I know that a cursory examination of this subject was already posted in the Newswire, which is why I'm posting it here. This Washington Post article goes into great detail about the top secret internment camps maintained by the CIA for detention of "terrorists." It's well worth a thorough read.

Nice find brother ;)

Just goes to show the CIA's power and clout within the government, through its abillity to bypass any legaslative questioning regarding their "salt pits"

Seeing how the CIA has so much leverage and freedom around Washington, I wouldn't be surprised if any other agencies such as the Justice Department and the FBI had that same type of leverage or clout
