Thank you so much for this article. The thought that anyone in our once-great nation would support secret CIA prisons and torture, is astonishing -and frightening- to me. Anyone with an understanding of the ramifications of the "Patriot" Act had better start doing all they can to end these secret prisons and the use of torture. Don't be comforted when they say that those imprisoned are only the "terrorist threats." Besides, torture is NEVER justified.

Note: to anyone interested in keeping themselves out of these CIA prisons, do a little bit of research into who exactly are the ones landing themselves on the "terrorist watchlist." Watch the 45 minute presentation by Naomi Wolf on YouTube.
