Do you take the word of a bank-robber, coming out of the bank with a sack of money over his shoulder, saying "I'm not breaking the law"?
A secret interrogation site in Baghdad is a location where the United States government conducted interrogations of suspected terrorists or enemy combatants during the Iraq War. These sites were kept secret from the public and were often located in undisclosed locations.
The U.S. admitted to having a secret interrogation site in Baghdad in 2013. Former President Barack Obama acknowledged the existence of the site in a speech about national security and counterterrorism efforts.
The U.S. government believed that having a secret interrogation site in Baghdad would be an effective way to gather intelligence and extract information from suspected terrorists or enemy combatants. It was part of their larger strategy in the War on Terror.
Yes, there were several controversies surrounding the secret interrogation site in Baghdad. The methods used at the site, such as waterboarding, were considered by many to be forms of torture. There were also concerns about the legality and morality of conducting interrogations in secret and without proper oversight.
It is not known if the secret interrogation site in Baghdad is still in operation. After the U.S. government admitted to its existence, it was reportedly shut down. However, there have been reports of other secret interrogation sites operated by the U.S. government in other countries, so it is possible that the practice still continues in some form.
