A British human rights group has accused the Bush administration of continuing to secretly hold prisoners in overseas prisons. Last week President Bush announced that 14 prisoners being held in secret CIA prisons would be transferred to Guantanamo. During his speech Bush said there are now no terrorists in the CIA program. However the British group Reprieve said the whereabouts of dozens of detained terrorist suspects remain unknown. The group’s legal director, Clive Stafford-Smith, said the Bush administration is holding several hundred detainees at the Bagram airbase in Afghanistan — none of whom has been named by the Pentagon.
