Lawyers for Abu Zubaydah. a detainee held at a CIA black site in Poland, warn that the Polish government has been dragging its feet on the case for so long that there is little hope of a serious legal outcome anymore.
The legal brief, filed in the European Court of Human Rights, notes that five solid years of investigation have not produced a single charge against anyone, and expresses concern that the evidence has been held secret for so long that it could be readily covered up by security services.
The US has been fighting to keep details of the black site and torture therein secret, and Poland’s former government, which oversaw its operation, has complained that allowing the media to talk about it is a national embarrassment.
Polish officials say that the complexity of the case is the cause for the delay, but human rights groups say they believe that diplomatic pressure, particularly from the US, is also keeping a lot of details away from the public. Whether the case ever emerges or simply remains a long-term mystery remains to be seen.
It is hard to keep secrets these days. Just a matter of time before it gets leaked and everyone will look worse then if they had come clean in the first place. It is the Internet age after all.
There is no proof this camp existed, because it never did exist in the first place. This rumor has gotten way out of hand.
The American Nazis are at it again. Sure wish the BRIC nations would form an alliance and squeeze the US until it delivers its war criminals to the Hague. The idea that America is a force for good in the world is by now such a cruel farce that only droolers salute the flag, and emblem of slavery, genocide and ecocide.
