CIA turned some Guantanamo Bay prisoners into double agents against al-Qaeda, AP reports

By Adam Goldman and Matt Apuzzo, Updated: Tuesday, November 26, 11:23 AM

In the early years after 9/11, the CIA turned some Guantanamo Bay prisoners into double agents, sending them home to help the United States kill terrorists, current and former U.S. officials said.

The CIA promised the prisoners freedom, safety for their families and millions of dollars from the agency’s secret accounts.

...

The program was carried out in a secret facility built a few hundred yards from the administrative offices of the prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The eight small cottages were hidden behind a ridge covered in thick scrub and cactus.

...

The program and the handful of men who passed through these cottages had various official CIA code names. But those who were aware of the cluster of cottages knew it best by its sobriquet: Penny Lane.

...

Officials said the program ended in 2006, as the flow of detainees to Guantanamo Bay slowed to a trickle. The last prisoner arrived there in 2008.

Even when the article is quoted and the relevant phrase is in bold font.

CABA chicks are lazy.

Y'know, if the average illegal alien dishwasher were to spend, say, 20 minutes posting on VJ instead of his job....people would notice. It would cause a problem for the business they worked for because of the importance of their position.

Obama was supposed to close Gitmo within 1 year of his (first) inaugeration. Kathleen Sebelius is going to work on that next.

Funny story

I was the Operations manager for a company, and we were having a company meeting. One of the secretaries made a comment, and then said " I am talking about the Peons in the plant".

I stood up and said said Ma'am. Let's take my entry level operator peon. He makes twice what you make and if he walked off the Job the whole plant would go down within in the hour.

You could take 2 weeks off and it would not affect 1 penny or impact us.

Would you like to redefine peon.

I was real popular in admin circles LOL
