CIA Black Site Update: Records Confirm CIA Flights

It's a story the media would seem to want to get its clacking fingers into.  Spies, secret torture bases, alleged terrorists.  Very sexy stuff.  There's only one problem.  The side alleged to have been engaged in this cloak-and-dagger stuff is the United States.  Exposure of such inconvenient facts would belie the United States reputation as an upholder of law and order.  That's why you won't find the Western press digging into the stories and rumors of CIA black sites in eastern Europe.  It just doesn't jive with the accepted narrative.  Despite that, bits and pieces of information do get out there, adding pieces to the puzzle.  The latest being official records confirming that CIA flights did land in Poland, despite previous government denials in Warsaw.

Lithuanian Parliament: CIA Had Two Black Sites


Two CIA black sites but no proof 'al-Qaeda terrorist suspects' were ever housed there. 

That's the main finding of a much ballyhooed parliamentary probe in Lithuania, site of the latest reports of CIA-run 'interrogation' sites in eastern Europe. 

The report is riddled with lots of cautionary wording like 'may have', and 'could have', but the lawmakers did not issue a whitewash. Not exactly.
