US Sought to Build Guantanamo-Style Prison on Diego Garcia

Offshoring the CIA torture further from the borders and prying eyes of the Country!

Britain 'discussed' US request to build Guantanamo-style prison on Diego Garcia after September 11 attacks, officials say

As Democrats fight for information about the CIA's secret kidnap and torture programme to be published in a landmark report, The Telegraph has learnt details of America's requests to use British territory of Diego Garcia in network of secret prison sites

13 Aug 2014 - Tony Blair's government discussed a US request for permission to use the British territory of Diego Garcia to house a Guantanamo Bay-style prison camp for up to 500 terrorist detainees, the Telegraph has learnt.

The fresh details of US desire to use Diego Garcia in its counter-terror operations emerge as Britain faces renewed questioning over its own support for highly controversial CIA programmes in the years after September 11.
