Bumping this up from this morning:

Human Rights Watch has released a new report about at least 11 suspected terrorists who have been grabbed overseas by the U.S. and held in countries allowing torture. More is available in today's Guardian. While this report is new, many of the underlying details, including the names of these suspects, is not. [This is a very long post, so you may want to bookmark it for when you have time to read it and follow the links.]

In November, 2003, Human Rights Watch official and Findlaw Columnist Joanne Mariner wrote this article about "the hidden detainees" and their connection to Zacarias Moussaoui:

The most important aspect of Zacarias Moussaoui's prosecution may have little to do with Moussaoui himself.....The larger significance of Moussaoui's case lies elsewhere. It is, at present, the only legal peephole by which to glimpse the circumstances of a much more important group of terrorist suspects: those, like Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and Abu Zubaydah, who are held by the U.S. military for interrogation in "undisclosed locations."

....Right now, the detainees are missing, "disappeared," vanished with hardly a trace. No one knows where they are, and little is known about how they have been treated, although disturbing reports are occasionally leaked. These hidden detainees are in a frightening legal limbo. It is time for the judiciary -- and the Supreme Court, eventually -- to step in.

Human Rights Watch also raised allegations of torture of al Qaeda detainees in December, 2002. It detailed the practice in April, 2003. The Washington Post expounded on the practice on December 26, 2003.
