The Black Sites: CIA's Secret Interrogation Program

Jane Mayer writes for The New Yorker: "Soon after Mohammed's arrest, sources say, his American captors told him, 'We're not going to kill you. But we're going to take you to the very brink of your death and back.' He was first taken to a secret U.S.-run prison in Afghanistan. According to a Human Rights Watch report released two years ago, there was a C.I.A.-affiliated black site in Afghanistan by 2002: an underground prison near Kabul International Airport. Distinctive for its absolute lack of light, it was referred to by detainees as the Dark Prison. Another detention facility was reportedly a former brick factory, just north of Kabul, known as the Salt Pit. The latter became infamous for the 2002 death of a detainee, reportedly from hypothermia, after prison officials stripped him naked and chained him to the floor of his concrete cell, in freezing temperatures."
