Will Grigg?s Liberty Minute

February 26, 2009

New and infuriating details continue to be revealed in the case of Ethiopian-born British resident Binyam Mohammed, who was kidnapped by the CIA, tortured at the hands of CIA-trained foreign interrogators, and, until recently, held at the Gitmo detention camp.

During his imprisonment in a CIA-affiliated prison in Morocco, Mohammed was routinely beaten. He was also tortured through the use of a surgical scalpel to make tiny but painful incisions on his back, chest, and genitals.

Cleared of all terrorism-related charges a year ago, Mohammed remained in Gitmo for several months. Recent medical examinations reveal evidence that he was routinely beaten until literally the day of his discharge from the facility. One doctor said that the extent and severity of Mohammed?s trauma suggested that he was a victim of medieval abuse.

This was all done by agents of our government to a man they knew to be innocent.

Let us take back the liberty wherewith Christ has made us free.
