Is this out of some spy movie or what? I came across this item when I was reading Cursor.

An NGO (that's Non-Governmental Organization) called Human Rights First that has discovered about a dozen or so

secret U.S. military detention facilities reported in Afghanistan, Iraq, Pakistan, Jordan, and aboard U.S. ships at sea

Here's the Reuters write-up.

Can I say, "whaaa?" It scares me that there are people being held in secret, without any assurances of their continued safety and the safety of their families, with little to no access to lawyers to determine what they are charged with. Even if some of these people are our enemy, if we (by which I mean the US) treat them outside the boundaries of international law, we are no better than the dictatorial terrarists we're so seemingly intent on stopping. I mean, weren't repeated violations of UN codes the reason the US went to war against Iraq in the first place? If we repeatedly go against internationally agreed codes of conduct, will someone be invading us?
