New CIA Prison News

ABC news is reporting:

Dec. 5, 2005 -- Two CIA secret prisons were operating in Eastern Europe until last month when they were shut down following Human Rights Watch reports of their existence in Poland and Romania.
Current and former CIA officers speaking to ABC News on the condition of confidentiality say the United States scrambled to get all the suspects off European soil before Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice arrived there today. The officers say 11 top al Qaeda suspects have now been moved to a new CIA facility in the North African desert.

And,

Just so Rice and her hosts can truthfully say "there are no CIA secret prisons", in the present tense.

Luckily for Poland, the government just changed. Unluckily for Poland, they'll have a hard time proving that the outgoing government did not inform them of whatthe CIA was doing there. Luckily for Poland, the EU treaty provides for sanctions in the case of "persistent" rights violations, and one thing these prisons are not any more is "presistent".
