Gotta like the sound of this

Throughout 2002, Bush administration lawyers came up with a baffling array of definitions of permissible interrogation techniques, based on definitions of Afghanistan as a "failed state" and al-Qaeda and Taliban fighters as "illegal enemy combatants," not prisoners of war. Heavily criticized by human rights groups, this policy stopped short of the most brutal forms of physical and mental torture.

Extraordinary rendition didn't. Suspects picked up on Afghan battlefields, Pakistani madrassahs or, as in Maher Arar's case, at JFK airport in New York were sent to Jordan, Egypt, Syria and Bagram airbase outside Kabul. Interrogators weren't hindered by due process or by the American legal system. Suddenly, torture became possible. "It was a catalogue of horrors," said Anthony Romero of the American Civil Liberties Union, "you began to hear about outrages of every kind."

You gotta hand it to Bush, any chance he gets he seizes the immoral high-ground.

looks like we're at it again:

Imam accused of molestation to be deported

TAMPA - A Muslim imam accused of molesting a boy at a Tampa mosque pleaded guilty to a lesser charge, and will be deported.

Yasser Mohamed Shahade, 35, pleaded guilty to lewd and lascivious molestation.

He was initially charged with sexual battery on a 13-year-old boy.

Prosecutors said the incident took place last year during an overnight stay at the mosque. At the time, police released few details about the boy's condition. They said the boy's family called the police after the boy spent the night at the mosque.

Thursday, the judge sentenced Shahade to ten years of probation, and labeled him a sex offender.

Shahade is in the United States on a visa, and is now set to be deported back to Egypt.

you can keep him, thx


yes, yes, i know it's deportation, but the effect of sending him back to egypt & be tortured just for sport seems to fit this thread

No, deporting a convicted criminal compared to kidnapping an innocent citizen of a third country and sending them to Syria for torture.

Oh I see, I'm speaking of the crime itself, not said punishment. But maybe we should be sending pederass priests to Syria. Except were not putting priests on trail, which was the point I was trying to make, we only prosecute religious people based on xenophobia for pedophilia.
