Story: Details emerge of al-Qaida figure's escape
Story by Daniel Cooney of the Associated Press.
The military jail in Afghanistan is probably not a secret facility. Otherwise, we most likely would not be reading about the escape now (or last July).
I'm trying to recall of other American conflicts against "utter savages" in the 20th century that involved secret prisons. Can't think of any. I think some quaint treaty had something to do with it.
