Tortur á la carte
I dagens MetroXpress hedder en overskrift: "CIA i terrorfly over Danmark".
Dette henviser til et Gulfstream 5-fly med plads til 14 passagerer, som siden 2001 er brugt af CIA til at bortføre personer mistænkt for terrorisme til fangenskab med anvendelse af tortur - f.eks. på Guantánamo eller i Saudi-Arabien, Ægypten eller Yemen.
Dette fly har i forbindelse med sine transporter i ikke mindre end 12 tilfælde overfløjet dansk luftrum i sine torturtransporter, og forsvarsministeren svarer ikke direkte på, om flyet (med fanger) har landet på danske militærbaser.
Yderligere baggrund om de amerikanske myndigheders praksis med kidnapninger og "outsourcing" af tortur finder vi her:
Countries with poor human rights records to which the Americans have delivered prisoners include Egypt, Syria and Uzbekistan, according to the files. The logs have prompted allegations from critics that the agency is using such regimes to carry out "torture by proxy" — a charge denied by the American government.Hvad kan man sige? Skulle de amerikanske torturbødler have brug for at krydse dansk luftrum, får de selvfølgelig lov til det, no questions asked - hvad andet kunne vi vente os af Fogh og kompagni?
Some of the information from the suspects is said to have been used by MI5 and MI6, the British intelligence services. The admissibility in court of evidence gained under torture is being considered in the House of Lords in an appeal by foreign-born prisoners at Belmarsh jail, south London, against their detention without trial on suspicion of terrorism.
(...)
At the time of what was presented as an "extradition" to Egypt, Swedish ministers made no public mention of American involvement in the detention of Ahmed Agiza, 42, and Muhammed Zery, 35, who was later cleared.
Witnesses described seeing the prisoners handed to US agents whose faces were masked by hoods. The clothes of the handcuffed prisoners were cut off and they were dressed in nappies covered by orange overalls before being forcibly given sedatives by suppository.
The Gulfstream flew them to Egypt, where both prisoners claimed they were beaten and tortured with electric shocks to their genitals. Despite liberal Swedish laws on freedom of information, diplomatic telegrams on the case released to the media were edited to conceal the complaints of torture.
Når den egyptiske eller amerikanske torturbøddel efter endt overflyvning af dansk luftrum - evt. med mellemlanding på danske militærbaser - endelig kan sætte elektroderne til for det meste uskyldige menneskers genitalier, er vi - den danske regering, der selvfølgeligt gav tilladelsen, og hermed den danske befolkning, som uden protest accepterer regeringens handlinger - præcis så skyldige som den, der trykker på kontakten og ser fangen krympe sig af smerte.
Præcis så skyldige og præcis så hjemfaldne til lovens strengeste straf som de krigsforbrydere, de er.
