US black sites

Hello?! How/why do we do things like this? Is anyone else concerned??

Some key lines from Report: CIA holds terror suspects in secret prisons:

"Virtually nothing is known about who is kept in the facilities, what interrogation methods are employed with them, or how decisions are made about whether they should be detained or for how long."

"Those concerns [from lawmakers, foreign governments and human rights groups about the opaque CIA system] escalated last month, when Vice President Cheney and CIA Director Porter J. Goss asked Congress to exempt CIA employees from legislation already endorsed by 90 senators that would bar cruel and degrading treatment of any prisoner in U.S. custody."
