    as I remember those indictements were for kidnapping....it´s reasonable to assume that the people that were "kidnapped" would be taken to these facilities.

    The only people that article indicates that could be in these prisons are "most important al Qaeda captives." As far as I am aware, it is impossible to illegally kidnap a terrorist who is actively involved in armed attacks on civilians. We normally call this "capturing" them.

    Hopefully when they find out (I'm sure it was some Demorat senator or congressman) they'll get sent to one of these locations as well...

    unless US secret agents have some sort of judisdiction on italian soil (and the court seems to consider that they don´t) just grabbing some guy by force out of the street is considered kidnapping by any definition I am familiar with....
    if you want to capture a criminal in a foreign country there are treaties in place for such situations...use them.
