Panetta terminates secret prisons

The CIA is decommissioning the secret overseas prisons where top al Qaida suspects were subjected to interrogation methods.... the agency said Thursday.

In an e-mail to the agency's work force outlining current interrogation and detention policies, CIA Director Leon Panetta also announced that agreements with the private security firms guarding the so-called black sites will be "promptly terminated," and contractors no longer will be used to conduct interrogations.

  • Two decisions I agree with; close those prisons and get rid of the contract employees.

    Agree with President Obama or not, he's keeping his promises like no other politician (especially President) I can remember.

  • We're early in this thing, but, yeah, broadly so.
