A new investigation has revealed the CIA kept a secret detention center at Guantánamo Bay to turn prisoners into double agents. According to the Associated Press, CIA agents used the facility “Penny Lane” to recruit prisoners and then send them back home to kill suspected terrorists. The prisoners were given cottages equipped with private kitchens, showers and real beds. At least one prisoner was forced to comply after CIA agents threatened to harm his children. The double agents were paid millions of dollars before the program ended in 2006.
