FOCUS | Khaled El-Masri | I Am Not a State Secret

Having just lost in court, a CIA kidnap victim asks why the US won't admit its error.

Khaled El-Masri was mistaken for a terrorist and wrongfully imprisoned by the CIA in Afghanistan four years ago, enduring severe beatings. In a first-person account of his ordeal, he writes, "What I want ... is a public acknowledgment from the US government that I was innocent, a mistaken victim of its rendition program, and an apology for what I was forced to endure. Without this vindication, it has been impossible for me to return to a normal life."
