While Guantanamo Bay is the most publicized U.S.-run detention center, the Washington-based group Human Rights First has issued a new report on how the U.S. is now running two dozen secret detention centers around the world. The report concluded “The U.S. government is holding prisoners in a secret system of off-shore prisons beyond the reach of adequate supervision and accountability of law.” Some of the detention centers are believed to be located in Pakistan along the Afghan border; on the Indian Ocean island of Diego Garcia and in Jordan.
