Jordan denies 'secret US prison'

"Jordan has strongly denied an Israeli newspaper report that senior al-Qaeda suspects are being held at a secret US interrogation facility in the country.

Speaking to Israeli reporters, Foreign Minister Marwan Muasher said he "categorically denied" the report and demanded to see proof of the claims.

Haaretz said about 11 top al-Qaeda men were being held in Jordan.

The facility allowed the CIA to use interrogation techniques banned in the US, Haaretz said...

The Haaretz report follows a Human Rights Watch report that said 11 al-Qaeda suspects were being denied access to the International Red Cross and protection under international law, and suggested that torture had been used."

1. What does "categorically denied" mean?

Why the qualifier?
