"Family still seeks CIA detainee’s remains; Efforts thwarted since death in ’02" by Kathy Gannon and Adam Goldman, Associated Press / January 6, 2011
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — The family of Gul Rahman is still trying to recover his remains for burial, months after learning that the Afghan man was stripped naked, doused in cold water, and then left to die in a CIA-run Afghan prison known as the Salt Pit.
And the war crimes charges were filed where?
Suspected of links to Al Qaeda, Rahman was picked up in the early-morning hours of Oct. 29, 2002, from a home in Islamabad and taken with four other people to a CIA black site called the Salt Pit near the Kabul Airport.
Which "Al-CIA-Duh" would that be, huh?
The made-up "Al-CIA-Duh?"
Or the "Al-CIA-Duh" CREATION for the COURTROOM!?

Oh, AmeriKa's MSM KNOWS ALL ABOUT the CHARADE and DECEPTION?
That makes them complicit, doesn't it?
Rahman died Nov. 20, 2002, but his identity was not known until revealed by an Associated Press investigation in March.
Since then, appeals by his family — Afghan refugees living in Pakistan since the 1980s — for his remains have gone unanswered....
Dr. Gharat Baheer, who was picked up with Rahman, is the son-in-law of wanted militant Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, whose Al Qaeda-allied group, Hezb-e-Islami, is battling US and NATO troops in Afghanistan....
Hekmatyar the CIA ASSET?
"Gulbuddin Hekmatyar the favored warlord of the ISI and CIA. Casey was said to be particularly fond of him as both shared a goal of extending the fighting beyond Afghanistan into the Soviet Union itself. He was a ruthless fighter, who also led several raids into USSR territory. He was also a major drug trafficker. Almost half of all the covert weapons directed at Afghanistan were sent to his group"

They just played him.
Gul Rahman’s name had not been previously known until he was identified as the detainee who had died at Salt Pit. Rahman is the only detainee known to have died in a CIA-run prison, and his death stands as a cautionary tale.
Former CIA officials say Rahman was acting as a conduit between Hekmatyar and Al Qaeda.
Translation: He was the CIA MIDDLEMAN, no?
They KILLED ONE of their OWN or JUST AN INNOCENT MAN?

"Kinder prison, swifter justice for US detainees in Afghanistan" by Farah Stockman, Globe Staff / January 18, 2011
KANDAHAR, Afghanistan — An American prison near Kabul.
Since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, US forces have detained thousands of suspected enemy combatants without trial in facilities such as Guantanamo Bay in Cuba, Abu Ghraib in Iraq, and Bagram in Afghanistan. US officials say the detentions prevent attacks, but critics charge that innocent people have been unfairly held for years....
They are ALL INNOCENT when you realize the official 9/11 story is a complete impossibility and lie.
A new, modern prison, which officials say emphasizes rehabilitation and release....
While the climate in AmeriKa is lock 'em up and throw away the key.
Despite these improvements, the military’s opaque judicial process often seems arbitrary to the local populace and continues to leave some Afghans unappeased.
They must all be "insurgents" or "Taliban."
Sensitive evidence against Mohammed was never shared with him, nor explained to the public. Four months after he was seized, American soldiers issued him a gray coat, a white prayer cap, and a black bag containing a toothbrush, then set him free with little explanation.
We call it freedom and liberation.
His quick release bolstered the belief among some Afghans that he should never have been arrested.
And we should NEVER HAVE BEEN THERE, America!!
Some also say an evolving system of judicial trials for detainees is unfair.
“The perception is still that it is like a black hole,’’ said Hekmat Karzai, a cousin of Afghan President Hamid Karzai and director of the Centre for Conflict and Peace Studies, an independent, nongovernmental organization in Kabul that offers legal defense to detainees.
Numbers released by American authorities tell a tale of speedier justice, however. In 2010, as US troops pushed deep into hostile territory, the US-led coalition arrested 6,223 Afghans, the largest number on record, Harward said. But about 5,000 were let go within days, often after tribal elders vowed to keep them out of trouble.
About 1,200 — who had the most damning evidence against them — were sent to the new $60 million US prison facility outside Bagram Air Base. A quarter of them were released within months without a trial.
Good thing that money was NOT NEEDED HERE, America!
“There are people who think this is all rearranging the deck chairs on the Titanic. But you have got to hope they succeed,’’ said Eugene Fidell, a professor at Yale Law School and a specialist in the subject of military justice....
Or musical torture chambers.
Task Force 435 is in charge of US detention operations in Afghanistan.
The timing of Mohammed’s arrest — and the fact that he was taken by US soldiers — worked to his advantage.
Had Mohammed been arrested by Afghan security forces, he might have been sent to an Afghan court, and sentenced to serve in an Afghan prison....
Of course, he never should have been in one at all. See how the agenda-pushing, manipulating media subtly and slyly pushes the framing of the issue?
Good thing he wasn't illegally detained by Afghans!
If Khan Mohammed had been arrested by US forces a year earlier, he would have been sent to a makeshift US jail at Bagram Air Base, where two detainees died in 2002 at the hands of interrogators who later pleaded guilty to assault charges....
That's odd because the above article told me only one was known to have been killed in CIA custody.
The lies never end, do they?
And NO MURDER CHARGES?
Constructed just outside the walls of the base, the new facility boasts literacy classes in English and in the detainees’ native language, a greenhouse where inmates grow spinach and cabbage and learn beekeeping and irrigation farming techniques; and a traditional clay oven in the prison yard where they can learn to bake bread. The facility even has a program in which about 20 inmates discuss geopolitics and Afghan history with a professor.
Not everyone is eligible for the rehabilitation programs or speedy release; 119 inmates have been detained for more than two years, about 80 of whom Harward said the United States intends to keep indefinitely because they are third-country nationals or Al Qaeda affiliates deemed a serious security threat outside Afghanistan.
But for those that the US considers relatively low-level fighters, like Mohammed, US detention can be short. US soldiers gave Mohammed a psychiatric assessment and a health exam, and scanned his iris so that he could be biometrically identified.
Meet the NEW WORLD ORDER in Afghanistan!
They issued him a uniform emblazoned with his detention number — 4449 — printed in huge numerals across the front, a mat and a blanket, and locked him in a large yellow metal cage, where about two dozen inmates slept on the floor.
Mohammed received three meals a day, prepared by US soldiers using Afghan recipes they found on the Internet. If Mohammed felt ill, he was brought to an outpatient clinic staffed by eight doctors, an optometrist, an orthopedic therapist, and a dentist....
How come your government won't give you such things, AmeriKan?
