I am not a state secret Having just lost in court, a CIA kidnap victim asks why the U.S. won't admit its error. By Khaled El-Masri, KHALED EL-MASRI, a German citizen born in Lebanon, was a car salesman before he was detained in December 2003. March 3, 2007

ON NEW YEAR'S EVE in 2003, I was seized at the border of Serbia and Macedonia by Macedonian police who mistakenly believed that I was traveling on a false German passport. I was detained incommunicado for more than three weeks. Then I was handed over to the American Central Intelligence Agency and was stripped, severely beaten, shackled, dressed in a diaper, injected with drugs, chained to the floor of a plane and flown to Afghanistan, where I was imprisoned in a foul dungeon for more than four months.

Long after the American government realized that I was an entirely innocent man, I was blindfolded, put back on a plane, flown to Europe and left on a hilltop in Albania — without any explanation or apology for the nightmare that I had endured.

Why the slap on the wrist? Put this friendly son of Muhammed in a cell next to Ramos or Compeán and call me in 10 years.

Take your pick. This same tired story has been floating around forever. Over 50K entries and not one that seems to back Khaleed's version of events. I would suggest that you start from the day he left his family. He has zero backup for his claims.

In December 2005, with the help of the American Civil Liberties Union, I sued former CIA Director George Tenet along with other CIA agents and contractors for their roles in my kidnapping, mistreatment and arbitrary detention. Above all, what I want from the lawsuit is a public acknowledgment from the U.S. government that I was innocent, a mistaken victim of its rendition program, and an apology for what I was forced to endure.

YOU'RE A MACEDONIAN!! You have no standing in a US Court. Your assertion is all the proof that your American Terrorist's Liberties Union (ATLU) lawyers have to back your claim.

Wait...sniff, sniff. Let me get a tissue. Will you accept the apology of an American taxpayer? Okay. Too bad, so sad. Have a nice life Maccaca.

There is no proof that America did anything wrong... only the word of a muzzie... and they cannot exactly be considered a "truthful" source, when their religion is based on satan worship.

AMEN!

[LibLieSlayer]

Was there anything in there about him (the practitioner of the religion of peace... or pieces) being beheaded with a dull butcher's knife (like muzzies do to our innocents)? If not... screw him!

"...dressed in a diaper..."

Former astronaut?

They were just testing him to see if he qualified for the space program.

[Rummenigge]

... and conveniently enough there will be no examination of this case because it would reveal "state secrets".

The koran must actually mean "lie to the infidels" in English.
