U.s. Secret Prison In Thailand

Featured Replies

The Washington Post is reporting on U.S. Secret Prisons including one in Thailand. Should we prepare for possible increased unrest in the Southern provinces? Or is this old news in Thailand?

The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its most important al Qaeda captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the arrangement.

The secret facility is part of a covert prison system set up by the CIA nearly four years ago that at various times has included sites in eight countries, including Thailand, Afghanistan and several democracies in Eastern Europe, as well as a small center at the Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, according to current and former intelligence officials and diplomats from three continents.

...

The existence and locations of the facilities -- referred to as "black sites" in classified White House, CIA, Justice Department and congressional documents -- are known to only a handful of officials in the United States and, usually, only to the president and a few top intelligence officers in each host country.

...

Old news; according to the same article the Thailand facility was closed in 2003.
