Poland: US Stonewalling CIA Black Site Investigation

• http://news.antiwar.com, by Jason Ditz

Polish prosecutors today accused the Obama Administration of "stonewalling" a Polish government investigation of CIA torture at a secretly run black site in northern Poland, and that they don't seem to be able to get any response from the US at all on their requests.

Poland has been probing the incidents for years, and last month complied with an EU court order insisting they make compensatory payments to a pair of CIA detainees who were tortured in Poland.

President Obama conceded, with the release of a heavily redacted summary of the torture program, that "we tortured some folks." Poland's government is still trying to get its hands on the Senate report itself, on which the summary was based, and formally requested it from the Justice Department.
