In a report to the United Nations Committee Against Torture, the Obama administration unequivocally denies the existence of secret detention facilities operated by any part of the U.S. government. The document is a response to "55 questions prepared by the Committee and transmitted to the United States on January 10, 2010," ranging from CIA rendition to allegations of torture by Chicago police in the 1980s. Among those questions were several regarding the detention of suspected terrorists and combatants. Question 5(a) reads, in part:
Please provide information on:
(a) Whether the State party has adopted a policy that ensures that no one is detained in any secret detention facility under its de facto effective control and that publicly condemns secret detention, pursuant the Committee's previous concluding observations (para. 17). Please disclose detailed information on the existence of any such facilities, in the past and present, and the authority under which they have been established.

In Clinton/ Obama speak, that means none of that is occurring on the continental United States...
Obama hasn’t seen it reported on the TV yet so how would he know about any secret prisons?
No, we farm them out.
Either Americans are inherently evil, or there's sum ting wong going on in our police state.
Croatian facilities are run by Croats...
A good wordsmith knows that every single word in that headline could be given about four different interpretations, making the entire statement usefully meaningless, which, of course was the goal.
