6. November 14th next deadline

I can never search dkos or find that diary, but someone should have it bookmarked. The deadline for appeal was extended until the 14th, as the pentagon is supposedly deciding whether to appeal, or to comply. (yeah right)

I think the legal term is "Running out the clock"

DKOS's search function at 4am is about as useful as DU's on election night. in other words, nonfunctional.

8. Thanks - that is hard-to-find info! (n/t)

9. Here is the dkos diary by Caj

It disturbs me that I have heard so little about this. Not in the media, and barely a peep even here in Daily Kos. There is an occasional post on an open thread. I think the matter deserves more attention.

also:

UPDATE: as posted by georgia10 below, there seems to have been an extension (an "enlargement") to November 15th. I am less boggled now by the lack of news. Let's remember to keep an eye on this, in the mean time---and thanks everyone for the info! I know I can count on the folks at DKos to collectively get to the bottom of anything.

It is amazing how little converage this case is getting.

From WaPo:


WASHINGTON--The CIA has been hiding and interrogating some of its
most important al-Qaida captives at a Soviet-era compound in Eastern
Europe, according to U.S. and foreign officials familiar with the
arrangement.

The secret facility is part of a covert prison system set up by the
CIA nearly four years ago that at various times has included sites in
eight countries, including Thailand, Afghanistan and several
democracies in Eastern Europe, as well as a small center at the
Guantanamo Bay prison in Cuba, according to current and former
intelligence officials and diplomats from three continents.

More from WaPo:

The existence and locations of the facilities--referred to as ``black
sites'' in classified White House, CIA, Justice Department and
congressional documents--are known to only a handful of officials in
the United States and, usually, only to the president and a few top
intelligence officers in each host country.

The CIA and the White House, citing national security concerns and
the value of the program, have dissuaded Congress from demanding that
the agency answer questions in open testimony about the conditions
under which captives are held. Virtually nothing is known about who
is kept in the facilities, what interrogation methods are employed
with them, or how decisions are made about whether they should be
detained or for how long.
