Documents show US had secret prison in Thailand: THE US had a secret prison in Thailand that suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists were sent to and tortured by 'waterboarding'.
In 'waterboarding', a detainee is strapped to a board, dunked under water and made to believe he might be drowned.
US Federal prosecutors revealed the details in documents submitted to a court in New York as part of a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit brought by the American Civil Liberties Union, reported the Bangkok Post.
They also said 92 videotapes made and stored in Thailand of the questionable interrogation techniques had been personally ordered to be destroyed by the then head of the CIA, Mr Jose Rodriguez Jr.
