Admissions of Guilt

CNN is now reporting that the government will transfer detainees held at "secret CIA prisons" to Defense Department detention centers, where they will get Geneva Convention protections (well, maybe, as Bob Franken is now saying). Eventually, they'll get whatever military tribunals which will be authorized through Congress.

So the Bush Administration is now admitting that the CIA has shepherded away high-value targets into secret prisons. I don't think they've done this before.

This comes on the same day that DoD has revised the Army Field Manual under compliance to the Geneva Conventions.

My, this is a shift.
