THE U.S HOLDS GERMAN FOR 5 MONTHS,
the u.s has acknowledged that the c.i.a had imprisioned a german man for five months the washington post reported yesterday.
the u.s ambassador to germany told the german interior minister that the u.s would free khaled al-masri and asked the minister not to speak of the case ,according to several people with knowladge of the conversation who spoke to the newspaper.
al-masri a lebanese born german national ,says he was seized while on vacation in EUROPE last yearand then brought to a u.s prison in afghanistan where he was tortured and interrogated for suspected ties to the al quida terror group.
a german prosecutor is looking into al masria's cliams.
the posts sources ,who would only speak anonymously(who can blame them) said the united states wanted german officals to keep silent because of fears of exposing a covert u.s program to capture terrorism suspects abroad and transfer them to other countries.
the cia declined to comment as did the u.s embassy in germany and the german embassy in washington.
Now is nt that a sorry state of affairs thats going on how long must we be made to suffer at these hands they take people from forieng soil and torture them they are doing what they were trying to stop saddam doing so is any goverment going to stand up to these bullies or shall the u.s goverment do as they please .
if they want to protect the united states whynot put there troops on their borders and stop terrorists there instead of imprisioning innocent people how many case's dont we hear about .
