http://www.journeyman.tv/?lid=56075Maher Arar was the first extraordinary rendition victim to sue the US government. But does the recent collapse of his case now make it even easier for America to outsource torture?
On unfounded suspicions, Arar was sent to Syria for 10 months where he was tortured. “I would say anything, anything to stop the torture.” In a lawsuit against the US government, he asked for compensation and a statement that what happened to him was unlawful. But on national security and foreign policy considerations, his case was thrown out. According to the judge: “The balancing of individual rights against national security concerns is one the courts should not undertake.” But Arar’s lawyer, Bill Goodman, fears this gives a green light for the renditions to continue. “If they can get away with doing it to Maher Arar, they are going to get away with doing it to whoever they chose.”

About the Site 🌐
This site provides links to random videos hosted at YouTube, with the emphasis on random. 🎥
Origins of the Idea 🌱
The original idea for this site stemmed from the need to benchmark the popularity of a video against the general population of YouTube videos. 🧠
Challenges Faced 🤔
Obtaining a large sample of videos was crucial for accurate ranking, but YouTube lacks a direct method to gather random video IDs.
Even searching for random strings on YouTube doesn't yield truly random results, complicating the process further. 🔍
Creating Truly Random Links 🛠️
The YouTube API offers additional functions enabling the discovery of more random videos. Through inventive techniques and a touch of space-time manipulation, we've achieved a process yielding nearly 100% random links to YouTube videos.
