Thank you Brian Ross for exposing this dreadful issue of torture. Keep up the good work!!!

These people are trying to kill Americans and Europeans alike. I couldn't care less that they have been "mistreated".

I wonder if we will ever find out whether ANY of the prisoners subjected to torture ever divulged a serious, genuine planned attack. Given the level of failure in this administration to support any of its dire predictions/allegations, I'm guessing they're just spinning to make this heinous program look like a success when, in fact, it's just more rights-violating boondoggle that has lowered all Americans in the eyes of the world...far more damaging than a terrorist attack, being isolated in the world with little respect or support has weakened America everywhere, not just in the Middle East.

There is nothing wrong with secret prisons, Stalin had them, Hitler had them, why can the United States have them.

This Government would be better off telling the truth, we don't believe the lies and cover ups any longer. You can't hide any longer.

What happens at Gitmo, stays at Gitmo

Good. Terrorists who kill innocents, including children and hide behind religion do not deserve any better. I, as one American do not care about abuses. Find them and get the information necessary, any way.

I wonder if ever found out from this terrorists anything just by asking for the info. And for Dan, if you compare the U.S. government with the govenment of old Russia and the Nazis, you are killing again all of those killed in the Nazi camps and in the Siberian camps. You're either an ignorant that hasn't read a page of any history books, or a radical like Ahmadinejad. In either case, you should be ashamed of yourself. You don't know anything about pain and suffering of millions, in Russia of many generations. Turn off the radio and the TV and pick up a book or if that's too hard for you just shut up...you're torturing / killing the over again.

Hitler KILLED out of racism, Stalin KILLED against freedom and democracy, U.S. is using SECRET PRISONS to defend our land (9/11 for those with short memory) and way of life. Hope that you're not or never be parent.

When did it become O.K. to become them.

Hmmm.....if it's OK to do it, why try to hide it? Is there any strategic advantage in keeping such behavior secret? Some might say it's so "they won't know we know," but does anyone really think those meaning to do us harm won't re-think thier plans when a co-conspirator is captured? Maybe they're not that smart. Why does the US hide this sort of behavior? To avoid the appearance of hypocrisy. What's the outcome when the information comes out? The appearance of hypocrisy.

Wikipedia definition: Hypocrisy is the act of pretending to have beliefs, virtues and feelings that one does not truly possess. The word derives from the late Latin hypocrisis and Greek hupokrisis both meaning play-acting or pretence. The word is arguably derived from hypo- meaning small, + krinein meaning to decide/to dispute. A classic example of a hypocritical act is to denounce another for carrying out some action whilst carrying out the same action oneself.

Defending one's country by any means it's a duty that you'll never understand from your confortable universe. Get out of your cacoon and be gratefull for those who put their live in danger for you to watch TV. I bet you wouldn't put your live in danger to save a woman been rubbed. Just think a bit about that. I'm a naturalized american, but if you don't mind me asking you...where did you learn english? KILLING innocent poeple DOES NOT equal secret prisons. And to mountainfast read your made up definition and read your post again, where is the hypocrasy? We're just trying to defend ourselves, yea by any means, because people like you would hide under your bedswhen the tough get tougher. So many kids have lost their lives so you can sip from your wine and take your vitimins. They have something you'll never have, because you can't buy it at the foo foo shops. They know something that you don't know because you live a selfish live. Don't go to see the movie "300", don't waste your time and money, you'll NEVER understand!!!!

...you'd be surprised how fast the outrage disappears if we get clobbered by another 9-11 scenario. Yeah, sure, everybody is aghast at this...but I'm wondering how many are showing indignation to soothe their own consciences...

Take a breath, Bill - first of all, I'm just saying that it's hypocritical to righteously claim "we don't torture," then have it turn out that we've been doing so. I'd be fine with it if our government said, "we'll do WHATEVER we need to do to protect our people." I simply have a problem with the hypocritical aspect.

Secondly, I don't sip wine, I don't take vitamins, and I've never been to a foo-foo shop. I'm a wildland firefighter, and am not accustomed to hiding under a bed when things get warm. You have every right to be insulting, but it doesn't become you.

Congratulations on being a naturalized US citizen - please try to remember, though, that a citizen's responsibility to express disagreement with the government is one of the many freedoms our military has bled for since our nation's inception.

Sheep make good subjects, not good citizens.

The movie "300" was very entertaining, and has value in being so. If you're interested in the history behind it, try reading Herodotus.

Thanks again to Brian Ross. Isn`t Poland where all those WWII Concentration Camps were?

Let's see, did we learn anything when we tortured and killed the Native Americans out of their land? When the Japanese Americans were put in camps after Pearl Harbour? Slavery? ....apparently NOT.

Some things never change. Hitler would have loved this secret "detainee" concept, he would have admired Bush/Cheney.

Bill, you have some real anger issues, as well as being verbally abusive. You make suppositions about Mountainfast's character and behavior based solely on his statements and personal viewpoints. Personal attacks like that just make you look nasty.

IF the US does, in fact, have these secret prisons, then the US is breaking international law. You and others can justify it until Hell freezes over, but it is still illegal. ILLEGAL. Get it?

3,500 men and women did not die for you and I and this country, they died for nothing. I don't like having to say that but it's true. Iraq was not a threat to any of us and was not a haven for terrorists until we invaded a soverign country for no cause at all. Which is by the way illegal. Bush and Cheney should be tried for war crimes and impeached for all the high crimes and misdemeanors they have done.

Well i guess gassing a few thousand of your own people, invading two neighboring countries, executing your rivals ( some in wood chippers feet first on video ) thumbing your nose at the U.N., and responsible for a few million deaths over the decades...na, he wasnt bad to the pacifist left..its ok to do all that..just as long as they keep republicans from doing anything about it. Liberals are used to defending our enemies since vietnam. You know, like poster girl liberal Jane Fonda on the AAA gun.
