From the desk of Mr. Lady:
Robert Seldon Lady, that is. Lady, the chief CIA officer in Milan in 2003, traveled to Cairo for two weeks a few days after Osama Moustafa Hassan Nasr, a radical cleric, was abducted off the street in Milan and taken to Cairo. According to Nasr, this is what happened to him as the result of CIA rendition.
Abu Omar wrote that he was grabbed on the street in Milan and thrown into a van by men who never spoke. When he tried to resist, he wrote, he was "severely beaten" until white foam spewed from his mouth and he became incontinent.Milanese prosecutors have brought charges against 26 U.S. nationals, including CIA operatives, in a case expected to begin this week. This is what was done in your name. Allegedly. UPDATE. Nasr writes that in his cell, "the cockroaches and rats and insects walk all over my body night and day." Imagine this for a moment. I'll make it vivid. It's garbage night, and so, while my roommates typed away, I took the trash out. As I was dragging the garbage bin down to the curb, a giant rat emerged from the pail and jumped on me. For what seemed like an eternity, he dug his ratty claws into my pants and thought for a second whether it made sense to make my crotch his new home. Thinking better of it, he dislodged and ran down the street as I let out a womanly cry. I ran inside and informed Matt, Kriston and Catherine that for the forseeable future, garbage detail is on them. I think I speak for many when I say that having a rat crawl on them -- pestilential, filthy creatures -- is difficult to bear. To endure this repeatedly, for months, in confinement, surely plays on one's nerves. And to have this done deliberately in an attempt to turn someone into an informer is immoral. --Spencer Ackerman
I highly recommend seeing Children of Men. I have never felt like puking from sheer emotional exhaustion after a movie, but this one did it. The terror of seeing the logical conclusion of our current love affair with torture is almost too much to bear. |
