Outlawed: Extraordinary Rendition in the War on Terror
Loading...
Uploaded by Witness on Feb 23, 2009
From http://www.witness.org | This video was produced by WITNESS and 15 other human rights organizations. "Extraordinary rendition" is a term few people had ever heard before the events of 9/11. It refers to the practice of abducting foreign nationals for interrogation and detention in secret overseas prisons, often in countries which are notorious for torturing prisoners.
"Outlawed" lifts the veil on rendition through the harrowing stories of two men: Khaled El-Masri, a German citizen on vacation who was seized on vacation and held for seventeen months in Macedonia and Afghanistan before being released; and Binyam Mohamed, an Ethiopian national and UK resident who was released from Guantanamo February 22, 2009.

It amazes me that the US media assumes that waterboarding is the worst form of American torture that has gone unpunished.
Even the barbarism described here is outdone by the uninvestigated homicides in detention.
In retrospect, the outrage following the Abu Ghraib revelations is more surprising than the crimes.

what some people will do for the sake of defense and 'for the good of the people' is clearly sick and beyond wrong.
they should be put on trial for war crimes.
