At Least 20 CIA Prisoners Still Missing

In one of President Barack Obama first acts in the White House, he ordered the closure of the CIA’s so-called “black-site” prisons, where terror suspects had been held and, sometimes, tortured. The CIA says it is “out of the detention business,” as John Brennan, Obama’s pick to head the agency, recently put it.

But the CIA’s prisons left some unfinished business. In 2009, ProPublica’s Dafna Linzerlisted more than thirty people who had been held in CIA prisons and were still missing.
Some of those prisoners have since resurfaced, but at least twenty are still unaccounted for.

Check Obummer's appointed military advisory council to Brennan, I think you may find them there.

If these people were once terror prisoner and are now "missing", shouldn't that be a very important issue? I think the politicians just loved the Sandy Hook incident because it created the perfect diversion to get the citizens minds off of their screw ups. And there have been countless screw ups or should one say intentional abuses of their elected powers and/or responsibilities.
