The group said that some suspects were held in Pakistan but that many were handed over to U.S. custody and held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba; Bagram, Afghanistan; or at secret prisons. [latest evidence is those black sites have been closed down due to leak of their presence; the admin got caught so it’s parsed some of the actual bad guys from the detritus collected, shut down black sites (I think), and sent the worst of the worse to gitmo] [fewer than 20 in number] [but clearly bad guys] [one problem is they have either been tortured or trained to say they were tortured so when they get into the military tribunals it may turn into a real legal circus] [***********]
In many cases, U.S. agents paid a bounty of $5,000 to people, usually intelligence agents, who simply declared other people terrorists, seized them and handed them over for interrogation with no legal process, the rights group said.
