Please everybody, no apoligies! I had no right to say what I did. This is a very sensitive issue with me, with roots from the sixties. Curtis had every right to say what he did. It hit me wrong and I reacted wrong.

When will it ever end? Peace is such a beautiful word. But i guess war is easier to spell and say.

you all have a great day!

Citizen Spies, Brutal Torture Foreshadow the Domestic War on Terror

An innocent European, who was sold to U.S. military by a citizen spy, spent nearly five years in Guantanamo Bay prison without charges exposes the brutality of torture.  With the DHS anti-terror apparatus now turned inward, do American citizens face the same treatment?

Martin Luther King Jr. wisely proclaimed “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.” Murat Kurnaz, a German-born Turkish citizen, describes in the video below his chilling story of torture under United States custody.  Kurnaz was rounded up in Pakistan at the height of the U.S. invasion of Afghanistan in 2001 when locals sold him to the U.S. military for $3000, the bounty paid to citizen spies for “terror suspects.”  With the Department of Homeland Security ramping up its own citizen spy program, can we expect the same treatment in America?

Working for a peaceful NGO, Kurnaz was detained on his way to return home to Germany.  Over the next five years he was repeatedly tortured by the United States with no charges ever filed. According to Amnesty USA, “his 2006 release was prompted by a personal plea by German Chancellor Angela Merkel to President George W. Bush even though official documents show that U.S. and German authorities had determined in 2002 that he was innocent.”

Murat’s story echoes that of other released Guantanamo detainees, and verifies that events that took place in Abu Ghraib were definitely not an isolated case. How many more cases of criminal torture must Americans hear before they dem

Chuck, there's many of us that do care. Unfortuantely with so many vids, blogs, discussions, ect being posted on a daily basis it's hard for anybody to keep up with. It may very well be that many members didn't get a chance to view the vid.

 

This mans story needs to be heard just as many other detainees in these torture camps stories need to be heard. You won't hear these stories on the MSM though. I think if more Americans heard these horrific stories they're would be much more protest against Obama, his current administration and Congress. Nothing will ever change when people are shielded from the horrors of war. Unless you dig for the truth on the internet, most Americans will never really know what's going on. It's a damn shame.

The man spent years in u.s torture prisons, an innocent man, enduring pain that would probably kill most of us. He seen people tortured to death in front of him and i know he probaly felt today would be his turn to die every day of his confinement.
