Greystone or GREYSTONE (abbreviation: GST) is the former secret codeword of a Sensitive Compartmented Information compartment containing information about rendition, interrogation and counter-terrorism programs of the CIA.[1] These operations that began shortly after the September 11 Attacks. It covers covert actions in the Middle East that include pre-military operations in Afghanistan and drone attacks.[2]
The abbreviation GST was first revealed in December 2005, in a Washington Post-article by Dana Priest, which says that GST includes programs for capturing suspected Al-Qaeda terrorists, for transporting them with aircraft, for maintaining secret prisons in various foreign countries and for the use of special interrogation methods which are held illegal by many lawyers.[3] In 2009, the GST-abbreviation was accidentally confirmed in a declassified document written by the Justice Department's Office of Legal Counsel in 2004.[4]
The full codeword was revealed in the 2013 book Deep State, Inside the Government Secrecy Industry by Marc Ambinder and D.B. Grady. It says that the GREYSTONE compartment contains more than a dozen sub-compartments, which are identified by numbers (shown like GST-001). This makes sure that these sub-programs are only known to those people who are directly involved.[5] (Greystone (CIA operation), engl. Wikipedia)

Die Dokumentation von "Frontline" basiert auf zweijährigen Recherchen der Washington Post.
Die streng geheime Welt der US-Regierung, die als Reaktion auf die Terroranschläge vom 11. September 2001 geschaffen wurde, ist mittlerweile so groß, so schwerfällig und so geheimnisvoll, dass niemand weiß, wie viel Geld sie kostet, wie viele Menschen sie beschäftigt, wie viele Programme bestehen und wie viele Behörden die gleiche Arbeit tun.
