A secret terrorism "black site" prison in Poland, confirmed to exist in documents first detailed by a 2007 exclusive report for Raw Story, was the subject of an international dispute between US and Polish authorities, an official document released Tuesday revealed. Poland's request for US cooperation in a probe of the secret CIA prison was declined, according to a letter released by the Helsinki Foundation, a human rights organization located in Warsaw, Poland.
Intelligence officials who spoke to Raw Story on the condition of anonymity identified the site as a component of a Polish intelligence training school outside the northern Polish village of Stare Kiejkuty.

Only the Polish prime minister and top Polish intelligence brass were told of the plan, in which US agents quietly shuttled detainees from other holding facilities around the globe for stopovers and short-term interrogation in Poland between late 2002 and 2004.
According to a confidential British intelligence memo shown to Raw Story, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair told Poland's then-Prime Minister Leszek Miller to keep the information secret, even from his own government.
