The FBI’s Right To Threaten Torture
수요일, 2007년 11월 7일
제임스 Bovard 연방 고등 법원은 FBI 요원이 그가 9/11 공격에 있는 주용의자에서 틀린 자백을 강요한 책임에 재판에 회부되어야 한ㄴ다는 것을 단정했다. 그러나 FBI는 아직도 그것의 대리인이 아무것도 틀리게 하지 않았다는 것을 주장한다. 그리고 결백한 남자를 끊기 위하여 FBI 요원이 고문의 위협을 어떻게 이용한지 선발하는 최근 결정의 저 부분을 억압하기 위하여 법원이 feds에 의하여 흔들렸다. Abdallah Higazy 의 8월에 부루클린에 있는 과학 기술 대학에 기술설계를 공부하기 위하여 뉴욕시에 도착하는 30 년 오래된 이집트 학생. 27 2001년. 미국. 세계 무역 센터의 옆에 천년기 힐튼 호텔에 그의 방을, 비축되고 지불되는 외국 원조 프로그램. 첫번째 비행기 후에 세계 무역 센터, 호텔에서 그것 뜨겁 발이 있던 Higazy로 부쉈다. 테러리스트 공격이, 호텔 밀봉된 후에. 나중에 3 달, 손님은 그들의 용품을 만회하는 것이 허용되었다. Higazy가 12월에 호텔에 갈 때. 17, 그는 항공 라디오 소유의 검거되고 고소되었다. (보고되는 A 호텔 경비원 그의 방에 있는 안전에 있는 라디오를 찾아내기.) Higazy는 라디오를 소유하는 부정했다. 그는 중요 증인으로 검거되고 독방 감금에서 위로 잠겼다. Higazy는 그의 이름을 맑게 하고 싶었다, 그래서 그는 거짓말 탐지기 시험을 치르는 것을 동의했다. 그가 시험을 위해 Templeton에 의하여 위로 타전하고 그러나 다른 한편으로는 그까지 3 시간 동안 그를 위협하는 것을 진행했다 FBI 요원 마이클은 라디오 소유에 마지막으로 승인했다. Higazy는 이집트 안전은 당신의 가족 나락을." 준ㄴ다는 것을 당신이 저희와 협력하지 않는 경우에 FBI 요원이 그를, ", FBI 의지… 확인한ㄴ다는 것을 경고했다는 것을 밝혔다 FBI는 그가 거짓말 탐지기를 주어지는 동안 방에서 이기 위하여 Higazy의 검사를 허용하는 것을 로버트 Dunn, 사절했다. 심문 후에, Higazy는 Dunn에 따르면 "이어," 제어할 수 없 떨고 흐느낀. 1월에. 11 2002년, Higazy는 연방 첩보원에 속이기를 위해 기소되었다. 미국. Dan Himmelfarb 검사는 거짓 보고가 [라디오에 관하여] 아마 국가의 역사에서 가장 심각할 할 때 "조사되고 있던 범죄 주장했다. A radio that can be used for air-to-air and air-to-ground communication is a significant part of that investigation.” The Washington Post noted that “federal officials paraded [Higazy] before the media as a terrorist.” The feds never bothered checking with the U.S. foreign-aid program to find out whether Higazy’s story about why he was staying at the hotel next to the World Trade Center was true. The prosecutorial celebration flopped three days later when an American pilot showed up at the Millennium Hilton Hotel and asked for the aviation radio he had left in his room when the hotel was evacuated on 9/11. It soon became apparent that the hotel security guard (a former cop who had been fired by the Newark Police Department) had lied about finding the radio in Higazy’s room. The case collapsed and, a few days later, Higazy was awarded $3 for subway fare and released from jail. The FBI conducted an internal investigation and absolved Templeton of any wrongdoing. In late 2002, Higazy sued, asserting that the FBI’s coercive interrogation violated his Fifth Amendment rights against self-incrimination. Federal judge Naomi Buchwald dismissed his case, declaring, “[Agent] Templeton’s conduct and threats as a matter of law cannot be classified as conscience-shocking or constitutionally oppressive.” Perhaps Buchwald believed that as long as Higazy’s mother and sister were not brutalized in front of him during the interrogation, the FBI had done nothing wrong. A federal appeals court overturned this decision on Oct. 19, declaring that Higazy’s case deserved to go to trial. The original version of the decision detailed the tactics Templeton purportedly used to get Higazy’s confession. Two hours later, the court removed that portion of the decision from the Internet. The redacted portion of the decision (captured by bloggers before it was taken down) noted that the FBI agent admitted to knowing that Egyptian “laws are different than ours, that they are probably allowed to do things in that country … yeah, probably about torture, sure.” Thus, Templeton was aware that his threat would terrify Higazy. The revised court decision replaced such key details with the following mundane notice: “For the purposes of the summary judgment motion, Templeton did not contest that Higazy’s statements were coerced.” The FBI has long taught its agents that subjects of their investigation have “forfeited their right to the truth,” according to the ethics study guide at the FBI Academy. Perhaps, according to federal lawmen, it is a small step from lying to suspects to threatening to have their kinfolk tortured. The agency has done nothing in the nearly six years since this case began to indicate that the methods used in the Higazy case did not receive the full approval of FBI headquarters. The initial Higazy arrest and release were landmarks showing how far feds would go to gin up evidence and headlines for the war on terror. The fact that the FBI approved of its agent’s methods - and the fact that a federal judge saw no problem with the interrogation - are further warning signs of constitutional decay. Keep your eyes on this case, because it could help determine how far feds can go to destroy innocent people.
