Hey, you want another couple of months in prison for nothing? Keep pushing, you little traitor.

In its response, filed Friday, U.S. attorneys cautioned the court to carefully consider getting entangled in military operations overseas. They said Kar cannot challenge the government's policies without "a realistic threat that he will again be subject to detention in Iraq by the United States military officers."

This is some truly heinous shit right here. Jailed for nothing, he's told he may go back to jail if he even asks why.

U.S. Seeks Rejection of Suit Over Iraq Detention

LOS ANGELES -- The U.S. government is seeking to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Cyrus Kar, an aspiring American filmmaker who spent two months in an Iraqi prison without being charged.

In the lawsuit, the first civil case challenging detention policies in Iraq, the American Civil Liberties Union of Southern California alleges that the filmmaker's detention violated his civil rights, the Geneva Conventions and the law of nations.

In its response, filed Friday, U.S. attorneys cautioned the court to carefully consider getting entangled in military operations overseas. They said Kar cannot challenge the government's policies without "a realistic threat that he will again be subject to detention in Iraq by the United States military officers."

Kar, an Iranian American, was taken into custody in May 2005 while he was in Iraq to make a documentary. The U.S. military said potential bomb parts were found in a taxi in which Kar was riding.

Military officials have said that Kar was properly detained as "an imperative security threat" and that the matter had been handled and resolved appropriately.
