Report: Defense Intelligence Agency Running Secret Prison at Bagram
-------------------------------------------------------------------



In news from Afghanistan, the Atlantic Magazine is reporting the Defense
Intelligence Agency is running a classified interrogation facility at a
secret prison inside the Bagram Air Force Base in Afghanistan. The
secret site is run by intelligence operatives and interrogators who work
for the DIA’s Defense Counterintelligence and Human Intelligence Center.
They perform interrogations for a sub-unit of Task Force 714, an elite
counterterrorism brigade. Prisoners held at the site have reported being
subjected to sleep deprivation, freezing temperatures and other abuses.
