From 2001 until at least 2006 the United States' Central Intelligence Agency secretly operated a clandestine archipelago of black sites, where they tortured individuals who were being held in secret extrajudicial detention -- including a site codenamed Quartz, in Poland.[1] According to the Daily Utah Chronicle the CIA covertly paid corrupt Polish officials $15 million US dollars in return for the operation of the site.

"According to the Washington Post, “In 2003, two senior CIA officers arrived at the U.S. Embassy in Warsaw to pick up a pair of large cardboard boxes. Inside were bundles of cash totaling $15 million.” The CIA then met with Poland’s deputy chief of the intelligence agency, Col. Andrzej Derlatka and “sealed an agreement that … allowed the CIA the use of a secret prison.” Following that information, the Senate Intelligence Committee said they will be releasing portions of the 6,000 page report, as they are legally bound by the Freedom of Information Act."
