Jurist Reports HRW Tough on Bush

Jurist is reporting:

[JURIST] Human Rights Watch Tuesday called on US President George W. Bush in a public letter to account for so-called "ghost prisoners" whose whereabouts and identities have been kept secret since September when Bush acknowledged the existence of secret prisons operated by the the US Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) outside the US where high-value terror suspects were detained. Fourteen high-profile suspects, including alleged Sept. 11 mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed were transferred to the Defense Department's military prison at Guantanamo Bay, but HRW says the whereabouts of 38 other suspects who are believed to be held in CIA prisons are currently unknown.

HRW also released a supporting report Tuesday in which a former CIA detainee, Marwan Jabour, recounted his experiences in a secret CIA prison. AFP has more.
