Supreme Court Won't Hear Torture Appeal - New York Times

Canadian citizen, Maher Arar, who was detained by U.S. officials last year during a stopover in a New York airport, said he was repeatedly tortured after the U.S. secretly deported him to Syria where he spent 374 days in a Damascus prison without charges.

In Syria, Arar said he was repeatedly beaten and tortured, kept in a cell three feet wide and forced to sign false confessions.

Khaled el-Masri, a German citizen of Lebanese descent, says he was picked up in Macedonia and flown to Afghanistan, where he was questioned about ties to terrorist groups and beaten by his captors, some of whom were Americans. He was apparently subjected to "extraordinary rendition," the practice of taking foreign nationals to be interrogated in other countries where, the Bush administration believes, American law does not reach.

i doesn't make any sense.
America tries to export democracy to other countries, but when a citizen of another country tries for a fair trial he is rejected!
Canada compensated the Canadian man with 9.75 million dollars, why is America compensating this man or any of the other wrongly imprisoned men.

if these man say they were tortured its pretty obvious what CIA officials are doing in their "black sites"
or other prisons, Bush needs to stop saying he doesn't torture prisoners.
