The Scotsman - International -
The Scotsman - International - Attorney general to face lawsuit over treatment of detainees AMERICAN civil rights lawyers are planning to sue John Ashcroft, the US attorney general, and other officials for "widespread abuse" of Middle Eastern men detained on immigration violations after 11 September. [ The Scotsman ]
I post this only because it's things like this that make us look really, really bad around the world.
More from the article:
"Thereâs no explanation for why theyâre being held," said Barbara Olshansky, an attorney at the centre. "These people are being treated worse than criminals."
I should also not that this is not about the people being detained in Cuba. These are people being held inside the U.S.
