A sad news update on al-Libi.

Sad because:

There will never be any hope that those who torture will ever see a courtroom? Now they have probably killed (with impunity) someone who could have given critical testimony against them. No one believes it was suicide. We put the Mafia to shame.  Try to be cognizant that all these new crimes must be now hung around Obama’s neck.  

What a disgraceful, sorry, freaking country we pretend to live in!

“Ali Mohamed al-Fakheri, also known as Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi, was found dead in his cell in Abu Salim prison in Tripoli, Human Rights Watch said in a news release Monday. Al-Libi had previously been held in secret U.S. and Egyptian detention facilities from late 2001 to at least 2005, HRW said. 

"The death of Ibn al-Sheikh al-Libi means that the world will never hear his account of the brutal torture he experienced...So now it is up to Libya and the United States to reveal the full story of what they know, including its impact on his mental health."

Sarah Leah Whitson, Middle East and North Africa director at Human Rights Watch

HRW called on Libya to disclose what it knows about al-Libi\'s treatment in U.S. and Egyptian custody.”
