President Bush has admitted recently, that the U.S. is running several "secret prisons" around the world. Has one of these prisons recently been revealed? In a CNN story today, an AP reporter caught sight of a man identified as Brent L. Bennett boarding a plane leaving Kabul, Afghanistan. An American lawyer filing papers on Bennett's behalf said he didn't know whether or not Bennett was in U.S. custody. He had boarded the plane without wearing any restraints.
The man had been convicted in Afghanistan for running a "private prison" in Kabul. When Afghan security forces had raided the house, they found eight afghan men who were being held there who had been abused.
Is this one of the "secret prisons" around the world that Bush has admitted to? If so, can anyone really call something like this a prison? A house, where a couple of "bone-breaker" thugs abuse men trying to get them to talk is not a prison, so much as a toture facility.
