Oh. The explanation for Congress' closed session surfaces.

Today's Washington Post article about CIA secret prisons scattered around the world.

I guess we now know what Tuesday's closed session in the Senate was about.

The Washington Post would have informed them that this article was coming out on Wednesday: "Do you have anything to add?" I bet the Democrats were pissed.

The two unidentified European countries that have CIA prisons are Poland and Romania. WG just informed me that Poland and Romania are both desperate for US weapons and have been given weapons deals in exchange for their participation in the Iraq war.

Except for that Poland pulled their troops, and there's been a confusion with following up with a contract on both sides.

My understanding is that Poland still has their troops in Iraq.

Poland's deal from US military (separate but related to our good relations with them) included an Oliver Hazard Perry class guided missile frigate. But a large part of why they supported the US is that they wanted to join NATO.
