The aim here was to identify and analyze the political rationale behind the persistent veil of secrecy maintained by the Polish political elite with regard to CIA-run prisons located on Polish territory between 2002 and 2004, in the context of the US-led extraordinary rendition program. To do this, the author offers a brief chronological overview of relevant events, before analyzing the factors contributing to the secrecy surrounding Poland’s participation in the CIA “black sites.” This article argues that raison d’état constituted the supreme, and most uncompromising, political justification for the action taken, endorsed by the Polish political elite. Moreover, the paper examines official statements from the Polish authorities and presents conclusions from recent in-depth interviews given by key political decision-makers who were in office at the time the events took place.

这里的目的是在美国领导的特别引渡计划的背景下，确定和分析波兰政治精英在 2002 年至 2004 年间对位于波兰领土上的中央情报局管理的监狱持续保密的政治原因。 . 为此，作者提供了相关事件的简要时间顺序概述，然后分析导致围绕波兰参与中央情报局“黑场”保密的因素。这篇文章认为，存在的理由为所采取的行动构成了最高、最不妥协的政治理由，得到了波兰政治精英的认可。此外，该论文还审查了波兰当局的官方声明，并提出了最近对事件发生时在任的主要政治决策者进行的深入采访的结论。
