CIA rejects secret jails report
Source: BBC

The CIA has dismissed a Council of Europe report alleging that it ran secret jails for terror suspects in Europe after the 11 September attacks.

2. It all depend on what one considers "lawful"
If you make up law as you go along, then technically, it's lawful.

The rest of the free world just happens to disagree.
