no he is not, that's the thing. And I reject the idea that torture is ok if it is only one guy. Torture is torture. What about the people they waterboared? Is that ok because they only admit to doing it to three people? Note, we only know about Kahtani because someone leaked the logs. We only know about Khadr because he is a child and a Canadian citizen. What about Maher Arar? Again, we only know about him because he is a citizen of Canada and his wife was smart enough and determined enough to shame the Canadian governement into acting. Had he been a poor Afghani or Yemeni he could easily have died or still be molding to death in prison.
Again those are only the cases I know about. According to this article there are many more. No, it is not just one guy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extraordinary_rendition On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 8:20 PM, Robert Munn <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 6:25 PM, Dana wrote: >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Omar_Khadr >> >> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mohamed_al-Kahtani >> http://www.nytimes.com/2005/06/21/opinion/21lewis.html > > Khadr is a weird case.
