Oh, so there ARE secret prisons... Has anybody told Condi...?

this isn't going to play well in europe (or the united states, either, for that matter)...

President Bush has acknowledged the existence of secret CIA prisons and said 14 key terrorist suspects have now been sent to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba

The suspects, who include the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks Khalid Sheikh Mohammed have now been moved out of CIA custody and will face trial.

Mr Bush defended as "vital" the CIA's interrogation programme, but denied the use of torture.

He said all suspects will be afforded protection under the Geneva Convention.

In a televised address speech alongside families of those killed in the 11 September 2001, Mr Bush said there were now no terrorist suspects under the CIA programme.

Mr Bush said he was making a limited disclosure of the CIA programme because interrogation of the men it held was now complete and because a US Supreme Court decision had stopped the use of military commissions for trials.

no explanation for the initial lying, of course...
