On Thursday, Department of Justice Attorneys agreed to ‘preserve’ secret overseas facilities where CIA held and tortured terrorist suspects, according to the New York Times. A separate grand jury is investigating the destruction of CIA videotapes alleged to show torture of Al Qaeda captives.
A day earlier, the Times reported that attorneys representing Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, a Tanzanian man formerly held at Guantanamo and now facing Federal terrorism charges in New York, told a Federal judge that they want to visit the alleged secret CIA overseas prison, or “black site,” where their client was reportedly held for two years.
