The September 11 Attack On The New York World Trade Centre.
September 11 is a day of agony for the United State Of America.When two planes crashed into New York's World Trade Centre and which claimed lot of lives.
In the days following 9/11,more than 1200 men of foreign origin in the US were illegally abducted,detained and tortured for as long as 3 years.
The government did not find evidence linking a single one of them to the 9/11 attack.Eventually,more than 1000 were released.
To this date,most of them suffer from depression and stress and have not been able to focus enough to hold a job,this occurrence changed their lives forever.
In june 2006,President George.W.Bush said 'I have never ordered torture.I will never order torture.The values of this country are such that tortures is not a part of our soul and our being'.
On the 22nd of January 2009.Just two days after being sworn in as the new President of the United States of America.Barack Obama signed an order to shut down the infamous symbol of detention and torture.Guantanamo Bay.
May those that lost their lives in the 9/11 attack rest in perfect peace.
