Abu Zubaydah Was Tortured for Years at CIA Black Sites. Biden Is Trying to Keep the Abuse Secret.
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2024
- The Supreme Court heard oral arguments Wednesday in a case brought by Abu Zubaydah, the Guantánamo prisoner who was the first subject of the CIA’s torture program. Zubaydah’s legal team has spent years trying to obtain testimony from two psychologists who helped the CIA design and implement his torture, and the Biden administration is continuing the Trump’s administration strategy to keep key information about Zubaydah’s torture in Poland classified despite the fact that the two psychologists are willing to testify. Several justices contradicted the Biden administration, suggesting Zubaydah, the only witness besides the psychologists to the torture in Poland, testify himself, and expressing frustration that Zubaydah is still being held incommunicado at Guantánamo. We speak with Abu Zubaydah’s attorney, Joe Margulies, and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Raymond Bonner, who has long followed the case. “The legal justification for continuing to hold [Guantánamo detainees] has disappeared,” says Bonner.

Of course this doesn't count human rights violations, right USA ?
No, only Miami Cubans that worked for the mob in Havana.
Offcourse not because USA torture and kill with hart full of love and compassion ask the millions of peoples tortured and killed by USA around the globe since 1502.
@@malalabahadir838 America wasent even a country then not till 1776. When we declared independence from Britain. I'm pretty sure almost every country in history killed a bunch of people from another country so don't go trying to say only Americans ever killed or tortured or whatever other horrible things humans have been doing to each other since the first human took a stick and beat another human to death over a resource.if you hate America so much you make up stories that show everyone how stupid you are because a child would know you are an idiot. Why don't you just divert your attention to something else like watch some football or perhaps some porno or something I bet you like American women in porn don't ya. Yeah like to throw stones at them because they dare to uncover their faces.
@@malalabahadir838 you went super stupid there
Nope as it was another countries citizen Pakistan sold him out for 10 million and CIA got wrong information
This is the real face of American Foreign policy.
Sometimes you gotta what you gotta do, and don't worry, other countries are worse.
It has been for decades. The CIA had torture centers in Chile, Argentina, Paraguay, El Salvador, Guatemala, and Honduras. The fact that we are doing it in the open ourselves is not surprising.

As disgusting and painful as this is to learn- the insanity (doing the same thing- torture- over & over, expecting a different result) needs to come out. I'm embarrassed & ashamed to pay taxes that go to this kind of despicable behavior. Abu needs Justice. Let Abu Speak!

@@peacepeace5788 So why didn't Obama direct his justice department to look into any charges at all. They probably could've got indictments just for lying under oath if they sought any kind of justice. Just like they did with Trump's sycophants. And that was with Trump in office. Obama stated we should all look forward, not backwards concerning the 2008 housing crisis. I'm sure he felt the same about the torture regime.

Wait? The CIA gets to determine whether a prisoner's statements can even be heard by a court?
Thank you for reporting 🍀
i hate listening to how the court throws around legaleese while this man continues to be held and tortured by USA in Poland. I hate it and we Americans need to demand more from our government. This is making me physically ill.
He's being held at Gitmo now.
Me too Mr.Bill Binnie,Kr Wiebe,and Edward Snowden and so many others has been trying to stop these torture programs right here in the US sense 911and and you think the government is listen to them NO PEOPLE

All the justices recognize that this is "torture" yet won't do jack to stop it.

@@danielhopkins296 As a lawyer I stopped pretending that SCOTUS was anything other than a mechanism for stopping the democratic process.

Breyer was utterly disingenuous and seemed to want to scapegoat the victim ( and denigrate his attorney). Appalling.
Abu Zubaydah must be the toughest man on planet earth to survive all this.
God has chosen him...this reminds me of prophet Joseph story😥
It would be a shame if he never gets out at this point. The guy is a survivor, if anything.
The news around the world should be talking what happened to this guy and I mean talking truth and fiction until he is released from prison.
Also, the fact that "Gina Haspel," former CIA Director was involved makes the entire case questionable.
That will never happen, that involves admition
That is dangerous news to Americans overseas. Many Americans have no idea of those programs. Just because we have a group of psychopaths controlling that area doesn't mean everyone should be placed in the spot.
Very, very sick how an innocent person was tortured and now held because they don't want him to tell the truth about being tortured. So sick and disgusting.
hes not innocent but what was done to him was not legal and not moral or ethical
Sick. Now that the Supreme Court knows what's happening are they going to do anything?
Nope they're not control because they are wicked evil people
They already knew. They already keep looking away.
Well they knew of the corruption involved in the 2020 election and choose to do nothing. Why? Because of fear of riots, cowardice.
They are not human. May God destroy them completely from the surface of earth. Amiin.
That judge was trying to blame the lawyer
It's mindblowing how the judges feign ignorance of the situation. It's the greatest issue for due process of the modern era.
Just so heartbreaking and sickening and the hypcorisy of us government is insane!
US Government doesn't want us to know he was tortured at a black site in Poland. However, the ex-president of Poland publicly confirmed this. A true clown show, as usual in the US these days.
This proves U.S. Justice means ABSOLUTELY NOTHING.
Invite Abu Zaboo to come live with you when he is freed. Surly you have some space spare.
The war criminals & torturers need to be brought to justice and hopefully jailed for life - if only America wasn't so corrupt and actually adhered to basic human rights. Totally disgusting to torture & imprison somebody for so long who has never been charged with any crime or had any due process, and Zubaydah's & his lawyer has to get approval from his torturers (the CIA) to speak - what about free speech America?

I'm thoroughly ashamed & disgusted. I do NOT want any of my tax dollars aiding & abetting this type of disgusting behavior towards a human being without giving them justice. No wonder countries hate us.
Well I can be disgusted with our gov. but I can't feel any shame. It's not my doing. I don't vote for these politicians, I'd never 'pick a lesser of two evils'. I don't pay taxes, I let the gov. pay me until TSHTF. It's not going to last.
And I'm all set for the crash. My goat has been milking for 6 years without being freshened.
I've been watching the whole movie for 50 years. We were warned. In 71' I was one of those.."Hell No! we won't go." Kill women and babies in another country. They did nothing to me.

While there are many things I like about America, there are also a lot of things I loathe about America. The fact that this man was brutality tortured and held prisoner for over fourteen years of his life the antithesis of truth and justice. If America can't practice what it preaches, then America has no business preaching about human rights violations to any other country.
He was apprehended in late 2001 or early 2002. It has been 20 years since he was taken. 14 years since the habeaus was filed.
@@The_Opinion_of_Matt I stand corrected. Fourteen years will be more time than any of those involved in the attempted Coup will receive.

That's not quite right. Everyone has the right to speak up about human rights violations at any time, even hypocritically. All human rights violations are bad by default.
@@havenbastion America imposes its Western Civilization beliefs upon other countries, portrays other countries as uncivilized or unjust or inhumane (to invade/wage war) while failing to uphold the basic democratic systems (such as "blind" bka unbiased justice).

Just nobody knows what happened there in Xinjiang prison, cuz Chinese government covered everything up very carefully. So please don't say what you don't know.
