Remember that muslim chaplain that was arrested on treason charges? This is his story:

Nothing new i guess, but certainly an interesting read.

Some of the worst complaints that I received were about what was happening inside the interrogation rooms. Some of the translators — Muslim military personnel like me — told stories about female interrogators who would take off their clothes during the sessions. One would pretend to masturbate in front of detainees. She was also known to touch them in a sexual way and make them rub her breasts and genitalia. A translator who had witnessed this woman’s behaviour told me that her supervisor had told her to tone down the tactics but had not disciplined her.

Sign me up. 3 squares a day, nudity.. I'm there

Our e-mails were read, our telephone calls were monitored and everything we said had the potential of being overheard.

Duhr, that is what happens on a military installation. It says so on the fence when you enter and every 200 feet there's another sign..

Microsoft was instructed to store Ahmad’s e-mails and records of his internet activity without his knowledge.

Does he work at Microsoft?

Well, personally i was more struck by the whole christians versus muslims thing he describes. It escalates so far that most of the guys he hangs out with end up getting arrested as traitors. I mean, they're americans, that's pretty worrying, no?

Oh, and the IRFing is pretty sickening, too. Like a bad episode of Oz, or what was that prison show called.
