anything.

RE: Current and former CIA officers speaking to ABC News on the condition of confidentiality

Not that I am jaded or cynical in any way, but I wonder if these particular CIA officers are all the Clinton and Carter era vermin who Goss has not gotten around to rooting out and firing?

The leakers are adamant! God help us if the US government cannot stop this core of leakers operating within the CIA and set us up, as a nation, to have the hard work of our intelliegnce community (and that of our cooperating allies) betrayed at the whim of any intelligence analyst who disagrees with any US policy..

Doesn't the left get it? Being in Europe for awhile is better than going through a shredder feet first.

But no, they don't get it. Their take on viscious, psychopaths is always the same.....whether its Saddam or Tookie.

CIA leaking classified information to the press... there will be an investigation, right? And the perps will be marched out in handcuffs, right?

I'm still waiting to see Plame and Wilson in cuffs. It hasn't happened yet.

Time for a house cleaning at the CIA. What the hell are CIA people doing spreading this kind, or any kind, of information to ABC or any of the MSM. If I were President Bush, I'd make it my New Years resolution to get these bas*&^ds out of the CIA!

It should be obvious to everyone many in the CIA have been working to undermine the Bush administration for years - this being but the latest example, following the Wilson opera.

Send them all to Teddy Kenedy's and the DNC office in D.C. They should be able to make them live a comfrotable existence.

This could actually be good. If they'll tell us where the prisons are, they can set up a carnival attraction: Pay $5 for 10 throws. Hit the target and the terrorist in the cage gets dunked in… boiling oil.

After their little pea brains have been drained of information they should be dumped on the side of the road as dead as a roach....no big deal. They don't respect human life, they should be accorded the same.

At what point does the CiC conclude that effectively, a coup d'etat attempt is being made, and order the arrest of the coup plotters? This is like the real world version of 8 Days in May and in the real world, it's not the "big bad Military Industrial Complex" but instead a bunch of Lefty, commie and islamonazi symp, globalist good-for-nothing rats within the CIA who are in need of trainloads of pink slips.
