Title: US abusing detainees in secret Afghan prison: report

NEW YORK — The US military is mistreating detainees -- and violating its own rules -- at a secret prison in Afghanistan, a US think tank said Friday in a report.

The 16-page report by the Open Society Foundation said Afghans call the secret site "Tor Jail," or "Black Jail," and that consistent accounts from detainees refer to being kept without adequate shelter or food or other basic rights.

The Pentagon quickly rejected abuses, but said it was looking into the allegations.

"The Department of Defense does not operate any 'secret prisons,'" a spokesman said.

Any classified "temporary screening/detention facilities" operate under international regulations and are known to the International Committee of the Red Cross, the spokesman said.

However, the spokesman said officials had "received the report from (Open Society) and are reviewing it."

The report from Open Society, which is financed by US billionaire George Soros, said the allegedly secret facility was on Bagram Air Base, outside Kabul, but was not the same as the already well documented Bagram detention facility.

"Detainees state that they were held in excessively cold isolation cells; supplied inappropriate or inadequate food, bedding, and blanketing; denied exposure to natural light; unable to carry out their religious duties; restricted from exercise; and kept from meeting with the International Committee of the Red Cross," Open Society said.

It said that some detainees claimed to have been held there as recently as this year.

"The allegations about Tor Jail should be taken seriously by the Obama administration, which has sought to reform detention practices in Afghanistan," said Jonathan Horowitz, author of the report.

The Pentagon said it always treated prisoners "humanely."

"The United States requires that all DOD detention operations meet a high standard of humane care and custody," the spokesman said.

The US military has been under the scrutiny of rights groups for years after revelations of abuse at prisons in Iraq and at CIA "black sites," and in the light of controversy over the military facility at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Subscribe to *Not GOP Joos Bush-Do U care?*

Print Feds Confirm Mumbai Plotter Trained With Terrorists While Working for DEA by Sebastian Rotella ProPublica, Oct. 16, 2010, 11:04 p.m.

Federal officials acknowledged Saturday that David Coleman Headley, the U.S. businessman who confessed to being a terrorist scout in the 2008 Mumbai attacks, was working as a DEA informant while he was training with terrorists in Pakistan.

Federal officials, who spoke only only on background because of the sensitivity of the Headley case, also said they suspect a link between Headley and the al Qaeda figures whose activities have sparked recent terror threats against Europe.

“News organizations should be cautioned not to facilitate the leaking of classified documents with this disreputable organization known as WikiLeaks,” warned Pentagon spokesman Col. David Lapan."

Chris Floyd:

"For a system sunk so deeply in evil, there is no "lesser" evil to choose. The militarist kleptocracy itself is evil, and every political faction that does not denounce it and seek to dismantle it is complicit in this evil. The choice is to stand outside such factions; the choice is non-cooperation with evil, as advocated by Thoreau, Tolstoy, Gandhi, King."

Their silence proves their concern for humanity is fake.

If a situation cannot be used in an attempt to discredit the GOP, conservatives, Sarah or even Israel; it's of no interest to the left.

Thats why the MSM rarely talks about Afghanistan today.

George Soro's organization is the one making this public, not Fox News.

I think we all know where the "fake" is.
