A suit was filed Tuesday in the United States on behalf of a German man who alleges he was kidnapped and tortured by U.S. agents for five months in 2004. The suit charges the man was mistakenly suspected of being an associate of the 9/11 hijackers.
Khaled Masri, a 42-year-old man of Lebanese decent, claims that he was taken on New Year's Eve 2003 by CIA operatives from his vacation in Macedonia to a prison in Afghanistan.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
wow congratulations. 7 words to show your IQ an that issue?
You'll learn the truth in time. Hopefully it won't take a catastrophic attack, but I won't be surprised when it does.
I won't be surprised when a second attack doesn't change some.

Has your posting something to do with the case al-masri?
Not specifically.
It has to do with the unbelievable ignorance or complete denial that some people exhibit.
It seems to me that if some don't like the facts, they simply ignore them or try to rewrite history.
Anyone know why the ACLU is stepping in on behalf of a non US citizen? Well I know the answer but want to hear it again.
You´re damn-d right, Liberty! Guilt is proven by court, not innocence. And as far as I´m concerned, if this guy was an American citizen, being "kidnapped" by German Intel, I would already see the "nuke-them"-posts around here. Even with an Arabic name. The CIA has found out after 4 months (!!!) (some of them in Kabul!!!) that Khaled el-Masri is innocent - that´s why they released him. If he actually had connections to terrorists, I would have had some understanding for this. But under the given circumstances this is a very well reason for the outrage in Germany.

Aha?!
whatever you want to tell me?!
Allegations don't prove guilt.
Does this mean that all the "illegal combatants" who never been brought to a legal court until this day are not guilty?
