An Innocent Abroad
May 4, 2008
Sami al-Hajj — an al-Jazeera cameraman, an innocent man — has just been released from Guantanamo where he was held and tortured for seven years without charge. He was arrested and delivered to the Gulags of the ‘land of the free’ by the execrable Musharraf regime in Pakistan. His innocence proved no impediment to his American tormentors who kept him gagged and bound even during his final flight to Sudan.
(At the end of the first report, Al Jazeera interviews someone from Reporters Without Borders. The name may suggest a link with Medicins Sans Frontiere; there’s none. RWB is a dodgy outfit that receives funding from NED, and its targets predictably align neatly with the official US enemies list [Venezuela, Cuba etc])
An earlier interview with Sami’s lawyer, Clive Stafford Smith.
