LONDON, United Kingdom -- In its most detailed report yet on alleged secret rendition flights of terror suspects, Amnesty International said three former detainees have lent support to the idea that eastern European countries may have been involved in secret CIA flights to so-called "black site" prisons.
The report provides detailed accounts of the experiences of three Yemeni men — Muhammad Bashmilah, Muhammad al-Assad and Salah Nasser Salim Ali — who believe they were taken by U.S. authorities to secret prisons following lengthy journeys through different climates and time zones.
Bashmilah said he was detained in Jordan in October 2003 while on a trip to visit his mother. Ali said he was detained in Indonesia in August 2003 and then flown to Jordan where he was taken into custody. Al-Assad said he was detained in Tanzania in 2003. None of the three could say with confidence where they were taken next.
In statements from February and March, they described travel times, changing climates, temperatures, and daylight hours in detailed descriptions Amnesty says indicates they may have been held in eastern Europe.
The men were allegedly held for 13 months at a so-called "black site," a clandestine facility believed to be run by the CIA, before they were returned to Yemen where they were charged with forging travel documents, Amnesty said.
In a statement released with the report, Amnesty International said new information from the men raised "the possibility that they were held somewhere in eastern Europe or central Asia."
"Their captors went to great lengths to conceal their location from the men, but circumstantial evidence such as climate, prayer schedules, and flight times to and from the site suggest that they may have been held in eastern Europe or central Asia,"

They report UFOs too!
Well I for one am glad that Amnesty got that all figured out.
Umm Amnesty. The Terrorists are lying. We have training camp documents captured in Afganistan that show they are trained to do this crap to get you Leftwing fools to do their PR work for them. We say this is what they are doing here with their unsubstaiated accusations. Prove us wrong.
Is it true that these mopes are always telling the truth but just happen to be traveling with forged travel documents?
Far as I'm concerned, all captured terrorists should be dead.
Keeping them alive anywhere is a waste of oxygen...
You could get some environmentalists to take your side with rehetoric like that. Good idea!
Who cares! Who cares if infamous terrorists were kept in secret prisons! Should we broadcast their whereabouts? The lack of common sense on the part of some people is appalling.
There's no story a terrorist can come up with that Amnesty International doesn't believe.
If the CIA is secretly flying terrorists to a secret prison so they can secretly torture them and learn their secrets, I may be on board with it, but don't ask me.
It's a secret.
Now, at last the Libroids realize that the "black site" prisons" are really Roach Motels for terrorist prisoners.
