What was the CIA's first secret prison after 9/11 and what happened there?

The CIA established their first secret prison in Thailand, where Abu Zubaydah was secretly detained for nine months. During this time, the CIA used its expanded authority to torture him in an effort to extract information they believed would help them catch more terrorists. The Thai government officials eventually became uncomfortable with the CIA's activities in their country as they learned more about the program. Media outlets also began investigating, prompting Vice President Dick Cheney to personally intervene and try to convince American news outlets not to publish details about the operation.
