Secret "dark prison" in Afghanistan

Human Rights Watch published a new press release documenting the existence of a secret CIA prison in Afghanistan until at least late 2004. The so-called "dark prison" has been independently described by various detainees in US custody (or ex-detainees). There were no uniformed US personnel operating in the "facility" which was kept in near total darkness. The report claims detainees were strapped up against walls, sleep deprived, and subjected to days and days of heavy metal and hip-hop (specifically Eminem and Dr Dre). They were often kept in shackles which caused their hands to swell.
