Leon Panetta said the CIA no longer used harsh interrogation techniques
The US has stopped running its global network of secret prisons, CIA director Leon Panetta has announced.
"CIA no longer operates detention facilities or black sites," Mr Panetta said in a letter to staff. Remaining sites would be decommissioned, he said.
The "black sites" were used to detain terrorism suspects, some of whom were subjected to interrogation methods described by many as torture.
President Obama vowed to shut down the facilities shortly after taking office..............................................................

Is anybody buying this? I am havin g flashbacks to when Bush told us that these secret prisons didn't exist, then they did exist a but now they're closed and then anybody who asked questions about his secret prisons was a terror supporter/liberal/democrat. So I might be a bit jaded but I have a hard time believing the gov when it says that they are shuting down their secret prisons.
