It has been a decade since the CIA airport that was used to import prisoners to their nearby dungeon has been closed, but Poles are still troubled by the use of their country for such purposes and are still trying to bring charges against collaborating members of their government. The same situation applies to many other known countries, but their ruling classes have been able to shut down such efforts. 
According to a U.S. intelligence source quoted by The New York Times, the prison in Poland was the most important of the CIA’s black sites, where terror suspects were subjected to interrogation techniques that would not be legal in the United States. The source claimed that Poland was picked mostly because “Polish intelligence officials were eager to cooperate.”
