10,000 in secret American prisons...?

Hey, take this with a grain of whatever you take it with. Still, the New Zealand Herald is reporting the Shrub's regime has about 10,000 people held in secret prisons around the world. How much validity should one put in an article printed in the New Zeland Herald is for you to decide. Still, considering the atrocities already committed by this administration, it would come as little surprise.
