On 4 December 2002 Abu Zubaydah was transferred from Thailand to the Polish black site at Stare Kiejkuty. The site was formerly used as an outpost of the intelligence service of the Nazi German SS and by the Soviet Army as an intelligence training facility. In 2002, it was the CIA’s turn. The European Court of Human Rights would later find it was ‘inconceivable’, even in 2002, that Poland did not know the nature of the CIA torture program, yet it actively cooperated, ‘acquiesced and connived’ to make possible the rendition and torture program on European soil.
