Khalid al-Masri, CIA Extraordinary Rendition, Wrongful Detention
A newly released internal report confirms the CIA wrongfully imprisoned and tortured German citizen Khalid al-Masri in a secret Afghan prison. Despite realizing he was not the suspect they sought within three months, the agency held him for several more months before dumping him in Albania.
Maher Arar Case, Extraordinary Rendition
The case of Maher Arar, a Canadian citizen seized by the CIA at JFK airport and rendered to Syria for torture, is highlighted as a failure of the "enhanced interrogation" program. Arar was held for ten months and subjected to physical abuse with electrical cables before being cleared of all terror suspicions. The story serves as a reminder of the human cost of post-9/11 security protocols.
