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.
