(SOAPBOX #78) - Cindy welcomes Maria LaHood, Senior Staff Attorney with the Center for Constitutional Rights. She has a LONG history of fighting for the victims of our official "Justice" (not) system. Check out this interview she did with Amy Goodman of Democracy Now after the Second Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed Maher Arar's case against US officials for their role in sending him to Syria to be tortured. The Federal Bench calmly ruled that that victims of extraordinary rendition cannot sue Washington for torture suffered overseas, because Congress has not authorized such lawsuits. (See how simple that was? Yes, boyz and grrls - it's true: THE US DOES NOT TORTURE! Our "leaders" all say so.) Today, she and Cindy discuss the case of Anwar al Awlaki, a US citizen currently on the special forces "kill" list. Last Monday, the U.S. District Court agreed with the Obama Administration that U.S. Citizens can be killed without any charge; without any trial - and the District Court inexplicbly agreed. Uh, hey folks: Who amended the Constitution to delete the Fifth Amendment?
