These were people who had literally nothing to hide, but they had something to fear anyway. Civil liberties are either applied to everybody without exception, or will be reliable for nobody.<\/p>\n<p>So this week\u2019s nuke was the Torture Report, showing that the CIA had been using wanton torture leading to deaths on detainees. The CIA was <a href=\"https:\/\/slate.com\/news-and-politics\/2008\/07\/our-torture-policy-has-deeper-roots-in-fox-television-than-the-constitution.html\">literally<\/a> more inspired by the <em>24<\/em> television series than by laws and constitutions. In several cases, the torture has led to death \u2013 what we would normally call \u201cmurder\u201d.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>According to British lawyer and writer Philippe Sands, Jack Bauer\u00a0\u2014 played by Kiefer Sutherland\u00a0\u2014 was an inspiration at early \u201cbrainstorming meetings\u201d of military officials at Guantanamo in September of 2002.<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>This is not just a violation of <em>one<\/em> principle. It\u2019s a severe violation of pretty much <em>all<\/em> of them at the <em>same time:<\/em> ban on unusual and cruel punishments, presumption of innocence, right to a speedy trial, right to life, ban on collective punishments, the list goes on.<\/p>\n<p>According to the report, the CIA knew that they had the completely wrong person in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2014\/12\/13\/us\/politics\/amid-details-on-torture-data-on-26-held-in-error-.html?_r=0\">at least 26<\/a> of the cases.<\/p>\n<p><strong>26 people who had literally nothing to hide.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This shows in a very brutal way that it doesn\u2019t matter if <em>you<\/em> think you\u2019re white as snow and have nothing to hide whatsoever. The saying \u201cnothing to hide, nothing to fear\u201d is false, dishonest, and misleading. It\u2019s always, always, always <em>somebody else<\/em> who determines if you have something to hide or not. And they\u2019re never using the same criteria as you are.<\/p>\n<p>Here, 26 people who believed in \u201cnothing to hide, nothing to fear\u201d were rewarded with torture. A ten-year-long torture, even. Does that mean that if you don\u2019t safeguard your privacy, you risk torture? No, of course it doesn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>But what it <em>does<\/em> mean, is that if you buy into the rhetoric of \u201crights should not be upheld for people who have something to hide\u201d, you\u2019re buying into the idea of civil liberties being flexible and unnecessary \u2013 under the illusion they would still somehow apply to <em>you<\/em> when the time comes, thinking you haven\u2019t done anything wrong. Of course, there are no such guarantees, and if history is a guide, they <em>won\u2019t<\/em>. Civil liberties are either upheld for the people who deserve it the least, or for nobody at all. There is no gray area on that.<\/p>\n<p>Privacy remains your own responsibility.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Twenty-six innocent people have been tortured by the CIA.
