Torture, American Style

By BOB HERBERT

Maher Arar is a 34-year-old native of Syria who emigrated to Canada as a
teenager. On Sept. 26, 2002, as he was returning from a family vacation in
Tunisia, he was seized by American authorities at Kennedy Airport in New
York, where he was in the process of changing planes.

Mr. Arar, a Canadian citizen, was not charged with a crime. But, as Jane
Mayer tells us in a compelling and deeply disturbing article in the current
issue of The New Yorker, he "was placed in handcuffs and leg irons by
plainclothes officials and transferred to an executive jet."

In an instant, Mr. Arar was swept into an increasingly common nightmare,
courtesy of the United States of America. The plane that took off with him
from Kennedy "flew to Washington, continued to Portland, Maine, stopped in
Rome, Italy, then landed in Amman, Jordan."

Any rights Mr. Arar might have thought he had, either as a Canadian citizen
or a human being, had been left behind. At times during the trip, Mr. Arar
heard the pilots and crew identify themselves in radio communications as
members of "the Special Removal Unit." He was being taken, on the orders of
the U.S. government, to Syria, where he would be tortured.

The title of Ms. Mayer's article is "Outsourcing Torture." It's a detailed
account of the frightening and extremely secretive U.S. program known as
"extraordinary rendition."

This is one of the great euphemisms of our time. Extraordinary rendition is
the name that's been given to the policy of seizing individuals without even
the semblance of due process and sending them off to be interrogated by
regimes known to practice torture. In terms of bad behavior, it stands side
by side with contract killings.

Our henchmen in places like Syria, Egypt, Morocco, Uzbekistan and Jordan are
torturing terror suspects at the behest of a nation - the United States -
that just went through a national election in which the issue of moral
values was supposed to have been decisive. How in the world did we become a
country in which gays' getting married is considered an abomination, but
torture is O.K.?

As Ms. Mayer pointed out: "Terrorism suspects in Europe, Africa, Asia and
the Middle East have often been abducted by hooded or masked American
agents, then forced onto a Gulfstream V jet, like the one described by Arar.
... Upon arriving in foreign countries, rendered suspects often vanish.
Detainees are not provided with lawyers, and many families are not informed
of their whereabouts."

Mr. Arar was seized because his name had turned up on a watch list of terror
suspects. He was reported to have been a co-worker of a man in Canada whose
brother was a suspected terrorist.

"Although he initially tried to assert his innocence, he eventually
confessed to anything his tormentors wanted him to say," Ms. Mayer wrote.

The confession under torture was worthless. Syrian officials reported back
to the United States that they could find no links between Mr. Arar and
terrorism. He was released in October 2003 without ever being charged and is
now back in Canada.

Barbara Olshansky is the assistant legal director of the Center for
Constitutional Rights, which is representing Mr. Arar in a lawsuit against
the U.S. I asked her to describe Mr. Arar's physical and emotional state
following his release from custody.

She sounded shaken by the memory. "He's not a big guy," she said. "He had
lost more than 40 pounds. His pallor was terrible, and his eyes were sunken.
He looked like someone who was kind of dead inside."

Any government that commits, condones, promotes or fosters torture is a
malignant force in the world. And those who refuse to raise their voices
against something as clearly evil as torture are enablers, if not
collaborators.

There is a widespread but mistaken notion in the U.S. that everybody seized
by the government in its so-called war on terror is in fact somehow
connected to terrorist activity. That is just wildly wrong.

Tony Blair knows a little about that sort of thing. Just two days ago the
British prime minister formally apologized to 11 people who were wrongfully
convicted and imprisoned for bombings in England by the Irish Republican
Army three decades ago.

Jettisoning the rule of law to permit such acts of evil as kidnapping and
torture is not a defensible policy for a civilized nation. It's wrong. And
nothing good can come from it.

Indeed. Was this not also Churchill's point in another context?

Absolutely correct. The Seppoes are very keen for an authoritarian
regime and good luck to them, but only if they stay in their own country
so the rest of us know to stay away. Fucking wankers.

Hooding? Ow mah gawd. Real Marquis de Sade kinda stuff here, Cosmo.
Perhaps the PRISONERS should be afforded all of the luxuries fit for a
king... no... wait... dictator... yeah... that's the ticket. Give them
what Sadaam Hussein took from them. Hooding? Chicken Shit. You DO

And we all know, once YOU say something, that's the definitive word.
Don't take yourself so seriously Earl... we don't. Oh, but wait a minute.
I might be all alone here. OK. I don't.

Have you ever been to a maximum security prison? I have. Not a pretty
place. Ya really don't want these sick bastards EVER to get out. These
Yo's really need torture. Since they don't get it they get to act like
the animals they are.

Poor Barry. Didn't miss much. I heard it was Interstate highway most of

Oh, it's true, all right. And quite disgusting. While the U.S. is not
accused of actually committing that torture, the idea of sending him
to Syria seems grotesque to me, since he held a valid Canadian
passport, and could have simply been put on a plane to Canada if
deportation was seen necessary, thus allowing Canada to deal with
him if they wished to do so. These are the kinds of instances that
give fodder to those who would argue it is endemic to U.S. responses
since 9/11.

This is not a NEW revelation, John... Do a search on Arar and torture,
and see the results. 25,300 hits, dating back at least to Nov 2003.
It happened on Sep 26, 2002. And he was held in Syria for 10 months
before being released to return to Canada. While there is strong
evidence of complicity from Canadian authorities in respect to what
took place. This in no way excuses ANYONE involved in this. See --

Some take torture seriously, apparently others do too.

Which route are you talking about? It is not an "interstate", no such
road types exists in France, we have autoroutes, nationals and
departmentals.

The route from Clairvaux into the the Parisian region is A5 for about
2 hours, another hour to Fresnes, south of Paris. The A5 route is
pretty, although less so in the winter with most of the trees without
leaves. However, unlike the northern regions of the US, Northern France
has green ground cover. Along A5 one sees a number of birds, including
hawks and crows. it is not devoid of visual interest.

From the Clairvaux prison cells one can see the surrounding forested
country side. From an American supermax, no windows give a view of the sky
or the surroundings. Total isolation. All lighting is artificial Even
the American supermax exercise yards are covered.

Clairvaux is one of the two top high security prisons in France. There
are no supermax facilities in France. I don`t no of any in Europe.
Why Is that?

Perhaps you can try and make a funny statement about that? Ha Ha??

Barry was in a maximum security prison, one of the three in France. We
visited him there every two weeks for six years. In the visiting room
everyone was together, all the prisoners, all the visitors, no glass walls
between prisoners and visitors. We never met anybody who looked like he
needed torture (please describe these for me, so I will recognize them the
next time I am in a prison visiting room). There were, however, a number of
babies conceived in the visiting room. Maybe maximum security prisons in
France are different. I don't know. You tell me about your experience so I
can relate.

Atlanta Federal Penetentiary
Atlanta, Georgia

I went INTO lockup, not some comfy VISITING room laid out with sofas and
chairs and pastel painted walls. It was 1978, almost thirty f_cking years
ago and the prisoners THEN acted as if they were in Africa swinging from
tree to tree with what little room they had. I cannot, for the life of
me, imagine what that hell hole is like today. If it IS any worse, THAT
is my reasoning for some sort or mild form of torture. I think our
society is owed that kind of justice, for there are psychopaths living in
this country going unchecked and treated as though their crimes were as
insignificant as Jaywalking. Some cry out that we "are a civilized
society" and we shouldn't bring ourselves to the level of the criminal by
harming "him" in any way. That's EXACTLY why our countries are in the
shape they are. "We" coddle the criminal as if what he did or who he is,
is not necessarily "his" fault. BULLSHIT!

So tell us exactly what you saw in 1978. Details, please, details. While
waiting, let me tell you that you have told us little about the prisoners
you saw, but a lot about yourself.

You tell us that in 1978, the prisoners "THEN acted as if they were in
Africa swinging from tree to tree with what little room they had." This
comment could be construed by some as racist.

You think our society is owed some "mild form of torture." Nobody is owed
torture. Period. End of report. People who believe this are sticking a
knife right into the heart of democratic rule of law. Democracy and the
rule of law are what make our society great. Torture is not.

Your use of the term "coddling criminals" tells me about your right-wing
political opinions. I'm surprised you didn't come up with the usual whine
about prisoners having TV.

One final word. It would have been really nice if the visiting room at
Clairvaux had had sofas. The chairs were plastic, sometimes cracked, and
the walls, albeit once painted pastel, were peeling.

We have left the maximum security prison now, but are still visiting the
prisoner. Our current visiting conditions are in "comfy" cubicles, supplied
with backless stools, and although the rules allow for three visitors during
any one 45 minute visiting period, there is room for just two people, and
even that is very tight. No sofas, no chairs, no pastel paint (off-white,
very off-white). But this place, where we already visited six years ago,
has made a major improvement. There is now light in the visiting booths.

But do tell us about the details of your visit(s) to lockup in 1978. All
the gory details.

Let's not mince words, Donna - it _was_ racist. Sweet Jebus, you are

It's so hilarious to see how brain washed your people are. Watched any
good movies lately... perhaps Deliverance? Maybe TV is your bag. Any
Dukes of Hazzard fans out there? Puhleaze. Mindless dweeeb. Get a mind of

That's fucking well torn it.

In addition to Mr Q. (who is exactly as you say, Alley), may I
introduce you to Exador, who is another well known liberal.

These two gentlemen (well, boys they are actually), I am sure will be
delighted to engage in intercourse with you. In fact, I suspect that
they would be willing to engage in intercourse with anybody.

Just to give you a small insight into their respective backgrounds I
have to say that both of them are failed Labour voters.
Now do you see what I mean? Need I say any more? Can you believe it?
With that sort of history hanging over their heads, can we blame them
for being insipid, flaccid, self-hating, low self esteem liberals? Yes
of course we can....and I want to hear you do it to them.

Any way I just wanted to say that I agree with you and I think that
both of these gentlemen deserve a right royal seeing-to, and I think
you are just the gel to do it to them. After you play with them for a
while and give them the public thrashing they so clearly deserve, I
have a few more of similar bent that I can introduce you to. These
vermin infect our European chapter and go by the names of Rennie,
Coughlan and dirtdog. Rabid liberals they are and they need someone
strong to stand up to them, and to explain to them the error of their
ways.

By the way, I have switched on the special privacy feature or cloaking

Are you aware of why you are "[attacked]...on a personal level" by "most
libs"?

It is, purely and simply, because you offer nothing by way of argument
and are just a plaything.

Being a nobody is difficult to accept. The rest of us managed it a
while ago. I suggest that you try to do the same.

In this statement I was being very facetious. She HAS attacked me, but I
am not complaining, really.

I do have very much to offer. I had a brother that was murdered back in
1993. I DO have an opinion on the death penalty. Most of what I was
acting the troll on, was off-topic items.

I am not a nobody, and I'm not saying that with righteous indignation. I
really AM somebody. Of course it would be asinine to reveal myself. I may
have given myself no chance of any form of dialog with anyone here, but
that is my problem... I can accept that.

No you are not. You are a nobody, just like the rest of us.

Asinine it may be but that would not be at odds with your current

Starting out as a nutty troll certainly isn't the best way to show oneself as
having a glimmer of intelligence. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and
remove you from my killfile but if you're only out to troll, don't expect 'any
form of dialog' from me.

In any case trying to be 'somebody' while posting anonymously is plainly and
simply ridiculous. It's bad enough trying to be somebody as is much less if
you're just one anonymous screen name amongst all the others.
