This. This is what worries me more than anything. Where have these 300 people gone? There should be records, trials, something. 300 suspected terrorists going on trial over a period of 5 years should have resulted in huge wave of almost 24/7 publicity.

That the NSA is in the business of total surveillance is bad enough. But there is the faint hint that the NSA is in the business of making people disappear.

Black sites are still there. Black sites with dubious givernments do the disappearances for the CIA, wihout them getting their hands dirty unless they have to.

There's news about terrorist plots being foiled all the time. Why are you assuming there's no overlap? It's quite common in terrorist trials for some of the evidence to be sealed from the public (this isn't unconstitutional, as long as the defense gets to look at it).
