US finally admits it denied Red Cross acess to detainees
US blocks ICRC access to suspects

Red Cross workers visit detainees in 80 countries
The US has admitted for the first time that it has not given the Red Cross access to all detainees in its custody.
The state department's top legal adviser, John Bellinger, made the admission but gave no details about where such prisoners were held.

Correspondents say the revelation is only likely to increase suspicion that the CIA has been operating secret prisons out of international oversight.
