A secret world of US detention

The Guardian's Jason Burke has an article (re-published at buzzle.com) about the whole system of extra-legal detentions and multinational "snatches" of suspects who cannot be arrested legally. It covers some of the most notorious cases, like Maher Arar, and the more well-known facilities, such as Guantanamo, but these are just the tip of the iceberg. And it is a chilling story, too. Very Gulag archipelago.
