Thanks for posting this, Sam. I tried to do the same earlier, as an addendum to my "Watch this story" thread, but my computer crashed.

They have nothing on this poor son of a bitch, they held him without charges for a month and then for months afterward.

They adultery and porno charges may be real or trumped up, but neither one is a crime unless you're in the military and neither one is what they were seacrhing his computers for.

What are they punishing this guy for? They're own incompetence? Something they thought he might do? What the hell message does this send to other people who actually speak iraqi who might, oh I don't know, actually help US intelligence with interrogation?

Anyone notice that some of the 200 hundred folks we're about to release from Guantanamo we're now saying were kidnapped and handed over to the US for reward money? Imagine getting kidnapped and spending two fucking years of your life in prison, all the time having no contact with a lawyer or family and never knowing if you would ever get out at all. And what, it's just a coincidence we figured out some of thes folks were totally innocent at the exact same moment the Supreme court agreed to hear their cases? Are we trying to get the middle east to be more like us, or are we too busy being more like the middle east?
