网上发表评论很难,说中国不学美国民主大老们要攻击谩骂,说中国要
学美国,他们一样攻击谩骂。这么说吧,他们的名字就叫攻击谩骂:)。
其实这事很清楚,美国媒体对此案的报道,ltlee网友已经提供了。俺再
提供一则美国路透社对本案报道:美国最高法院允许布什当局拘禁数百人,
将他们的名字和细节保密。理由是这些细节可能会帮助恐怖分子。(全文
见附录)。一切细节,包括名字都不予公布,这是道地的秘密拘禁。
同样的理由美国可用,为什么中国政府就不可用?比如王秉章,他不但创
作和发行恐怖活动训练手册,公开主张暴力颠覆中国政府,而且在从事这
种活动时被当场抓住。可中国却把他的名字公诸于世界了,这不明明落后
于美国吗?假如中国政府拘禁刘荻时采用同样做法,网上这些伪君子又哪
来的机会出售他们的伪善?
美国政府虐待这些被秘密拘禁者,事实俱在。大赦国际对此专文表示严重
关切。美国司法部也承认这些人被剥夺了基本人权(deprived of basic
human rights.)对他们实行了体罚,语言暴力,和超期拘禁。详细情形在
本文附录中有报道。无辜人民脚下拖着沉重的脚镣,简直暗无天日嘛。本
坛的民主和人权人士,赶紧搞点献花,唱曲,煽情吧。世界要你们来拯救
啊。
虚伪啊虚伪,不在虚伪中沉默,就在虚伪中灭亡:)。
最后邀请小O网友使用一下自己的脑子。不要以为媒体上称这七百多人是非
法移民,就认为“公民”的说法错。美国的司法原则是无罪推定。根据这
个原则,这些人被秘密拘禁时,并没被判决为非法移民,他们被拘捕时的
身份,合乎法律原则的称呼只能是“公民和外国人”。

USA: Watchdog agency finds post 911 detainees were deprived of rights
A report released on 2 June by the US Department of Justice's Office of
Inspector General (OIG) confirms many of Amnesty International's
findings that hundreds of non-nationals picked up in the post 11
September sweeps in the USA were deprived of basic human rights. Most of
those detained were Muslim males of Middle Eastern or South Asian
origin.
The 198-page report focused on the cases of 762 aliens detained for
immigration violations as part of the FBI's initial investigations into
the 11 September attacks, most of whom have since been deported. None
was charged in connection with terrorism. While it recognized the
challenges faced by the Justice Department in responding to the attacks,
the OIG found "significant problems" in the way detainees were treated.
Their findings included the following:
- Many detainees were denied prompt access to lawyers or relatives.
There were also routine delays in charging detainees with any offence;
some were held without charge, or without receiving notice of
immigration charges, for more than a month after being arrested.
- An information "blackout" meant that many detainees remained initially
in high security units without their relatives or lawyers being informed
of their whereabouts. In some instances the authorities denied holding
the detainees during that period.
- The FBI took an average of 80 days (and in some cases much longer) to
"clear" detainees for release or removal by the immigration authorities,
leaving them to languish for months in detention centres despite having
no connection with terrorism.
- The report was critical of the unduly harsh conditions in the
Metropolitan Detention Center (MDC) in New York, where 84 detainees were
kept in "lockdown" for 23 hours a day with restrictions on visits and
phone calls and were shackled with "handcuffs, leg irons and heavy
chains" every time they left their cells.
- The report found evidence of a "pattern of physical and verbal abuse
by some correction officers at MDC against some September 11 detainees".
Complaints included detainees being slammed against walls and having
their arms, hands, wrists and fingers twisted. Four cases had been
referred to the FBI for investigation but no prosecutions had resulted.
An OIG investigation into the cases was ongoing at the time of writing.
According to media reports, the Justice Department has rejected many of
the report's criticisms, saying that they acted within the law. However,
officials are quoted as stating that they were taking on board some of
the report's 21 recommendations for improving procedures for handling
such cases.
Amnesty International has broadly welcomed the report, although the
organization remains concerned about the secrecy which continues to
surround the detentions. The OIG investigation did not cover all areas
-- it did not touch upon the issue of closed immigration hearings, for
example, or the detention of material witnesses (people held without
charge as potential witnesses before grand jury proceedings) where
little information has been given out by the authorities.
Many of the OIG's findings echo the concerns raised by Amnesty
International in its March 2002 report: Amnesty International's concerns
regarding post September 11 detentions in the USA (AI IndexAMR
51/044/2002). The delays in access to counsel, notification of charges
and to release or removal, confirm Amnesty International's concerns that
detainees were held arbitrarily and deprived of rights to which they
were entitled under international law. Amnesty International will be
studying the report's findings in more detail. In the meantime, the
organization calls on the US government to implement the OIG's
recommendations as well as those included in its own report.
Background
The OIG investigation began in March 2002 after complaints about the
treatment of detainees were reported by human rights organizations and
in the media. Amnesty International released the first detailed report
on the detainees in March 2002 and was one of several organizations to
provide information directly to the OIG.
The OIG investigation focused primarily on detainees held in Passaic
Jail, New Jersey and MDC, New York. An Amnesty International delegation
visited the Passaic Jail in February 2002 and included its findings in
its March 2002 report. Although Amnesty International was refused
permission to visit MDC, it highlighted concerns about conditions in the
facility in its March report, calling for a full inquiry and remedial
measures.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -- The U.S. Supreme Court on Monday allowed the
Bush administration to keep secret the names and other basic details
about hundreds of people questioned and detained or arrested after the
Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Without comment, the top court refused to hear an appeal by civil
liberties and other groups challenging the secret arrests and
detentions for violating the Freedom of Information Act and
constitutional free-speech rights under the First Amendment.
The justices let stand a U.S. appeals court ruling that disclosing the
names could harm national security and help "al Qaeda in plotting
future terrorist attacks or intimidating witnesses in the present
investigation."
Although the high court stayed out of the dispute involving the names
of those detained, it has agreed to hear other cases arising from the
administration's war on terror.
Those cases involve the president's power to detain American citizens
captured abroad and declared "enemy combatants," and whether foreign
nationals can use American courts to challenge their incarceration at
the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
