There are plenty of reasons to have secure facilities close to where action is taking place. No one was outraged that the CIA had (and still has) safe houses all over the world to take captured spies or to protect defectors during the Cold War. Often it would take so long to get the people back to the US that information could become unusable. I understand what you're upset by, but it's not in my nature to start pointing fingers with nothing more than rumor to go on.

In order to maintain national security in the modern world, there must be secrets. If every Joe Blow on the street knew everything about our military and intelligence operations, we'd be in serious trouble. I accept that some things must be kept covert, especially when it comes to intelligence gathering. Yes, I am disturbed by the Iraqi prison scandal; yes, I am concerned about Guantanamo, but I do not see anything like that here.
