Edited:Make no mistake the U.S.Supreme Court vote today was a massive victory for Totalitarian State Rule.
The U.S. Supreme Courts refusal to hear this case, The Masri Case, simply based on "it would put at risk state secrets", is a statement that the state rules over any crime against any individual or group if the state simply states "it is matter of state secrecy and none of the public's business"
Citizens of america that don't shiver at this are NOT individuals, they are slaves, state slaves and would make excellent obedient members of a Stalinist or Hitlerian government.
i say to any person that supports this decision of the U.S. Supreme Court is My Enemy.. Max90
<<High Court Won't Hear Rendition, Torture Case
by Jim Lobe
In a major rebuff to human rights and government accountability activists, the U.S. Supreme Court Tuesday declined to take up the case of a German citizen who was allegedly abducted, detained and tortured by the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) as part of the CIA's "extraordinary rendition" program.
By declining to hear the appeal, the court effectively let stand a decision by a federal court judge in 2006 to dismiss a civil lawsuit brought against former CIA director George Tenet, among others, by Khaled el-Masri, on the grounds that a trial risked exposing "state secrets."
"This is a sad day not only for Khaled el-Masri, but for all Americans who care about the rule of law and our nation's reputation in the world," said Ben Wizner, a staff attorney for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU), which brought the case on el-Masri's behalf.
"By denying justice to an innocent victim of this country's anti-terror policies, the court has provided the government with complete immunity for its shameful human rights and due process violations," he added, noting that the administration of President George W. Bush has asserted state secrecy to avoid disclosing information regarding key aspects of its "global war on terror," including the use of torture, in several other cases as well. >>http://www.antiwar.com/lobe/?articleid=11733
