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.
Funny how news like this comes out when there's a ton of attention being brought to bear against the Office of the Veep... Who has been pushing to exclude the CIA from the McCain anti-torture legislation.
Almost sounds to me like there are still some old hands in the intel biz who aren't too keen on what they're seeing and are leaking in order to twist the dagger a little more...
