Bush: CIA kept terror suspects in secret prisons

By immigrationprof

Bush said alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed is among 14 detainees to be transferred from CIA to Pentagon custody at Guantanamo Bay.  Click here for the full story.

Sadly enough, no real surprises here.  But when will the secret prisons end?  Will they be used in the “war on drugs”? Or other wars of indetrminate duration and uncertain objective?
