              Έκανε τις ΗΠΑ. κράτηση ώθησης Αμερικανού χωρίς δαπάνες;
Τετάρτη, 19η Νοεμβρίου 2008
Από μήλο S. Landay | ΟΥΑΣΙΓΚΤΟΝ - ένας αμερικανικός μουσουλμάνος υπέβαλε σε αρκετά έτη έντονης διερεύνησης FBI και η επερώτηση για τις συνδέσεις με την τρομοκρατία χωρίς τις δαπάνες, την πρόσβαση σε έναν δικηγόρο ή επαφή με την οικογένειά του για σχεδόν τρεις μήνες οι υπηρεσίες ασφάλειας των Ηνωμένων Αραβικών Εμιράτων. Η περίπτωση Naji Hamdan, που συνδέεται με τις ερωτήσεις FBI ενός αμερικανικού πολίτη που τίθεται υπό κράτηση κρυφά χωρίς δαπάνες στην Ανατολική Αφρική, δημιουργεί το ερώτημα εάν η διοίκηση των Μπους έχει ρωτήσει ότι άλλα έθνη για να κρατήσουν Αμερικανούς υποψιάστηκαν των συνδέσεων τρομοκρατίας που ΗΠΑ. οι ανώτεροι υπάλληλοι στερούνται τα στοιχεία για να χρεώσουν. Εκείνος ο ισχυρισμός είναι κεντρικός σε μια δίκη που η αμερικανική αστική ένωση ελευθεριών προγραμμάτιζε να αρχειοθετήσει την Τρίτη στο ομοσπονδιακό δικαστήριο στην Ουάσιγκτον ενάντια στον Πρόεδρο Bush, γενικός εισαγγελέας Michael Mukasey και FBI διευθυντής Robert Mueller. «Εάν οι ΗΠΑ. η κυβέρνηση είναι αρμόδια για αυτήν την κράτηση και πιστεύουμε ότι είναι, αυτό είναι σαφώς παράνομο επειδή η κυβέρνησή μας δεν μπορεί να συμβληθεί μακριά το σύνταγμα με τη στρατολόγηση της ενίσχυσης άλλων κυβερνήσεων που δεν εμμένουν στις απαιτήσεις του συντάγματος,» εν λόγω Ahilan Arulanantham του νότιου γραφείου Καλιφόρνιας του ACLU. Η δίκη, που παρουσιάζεται εξ ονόματος της συζύγου και του αδελφού Hamdan, απαιτεί ότι οι ΗΠΑ. η κυβέρνηση επεκτείνει σε Hamdan τη συνταγματική εγγύησή του ενάντια στην παράνομη κράτηση με να ζητήσει από τα Ε.Α.Ε. για να απελευθερωθεί. «Οι πιό στοιχειώδεις νομικές αρχές από τις οποίες κυβερνώμαστε δεν μπορούν να επιτρέψουν την άναρχη κράτηση ενός Ηνωμένου πολίτη στην εντολή της κυβέρνησής του,» είπε ένα σχέδιο της δίκης παρ:έχω σε McClatchy από το ACLU. Ένας εκπρόσωπος για το γραφείο του Λος Άντζελες της FBI, Hill Alonzo, ανάφερε όλες τις έρευνες για Hamdan, ένας προηγούμενος κάτοικος της γειτονιάς Hawthorne της πόλης, στην έδρα FBI στην Ουάσιγκτον, ρητό, «αυτό είναι μια περίπτωση αντιτρομοκρατιών.» Η έδρα FBI αμφισβήτησε τον ισχυρισμό ότι είχε ζητήσει από τα Ε.Α.Ε. για να συλλάβει Hamdan αλλά είχε αναγνωρίσει ότι παίρνει συνέντευξη από συνήθως τους κρατουμένους που κρατιούνται στις ξένες φυλακές. «Η FBI δεν ζητά από τα ξένα έθνη για να θέσει υπό κράτηση τις ΗΠΑ. πολίτες εξ ονόματός μας προκειμένου να παρακαμφθούν τα δικαιώματά τους,» εν λόγω πρόσθετος πράκτορας Richard Kolko, ένας εκπρόσωπος. «Σε θέματα τρομοκρατίας, συνεργαζόμαστε συνήθως με τα ξένα αντίστοιχα και σε μερικές περιπτώσεις, με την άδεια του οικοδεσπότη η κυβέρνηση, πράκτορες FBI έχει επιτραπεί για να πάρει συνέντευξη από τους ανθρώπους που μπορούν να κατέχουν τις σχετικές πληροφορίες.» Ένας εκπρόσωπος υπουργείου εξωτερικών είπε ότι το τμήμα γνώριζε τη κράτηση Hamdan και ότι ΗΠΑ. consular officer visited him nearly two months after he was arrested. The UAE Embassy said in an e-mail to McClatchy that all questions should be directed to the police in Abu Dhabi, the UAE sheikhdom where Hamdan is being held, because the case “is related to a police/security matter, which involves a private U.S. citizen.” Abu Dhabi, one of seven oil-rich sheikdoms, has cooperated closely with the Bush administration in cracking down against Islamist extremists following the 9/11 attacks. Hamdan is a 42-year-old naturalized U.S. citizen who immigrated to California from Lebanon in the early 1980s to attend university on a scholarship, worked as an aircraft technician and then opened a used auto parts business in Hawthorne, where he served on the board of a local mosque. Hamdan’s interaction with the FBI began in 1999, when agents visited him at his Hawthorne home and asked if he knew Osama bin Laden. The incident was recounted in a Los Angeles Times article on aggressive tactics used in FBI terrorism investigations. Hamdan’s wife, Mona Mallouk, and brother, Hossam Hemdan, insisted that he’s never had any terrorism involvement or been charged with any crime despite the longtime FBI scrutiny. “Naji hates war. He hates what happened on September 11. He hates terrorism,” Mona Hamdan said in a telephone interview from Beirut, Lebanon, where she and her children are living. Hamdan moved to Abu Dhabi in 2006 and set up a business of importing used cars doing car repairs, but then moved his family to Beirut and traveled between the two countries. In August, he was questioned at the U.S. embassy in Abu Dhabi by two FBI agents who flew out from Los Angeles. Several weeks later, UAE officials detained him, Mallouk and Hossam Hemdan said. Hemdan, who owns automobile emissions testing stations in Los Angeles, said he arranged for Hamdan to meet the agents at the FBI’s request. “He (Hamdan) said ‘That’s fine, I’ll see them,’” Hemdan recalled, adding that his brother later declined to discuss the meeting, except to say that “the agents know all this stuff about me and you and other people.” “I believe they are intercepting my phone calls and emails,” Hemdan said of the FBI. On Aug. 28, UAE security officers took Hamdan away as he, his wife and three children ate lunch in their Abu Dhabi apartment on the pretext of bringing him to a police station to sign papers related to a car accident, Mallouk said. She said that when her husband failed to return, she began a fruitless search for him at police stations. “I called the U.S. embassy . . . the next day. I was crying. They didn’t seem to care,” she related. “They said they would call back in an hour, but they didn’t call me back for six or seven days.” The consular officer who telephoned confirmed that the embassy was aware of Hamdan arrest the day it occurred, said Mallouk, who hasn’t spoken to her husband since he made a brief call to her shortly after his arrest. The case finds echoes in the secret detention in Kenya last year of Amir Mohammad Meshal, a New Jersey resident who was arrested fleeing the U.S.-backed Ethiopian invasion of Somalia. Meshal, who had spent time in Somalia with suspected Islamic extremists, was interrogated by FBI agents in Nairobi, secretly flown back into Somalia, turned over to Ethiopian intelligence officers and then flown to the Ethiopian capital of Addis Ababa, where he was imprisoned three months before being released without charges. “I think you see a trend that reflects illegal detentions going underground or off the books, where the United States . . . out-sources detentions to other governments,” said Jonathan Hafetz, an ACLU attorney who’s involved in the Meshal and Hamdan cases. Hemdan said the FBI visited his brother, himself and other Muslims in Hawthorne after the Sept. 11 attacks, showing them pictures of the hijackers and asking if they knew them. Agents called on Hamdan once at home and twice at his business, he said. The brothers’ names were placed on watch lists at airports and they would be pulled aside and interrogated about ties to terrorist groups every time they entered or left the U.S., Hemdan said. In 2006, Hamdan and his wife moved to the UAE. She said Hamdan was frustrated over the FBI’s scrutiny, and both were concerned about drugs and other problems at high school their eldest son was due to attend. At Los Angeles International Airport, they and their luggage were rigorously searched and they were subjected to lengthy questioning that made them miss their flight, according to Mallouk. In the UAE, Hamdan set up a used car and auto repair business. But he decided to move the family to Beirut because they have close relatives there and the UAE was too hot, she explained. Last year, during a visit to Hawthorne, Hamdan came under intense FBI surveillance, according to Hemdan, with agents watching the brothers’ businesses, tailing them in automobiles and questioning their friends. “Where ever he went, they chased him, government vehicles with black windows,” said Hemdan. “From my perspective, they wanted him to see them. They’d drive over the (lane) dividers and over curbs. They wanted to be seen so he gets scared and leaves. It’s like ‘You are not welcomed here.’” “I told him to go to the Federal Building (in Los Angeles) and talk to the FBI. I gave him the number and he called and left a message, but they didn’t call him back,” he continued. Earlier this year, Lebanese security officers detained Hamdan at Beirut airport as he prepared to board a flight to the UAE after visiting his family. They later ransacked the family’s house and confiscated two computers, a video game, papers and photos, Mallouk said. Her husband was “slapped” while being interrogated for four days, during which he was accused alternatively of being an al Qaida member or working for Israeli or U.S. intelligence, she said. Khalid, 16, was also questioned for three hours. Hamdan was released without charges. Have Your Say: Did U.S. push detention of American without charges?
