The C.I.A. announced the closure of overseas CIA prisons for detainees. Private contractors will no longer be involved in interrogating prisoners.
The C.I.A. has never revealed the location of its overseas facilities, but intelligence officials, aviation records and news reports have placed them in Afghanistan, Thailand, Poland, Romania and Jordan, among other countries.

The plan that went wrong. The AG put experienced Prosecutors in the trial of Ted Stevens with the gold to quickly get a mistrial. Now with the so called mistakes done and even tampering with the Jury things should have gone easy and quickly. Yes Ted would have again beat the System as he had done many many times. Ted even spoke about it on tape. One problem not seen by the AG or Prosecutors. The Judge wasn't on the take nor in their back pocket. Yes Judge Sullivan was just an honest Judge applying the Law. Little did he know this was a case the Prosecutors wanted dismissed before the election.
We've seen in Don Siegleman's case the Judge got a big Govenment Contract to make sure of a guilty finding. The Judge even held up his decision until he checked to make sure the money was given to his company. Jean Palfrey's trial was so corrupt with both Judges and Prosecutors having a kangaroo trial. Now I knew this was wrong when Jean's Judge denied her attorney discovery and said she couldn't even have witnesses. It was like a person going in court and not allowed a defense. Why bother to have a trial at all. Not one Law Maker or even a reporter spoke up. Now what put the icing on the cake was the charges. Rico Charge with only so called prostitution. I've seen Black, Wilkes and many others do money transactions overses yet not one got Rico charge. Jean's was easy as it was about pushing the attention away for Wilkes/Cunningham actions. With no Justice System in place these guys could do anything. Smart move to have the Judge paid off as that seals the case.
So that was the real deal...bought and paid for judge. But why does Holder refuse to review it? It doesn't make any sense...
Prissy,
I believe that the reason that Holder will not review Siegleman's case because Holder doesn't want to interfere in the current probe by the House Judiciary Committee into the Siegleman matter. If Holder reviews Siegleman's case, this would give leverage for Rove and Rove's attorney to file DOJ's interference and ask for Rove to not to testify for the House committee.
If House committee didn't reopen the Siegleman matter, then Holder could look at the case. I don't blame Siegelman becing impatient seeing that Rove is not in jail.
All eyes should be on the House committee and their probe into this matter. As I mention a few weeks ago on the blog from a email exchange with Jason Leopold, Rep. John Conyers will not let Karl Rove go. This is personal for Conyers.
