US tries to free Jersey man...supposedly.

In December, Ethiopian officials detained Amir Mohammed Meshal, a man from New Jersey who traveled to Ethiopia to help with the Islamist movement. His was arrested for suspicions of terrorism. Human rights groups are now using his case as an example of a supposed secret detention program created by the US and Ethiopian governments. In response, the American officials insist that they are doing everything possible to ensure Meshal's freedom, and that there is no such thing as a secret detention program under their power.

well i've never heard of the conspiracy about a secret detention program under the collaboration of Ethiopia and the US. i doubt that it's true...but this is the last thing that the US needs, especially with the controversy surrounding the inhumane treatment of the prisoners in Guantanamo Bay. i pray that the US is not lying about their attempt to free Meshal. it could show that our government has a fair policy in terms of cruel and unusual punishment.
