CIA 'tortured and sodomised' terror suspect, human rights court rules
Landmark European court of human rights judgment says CIA tortured wrongly detained German citizen.



The US suffered a significant legal rebuff on Thursday after its use of "extraordinary rendition" and interrogations in CIA black jails was condemned as "torture" in a landmark ruling by the European Court of Human Rights in Strasbourg.

The ruling came in the case a German-Lebanese car salesman who was seeking compensation after being the victim of a mistaken "extraordinary rendition" in 2003 at the height of the CIA's campaign of abductions and interrogations after the September 11 attacks.

It was hailed by civil rights groups as an "historic ruling" that would serve as a warning to European governments and put renewed pressure on the United States to acknowledge it had committed torture in its policy of 'rendition'.

Ben Emmerson, the UN special rapporteur on human rights and counter-terrorism, described the 92-page judgment as a "key milestone" in the struggle to secure accountability for "human rights violations committed by the Bush administration."

The 17-member panel in Strasbourg found that Mr Masri's account had been established "beyond reasonable doubt", ruling that he had suffered both torture and inhumane and degrading treatment at the hands of the CIA and the Macedonia border guards.
The court heard that on Jan 23, 2004 Mr Masri was handcuffed, blindfolded and taken to Macedonia's Skopje airport where he was handed over to the CIA.

He was "beaten severely" by masked men, stripped, "sodomised with an object" and placed in a "nappy" before being "forcibly tranquilised" and chained to the floor of a CIA-chartered Boeing-737 which flew him to Afghanistan.

"This is a country that prides itself in being a leader in the field of human rights and the rule of law and this is a judgment that unequivocally demonstrates that United States' moral standing in the world is severely diminished," she added.

No shit.



Perfectly paralleling the thought process of all Conks everywhere.

Thanks for the embarrassment, Conks.

What would the world do without this European Court of Human RIghts?

Human rights farce after Euro judges award £6,000 payout to victim of playground fight over a football in Croatia TEN YEARS AGO

Croatian playground row dates back to 2003 when the victim was 13-years-old
Croatian courts dropped the case but it was taken up by Court of Human Rights
Court ruled his rights were breached when another boy's father snatched the ball from him

Wait, this will put pressure on us to admit that we tortured people? Seriously, who doesn't know that we did torture people? Heck, we even knew who was water boarded.

On the bright side, that new "Zero Dark Thirty" movie says that "enhanced interrogation techniques" helped us to get to and kill Bin Laden. I trust the movies - if they say we need to do it then how can we doubt that??

Frontrunner for deflection of the year.

Human rights violations stopped the minute Obama got into office.

We haven't killed a single child or innocent person under Obama's watch.

We haven't given hundreds of millions of dollars to support any corrupt leaders under Obama's watch.

We haven't provided any arms or training to any govenrment that tortures or oppresses its people under Obama's watch.

We haven't violated any country's sovereignty under Obama's watch.

We haven't kept any prisoners in Gitmo under Obama's watch.

We haven't helped topple any governments under Obama's watch.

We haven't had a single incident of one of our servicemen do anything bad under Obama's watch.

We haven't killed over 1,500 of our troops, including Staff Sgt. Wesley R. Williams yesterday, in Afghanistan under Obama's watch.

We haven't restricted our freedoms under Obama's watch.

We do not have our troops engaged in any clandestine operations under Obama's watch.

We haven't watched Egypt's hard line Muslins take control and repress the rights of women and minorities, or form rape gangs, under Obama's watch.

Everything is good, prosperous, and transparent under Obama.

Change, indeed.

No, it's an accurate representation of how much of a farce this "Court of Human Rights" is.

Not sure what's funnier...the court itself, or watching you trying to convince yourself that it's legitimate.

Nope. Big deflection and you're doing it now. The U.S. can never be wrong to you assholes. It's in decline because of Conks. Plain and simple.

Hoagie,
I post so little because, when I see your username, I can't help but think of you banging your daughter-in-law behind your son's back. It just sickens me. WTF is wrong with you?

Whereas this is not acceptable it isn't the first, second or last time it will ever happen. This has occurred under Whig, Democrat and Republican administrations.

No doubt, Mark.

However, my goal is simply to smack around Conks over that Reagan cocksucker they worship. Bush is unabashedly a child of Reagan, like Cheney, like Rummy, like Limbaugh, like Rovey, like Hannity...... History will prove that both were two of the worst world leaders ever to disgrace the doorsteps at 1600 Pennsylvania.

AND, have them know that this newly re-elected President is directing America, whose reputation is still taking a beating due to Conkunism, into a sharp turn away from such messiness.

Fucking lone wolf process-disrespectin'-ass cowboy yahoos, all of them.

Do you really find it THAT hard to believe that something like this happened on Bush's watch? I sure as hell don't.

Whatever happened to that Green kraut, Petra Kelly, anyway? Is she now all fat and bloated from too much knockwurst and Oktoberfests? Probably a spokeswoman for the European Court.

Edit: Never mind. She died 20 years ago.

Or maybe she morphed into Angela Merkel.

Hey, remember one thing about The Cap'n. There ain't anyone he hates or even dislikes on the board. I take my share of hits from the mob here, usually with a smile.

I'm just getting mouthier as I get crabby and old.

You're getting old and soft. You've lost your canines and are just gumming at everyone these days.














dback just perked up at that idea.

And, I'm under heavy influence of immense painkillers and anti-inflammatories today. Upper back spasms busting my balls.

Your back might stop hurting so much if you'd finally get that breast reduction.
