Domingo Soto: Because Freedom Isn't Dumb

JUDGE DISMISSES EXTRAORDINARY RENDITION CASE
Maher Arar became one of the best-known victims of the CIA's practice of "extraordinary rendition", the sending of suspected terrorists to countries known for torturing their prisoners. "In a startling, ominous decision, a Federal District Judge has dismissed a lawsuit by Arar, who, during a stopover at Kennedy Airport on the way home to Canada after vacation, was kidnapped by CIA agents and flown to Syria where he was tortured for nearly a year in solitary confinement in a three-by-six-foot cell."
