Jailed 2 Years, Iraqi Tells of Abuse by Americans
DAMASCUS, Syria — In the early hours of Jan. 6, Laith al-Ani stood in a jail near the Baghdad airport waiting to be released by the American military after two years and three months in captivity.
He struggled to quell his hope. Other prisoners had gotten as far as the gate only to be brought back inside, he said, and he feared that would happen to him as punishment for letting his family discuss his case with a reporter.
But as the morning light grew, the American guards moved Mr. Ani, a 31-year-old father of two young children, methodically toward freedom. They swapped his yellow prison suit for street clothes, he said. They snipped off his white plastic identification bracelet. They scanned his irises into their database.
Then, shortly before 9 a.m., Mr. Ani said, he was brought to a table for one last step. He was handed a form and asked to place a check mark next to the sentence that best described how he had been treated:
“I didn’t go through any abuse during detention,” read the first option, in Arabic.
“I have gone through abuse during detention,” read the second.
In the room, he said, stood three American guards carrying the type of electric stun devices that Mr. Ani and other detainees said had been used on them for infractions as minor as speaking out of turn.... story continues...

Define "terrorist" today the Revolutionary War would be a terrorist act.
Is the terrorist a HOT terrorist with a smokin' body? I mean... I don't think that Al Quaeda realizes that if they produce enough hot chicks, they could rule the world... Although Iceland hasn't done it yet, it's just a matter of time for them.

Do you believe the NYT fabricated this story, mightymouse?

Yeah I'm pretty confident he's lying.
You just have no grounds to stand on with stories like this.
The majority of Iraqis don't like America, but still it's impossible that, that FACT is skewing the info this prisoner is giving.
No no, that's not even considerable by unintelligent fools like yourself 240.

Please list your grounds that this man is lying.

Are you as confident this man is lying, as you are that I am unintelligent?

Well, your unintelligence is a fact, so my confidence in it being true doesn't change it :-*
Reasons he's lying are mainly the social enviroment of iraq at this present time.
Q: Is the man telling the gospel truth... e.g. is he not skewing ANY info? Is he being conservative in his claims of torture? Or is his info liberally skewed with bullshit? Hmm... ::)
