Ex-leader: Poland agreed to CIA site, not torture

None

Former Polish President Aleksander Kwasniewski says during his term Poland offered the CIA a site for a secret prison but did not authorize the harsh treatment of inmates.

 

His comments Wednesday were the first time that a Polish leader has admitted the country hosted a secret CIA site.

 

Reports say it operated from December 2002 until the fall of 2003. Kwasniewski was in power from 1995-2005.
