A barbed wire fence surrounds a military area in the forest in the village of Stare Kiejkuty in northeastern Poland. The CIA ran a secret jail here on Polish soil. "The location of the secret prisons remains one of the few classified facts left about the program, so I can't go into details," he says. "I can say that the prison system was in effect for close to eight years and that the locations would change for security reasons."
