A secret terrorism "black site" prison in Poland, confirmed to exist in documents first detailed by a 2007 exclusive report for Raw Story, was the subject of an international dispute between US and Polish authorities, an official document released Tuesday revealed. Poland's request for US cooperation in a probe of the secret CIA prison was declined, according to a letter released by the Helsinki Foundation, a human rights organization located in Warsaw, Poland.

Intelligence officials who spoke to Raw Story on the condition of anonymity identified the site as a component of a Polish intelligence training school outside the northern Polish village of Stare Kiejkuty.

Only the Polish prime minister and top Polish intelligence brass were told of the plan, in which US agents quietly shuttled detainees from other holding facilities around the globe for stopovers and short-term interrogation in Poland between late 2002 and 2004.

According to a confidential British intelligence memo shown to Raw Story, former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair told Poland's then-Prime Minister Leszek Miller to keep the information secret, even from his own government.

4. Makes you wonder if there is any connection between this

and the plane crash that took many of this countries officials out?

"The 2010 Polish Air Force Tu-154 crash occurred on 10 April 2010, when a Tupolev Tu-154M aircraft of the Polish Air Force crashed near the city of Smolensk, Russia, killing all 96 people on board. These included the Polish president Lech Kaczyński and his wife, the chief of the Polish General Staff and other senior Polish military officers, the president of the National Bank of Poland, Poland's deputy foreign minister, Polish government officials, 12 members of the Polish parliament, senior members of the Polish clergy, and relatives of victims of the Katyn massacre."http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Polish_Air_Force_Tu-154_crash
