This is war, and mistakes will be made. If the facts end up that all of the allegations the ACLU are making is true, then this man should get some kind of apology. But there is more to it than one mistake made by the CIA. I still have serious questions. In a time of war, how can a foreigner be represented by the American Civil Liberties Union? Shouldn?t this incident be worked out between the American and German governments first? And its more than a mistake the ACLU are going after, they are going after the entire practice of secret prisons. I hate to break it to all the terrorist sympathizers, but these thugs are trained well on misinformation, and it takes more than ?understanding? to get a straight answer out of people who are crazy enough to strap on a bomb belt and blow their self to smithereens for Allah.
Obviously this man was not one of those crazies, as the CIA has admitted to making a mistake. Let it be known that the ACLU are certainly correct, if the evidence stacks up, that holding this man for six months after they knew he was innocent deserves investigation, and that this man deserves some kind of apology and restitution. I do, however, question that it is the ACLU?s job to do this. I would love to see them go to court over one of our own innocent people being captured and abused by the terrorists. But then, our enemy isn?t in the practice of admitting mistakes and releasing any of their captives are they? Aqui.
