#1 Al-Mutairi, now 28, said he left home in October 2000 to work as a teacher and minister in small mosques and schools in Afghanistan.

Yeah, a simple "holy man" just trying to spread the word caught in the wrong place at the wrong time. Seems to happens a lot to these guys, doesn't it?

#3 I'll bet he has a more interesting future than that. Especially with the RF emitters implanted during the chest surgery.

#4 Other inmates launched three hunger strikes to protest the harsh conditions,..

If they had to stage three of 'em, not many people must have been paying attention.

#5 More from Al-Mutairi on his brutal treatment...
On the U.S. Naval Base, he felt there was "a psychological war" against prisoners. Food was rationed in small amounts. When prisoners asked for seconds, guards threw the food out of the serving pans instead of giving it to them, he said. "They deliberately poured tea and left it to become cold before they served it to us," he said. "They bothered me when I prayed by playing loud music or stamping their feet hard beside me."
No cake and ice cream, no ponies. Get Human Rights Watch on the phone, will ya?

#6 He might have a valid point about the cold tea. Nothing worse than cold tea.

#7 "Some have demanded cash for interviews, calling into question their credibility".
Sooo, if he dont demand money then he must be telling the truth about the guards inflicting "hunger-strikes" and "suicide attempts" upon his poor innocent self. Not to mention his near death ordeal of proper medical care for his wounds.

#10 Nothing worse than cold tea. In the States that's called "iced tea," and it's considered a treat during the summer months. Al-Mutairi should learn to become more appreciative of other cultures.
