Hate to break it to you, but there were 100% innocent people held at CIA black sites for years without any charges, evidence of wrongdoing, or legal means for the persons detained to regain their freedom.
I can remember hearing years ago that a bunch of them were literally just business rivals or personal enemies of the ones who accused them and collected rewards for turning in Taliban/Al-Qaeda terrorists. Imagine your IRL least-liked person phoning a foreign government and making shit up about you, then getting $5-10K and you’re stuck in a windowless cell blasting Slipknot for more than a decade afterward. Someone just * snaps fingers * and you disappear from your life after getting pulled into a panel van.
It’s a good thing the US hasn’t totally embraced sidestepping the constitution with the very clever and not at all adolescent-brained use of black sites…
That sure is some evil business tactic
