CRI听力：CIA Chief: Fewer Than 100 Detained at Secret Facilities Abroad

CIA director Michael Hayden has firmly defended his agency's program to detain terror suspects at secret facilities abroad.
Hayden told the Council on Foreign Relations in New York City on Friday that the CIA had detained fewer than 100 people at secret facilities abroad, also denying claims by the European Parliament that a substantial number of flights were rendition ones.

"A European Parliament temporary committee has claimed that, and I'm quoting now, 'at least 1,245 flights operated by the CIA flew into European air space or stopped over at European airports between the end of 2001 and the end of 2005.' And the report said so in a context that implied that many of, even most of these, were rendition flights. The actual number of rendition flights ever flown by CIA is a tiny fraction of that."

Reports say CIA has been setting up secret facilities in Europe and Southeast Asia to detain and interrogate terror suspects ever since 2002. Many countries, including many European allies of the US, have accused CIA for such deed.
