US accused on 'missing' prisoners
Thirty eight people believed to have been held in secret CIA prisons - or black sites - are missing, according to a report by a US human rights group.
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) report also details allegations of torture by a terror suspect who was held in secret custody for more than two years.
The group has asked US President George W Bush to reveal the location of these detainees and close all US black sites.
Last year Mr Bush said the prisons had all closed and had not used torture.
'Missing' prisoners
In a televised address in September, Mr Bush admitted that 14 detainees had been held at secret CIA prisons that used interrogation methods that were "tough" but "lawful and necessary".
"The United States does not torture," Mr Bush said at the time. "It's against our laws, and it's against our values. I have not authorised it - and I will not authorise it."
He said the prisoners had since been transferred to the US military camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and the CIA was not holding any more terror suspects.
But in a report published on Tuesday, HRW has named another 38 people who were believed to have been held in secret CIA prisons, who are now missing.
Quoting US intelligence officials, The Washington Post says more than 60 people have been held in the prisons since 2001.
'Beaten and burned'
The group has called on the US to reveal the location of all detainees held by the CIA since 2001 and end its "illegal" secret detention and interrogation programmes.
Palestinian Islamic extremist Marwan al-Jabour told HRW he saw or spoke to a number of those named in the report while he was held by the CIA between 2004 and 2006.

As Jabour suggests, they´re probably lost in Pakistan.
The so-called "intelligence communities" of the U.S.A. and Pakistan have a long record of political-policial incest.
At a recent NATO cermony* in Munich the Foreign Minister of Pakistan was ranting against the Western "sensitivities" against landmines. The Pakistani government would like to close its borders to Afghanistan by increasing the risk for individuals to get lost, so that only trained terrorists can sneak through the minefields.
Here the program of the event, here the mp3 file. Minister Kasuri speaks 08:37-14:44.
This is an instructive example of a totalitarian mercenary in full ranting mode, from a person probably used to cutting down a Langley fratboy before breakfast. |
