Overhead imagery of a CIA Field Station north of Kabul, Afghanistan
helped illustrate and draw international attention to a secret CIA
program known as "extraordinary rendition." In this program,
battlefield combatants were interrogated and later transported to
countries where interrogation methods were harsher than those
permitted under U.S. law. This CIA station was located only after
the general description of the facility's location was "leaked" by a
knowledgeable insider in the U.S. intelligence community.
