Friday, as in last week in 2025?? I had to check the source since I couldn't believe there are still court cases being held over 23 years after 9/11.
This man has been 10 years in custody already and still is not convicted? Aside from what he has or hasn't done that must truly suck. Or would it help you keep hope? I don't know but I am very surprised by this to be honest.
Hate to break it to you, but there were 100% innocent people held at CIA black sites for years without any charges, evidence of wrongdoing, or legal means for the persons detained to regain their freedom.
I can remember hearing years ago that a bunch of them were literally just business rivals or personal enemies of the ones who accused them and collected rewards for turning in Taliban/Al-Qaeda terrorists. Imagine your IRL least-liked person phoning a foreign government and making shit up about you, then getting $5-10K and you're stuck in a windowless cell blasting Slipknot for more than a decade afterward. Someone just * snaps fingers * and you disappear from your life after getting pulled into a panel van.
That sure is some evil business tactic
It’s a good thing the US hasn’t totally embraced sidestepping the constitution with the very clever and not at all adolescent-brained use of black sites…
There were people held without trial at Guantanamo Bay concentration camp for 20 years, with the military acknowledging they were completely innocent when they were captured (some were children) but that they couldn’t be released in case they now hated America (for some reason idk).
