New details have emerged on the imprisonment and rendition of foreign terror suspects under the Bush administration. The Associated Press reports the CIA brought four key prisoners to Guantánamo Bay earlier than previously thought and then returned them to overseas prisons to avoid the prospect of their receiving a legal defense and recounting their ordeal in US custody. The four arrived at Guantánamo Bay in September 2003 after being collected from secret prisons abroad. But the suspects were sent back to secret prisons overseas in March 2004 — just weeks after the Supreme Court announced it would begin hearing oral arguments in a case challenging Guantánamo detentions.
