Extraordinary Rendition, Torture and Disappearances in the "War on Terror" Human rights groups and several public inquiries in Europe have found the U.S. government, with the complicity of numerous   more...governments worldwide, to be engaged in the illegal practice of extraordinary rendition, secret detention, and torture. The U.S. government-sponsored program of renditions is an unlawful practice in which numerous persons have been illegally detained and secretly flown to third countries, where they have suffered additional human rights abuses including torture and enforced disappearance. No one knows the exact number of persons affected, due to the secrecy under which the operations are carried out. For more information visit

The Guantanam Guidebook

A teenage Omar Khadr sobs uncontrollably as Canadian spy agents question him at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in a brief video excerpt released via the internet early Tuesday morning.
  more...http://www.cbc.ca/canada/story/2008/07/15/khadr-tapes.html
The 10-minute video posted just after 5 a.m. ET is of poor quality and the voices are often inaudible, as it was never intended to be viewed by the public. But it shows Khadr, 16 at the time, being interviewed by Canadian officials in late February 2003.

The excerpt is from five formerly classified DVDs consisting of 7.5 hours of questioning, six months after Khadr was captured following a 2002 firefight in Afghanistan.

The tapes, made public under a court order obtained by Khadr's lawyers, offer a rare glimpse of interrogations of Guantanamo detainees and of Khadr.

Khadr, now 21, has been held at the military prison for the past six years.
Shows interrogator wounds

At one point during one of the interviews, Khadr raises his orange shirt to show wounds on his back and stomach that he says he sustained during the firefight.

"I'm not a doctor, but I think you're getting good medical care," the interrogator responds.

Khadr cries, "I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything!" in reference to how the firefight in Afghanistan affected his vision.

"No, you still have your eyes and your feet are still at the end of your legs, you know," a man says.

Between gasping sobs, Khadr tells the agent several times, "You don't care about me."

As Khadr continues crying, the agent calls for a break.
'Help me,' Khadr chants

"Look, I want to take a few minutes. I want you to get yourself together. Relax a bit. Have a bite to eat and we'll start again," the interrogator says.

Then Khadr begins sobbing with his head in both his hands, chanting over and over again in a haunting voice: "Help me ... Help me ... Help me."

In the next interview excerpt, Khadr sits on a blue couch looking down as he is questioned. He mumbles short answers and declines an offer of food.

The interrogator asks him a string of innocuous questions to try to warm him up.

"I want to stay in Cuba with you. Can you help me with that?" he says, commenting on how nice the weather is in the country.

He later asks, "What other interesting things do you want to tell me about?"

Khadr's response cannot be heard.

Sessions videotaped by U.S. agents

The U.S. Defence Department granted special permission to CSIS and Canada's Foreign Affairs ministry to question Khadr after he was brought to Guantanamo Bay, where he is still being held on charges he killed a U.S. soldier during a firefight in Afghanistan.

Michel Juneau-Katsuya, a former CSIS agent, told CBC that the unprecedented release of the interrogation tapes is likely to put a damper on Canada's relationship with the U.S. — at least in the short term.

"Anybody can logically sort of assume that the Americans will be a little bit more cautious about what they give to us or or in the context they give it to us, the Canadian authorities," he said Monday.

In May, the Supreme Court of Canada ruled that branches of the Canadian government had to hand over key evidence against Khadr to his legal team to allow a full defence of the charges against him, which include accusations by the U.S. that he spied for and provided material support to terrorists.

Several Canadian media organizations then applied for and obtained the release of the DVDs, as well as a package of documents that made headlines last week.

Disc copies of the 5-DVD collection were to be made available to the media at 1 p.m. ET at the lawyers' offices in Edmonton.  less

Note to YouTube
------------------------------
All that Nick Ginsburn'es video does is copy quotes from the Qur'an.
If YouTube thinks that his video is offensive, then they think that the Qur'an is offensive.
  more...
It seems that YouTube is suspending accounts that have videos that quote from the Qur'an.
I am not a Muslim but I think Islam shouldn't be censored on YouTube.

Therefore here is copy of the video that was censored.

Things have changed with Google. Google is just another big corporate media giant that cares about their bottom line and avoiding waves an any sniff of lawsuit.

Other popular channels recently have been deleted without notice. just liked they backed down on the Chinese censorship issue, Google/YouTube won't defend anyone here. it's not in their corporate culture.

These passages are from the Qur'an, the translations for which are found on this well-respected web site:

http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/quran/cruelty/long.html

If they are offensive, then the Qur'an is offensive. If they are 'unlawful, obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, pornographic, harassing, hateful, racially or ethnically offensive, or encourages conduct that would be considered a criminal offense' (YouTube terms of service) then you should delete ALL videos on YouTube which quote ANY passage from the Qur'an (and Judeo-Christianity too). That includes videos made by Muslims for a Muslim audience.

I have not changed these passages in any way. I have not sought to distort their meaning.

THIS VIDEO SHOULD NOT BE CENSORED.

If it is censored, please provide a FULL description as to why this video breaks your terms of service. In addition, please explain why ALL the videos you leave untouched, and in which Muslims and Christians condemn atheists (and each other) to hell are allowed to remain.

This video is offered for debate with Muslims. If they wish to explain each of these verses, they have the opportunity to do so. If the video is removed, they will not have such an opportunity.

If you are censoring merely because Muslims object to the content of their own Qur'an, please also remove ALL Islamic, Christian and Jewish videos, of all kinds, because as an atheist I consider them obscene, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, hateful, and racially/ethnically offensive.

CENSORSHIP IS WRONG.

Look at the masses, and I do mean MASSES of copyright and soft porn material you leave untouched on YouTube, then explain why you leave it all there and yet deleted this video, closed NickGisburne and Gisburne2000 accounts, my MikeNobody account and all other of my videos as MikeDamnNobody,

YouTube, please learn the difference between removal of hate speech and censorship of free speech. The difference between copyright protection and using copyright law to censor free speech.
Do not delete this video.

And PLEASE, restore NickGisburne and Gisburne2000 accounts. Hundreds of people will thank you for it - far more than those who complained about this one video, for which you banned him.

Note to YouTubers
------------------------------
This video can be downloaded from Nick Gisburne's web site:
http://www.gisburne.com

This censorship has to stop! Please copy/paste the following letter and send it to YouTube.

Dear YouTube,

It has come to my knowledge that the user NickGisburne has been suspended for a ludicrous violation without any substantial warning or urging of his cooperation to rectify on mentioned accusation. He is a good man that simply pleads for critical thinking on the subject of religion. Part of critical thinking has the sad consequence of offending people at times, but the irony here is that he simply used quotes from the Qur'an. I beg you to reconsider your action against NickGisburne. Please bring back his account(s).

LiveVideo wouldn't let the original video be uploaded (even though I made it clear that it might be inappropriate for viewers under 18). In a vain attempt to get people to watch, I've recut this and omitted   more...pictures of breasts, penises, vaginas, nude hermaphrodites, and nude transssexuals (which everyone believes was the problem). Despite the fact that all the objectionable pictures were aquired from publicly available sources that do not require age verification (e.g., MySpace and Wikipedia). So, this is the PG-13 version. The quality has been diminished by this. But, I hope it is still informative and entertaining for you.
