Two cases of double standard

• The United Nations committee against torture tells the United States it should close any secret prisons abroad and the Guantanamo Bay facility in Cuba, saying they violate international law. (Reuters) (Muslim News) (so what?)
  
• The case of Khaled el-Masri, who says he was abducted and tortured by the CIA because he was mistaken for another person, is dismissed by a district court in Alexandria, Virginia, as it would be a "grave risk" of damage to national security by exposing government secrets. The court rules that if the claims are true he "deserves a remedy" but this cannot be found in the court. (Deutsche Welle) (Washington Post)

The formation of a new global GULag network by the CIA is now a proven fact. Guantanamo Bay is only one of the many examples, the most visible one. So far, the US refuse to take any action on this issue, hiding behind words and excuses in one case, or plain silence in another.

The second case also proves how much the US officials have taken the role of the Invincibles and have decided they can do whatever they please "to protect freedom and democracy" and "the american way of life" without fearing of any consequences. And noone can effectively do anything about it.
