Remember Checks And Balances?

Khaled El-Masri, a German car salesman and father, was on vacation in Macedonia when he was detained by local authorities. According to his sworn declaration, he was later transferred to U.S. authorities, and then beaten, sexually assaulted, drugged and transported to a CIA-run "black site" in Afghanistan. For almost five months, Mr. El-Masri was interrogated and held in a squalid cell without charges. Then, he was abandoned, blindfolded and alone, on a desolate Albanian hilltop more than a month after the CIA realized they had been holding the wrong man.
