CNN doesn't seem to be making much noise about this but sounds newsworthy to me

US may be hiding detainees, Red Cross says

GENEVA -- The International Committee of the Red Cross said Tuesday that it suspects the United States is hiding detainees in lockups across the globe, though the agency has been granted access to thousands of prisoners in Iraq and elsewhere.

Terror suspects reported by the FBI as captured have never turned up in detention centers, and the United States has failed to reply to agency demands for a list of everyone it is holding, said Red Cross spokeswoman Antonella Notari.

"These people are, as far as we can tell, detained in locations that are undisclosed not only to us but also to the rest of the world," she said.

White House spokesman Scott McClellan said that he is "looking further into" the Red Cross concerns and added: "We do work closely with the Red Cross on all detainee issues." He did not concede that a problem exists.

im not really surprised by either the fact that they're hiding detainees, or that cnn isnt talking about it... this is america we're talking about.

it's still very frustrating, though.
