35,000 in Secret Prisons

We knew the number was in the thousands (14,000?), but this latest indication is surely shocking.
I’m at the Center for American Progress, listening to Sid Blumenthal and Glenn Greenwald talk about the Imperial Presidency, and one thing is important enough for me to want to live blog. Sid says that Wilkerson, Powell’s old chief of staff, believes that the correct number of victims in secret Bush prisons is 35,000, only %5 of which “may” have to do with terrorism. More than twice what I thought, and hardly any to do with the “war on terror.”Wake up America, it’s getting closer.

I wonder how much is this indication reliable.
Lately, I’ve been a bit unwilling to belive to anything I can’t prove with somehow solid data/sources.
Is just too easy for some hard core US lover friends of mine to label such claims as false, and i can’t argue with that.
Such data and such claims can be considered and belived just by who already think things that way, while for people that thinks “the other way” it just taint -your- reliability, as you appear just as one who belives every bullshit he likes.
In the short time available I had, I searched for further informations and found nothing, so this may actually be just liberal propaganda.
Even if we’re inclined to belive it, it doesn’t mean it’s true.
