Injustice dept. says "state secrets" regarding torture victim.
"Extreme Rendering" soon to be delivered by repukes against those anti-bushies
"The Justice Department has again asserted "state-secrets privilege" in seeking to dismiss a lawsuit by Maher Arar, a Syrian-born Canadian citizen who was detained in the United States in 2002 and sent against his will to Syria, where he says he was tortured until his release a year later.

The state-secrets privilege was invoked again in 2004 to block a lawsuit brought by Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) whistleblower Sibel Edmonds.

Arar was transported to Syria under a U.S. government program known as "extreme rendering" – taking detainees to countries where prison authorities are known to practice torture"
