Who knows what the truth is. I don't trust this guy, but I don't trust the Saudis either. It's a no win situation.
Ahmed Abu Ali...with that name, you are no American.
at least they didn't put panties on his head.
what did they do? what did they do? beheaded?

They turned this terrorist over to us. So who are you going to believe, the terrorist?
We should learn interrogation techniques from the Saudis.
We read Harry Potter to the terrorists as part of our 'harsh' interrogation technique. (not a joke, seriously)
Enter into evidence a copy of the Al Qaeda manual that instructs terrorists to claim they were tortured regardless of how they are treated.
exactly
Dr. Sobel: You don't hear the word 'No' very often, do you?
Paul Vitti: I hear it all the time, only it's more like "No! Please! No! No!"
Hmmm...and we can tell them who dies at the end of "The Half-Blood Prince" before they read it! Then they'll SUFFER!
In the meantime, in US custody:
Task Force Tends to Detainees' Dietary Needs During Ramadan
http://www.defenselink.mil/news/Oct2005/20051021_3126.html
WASHINGTON, Oct. 21, 2005 Members of Joint Task Force Guantanamo are ensuring detainees get special consideration for religious requirements of observing Ramadan, the Muslim holy month, which began Oct. 4 and runs to Nov. 3 this year.
Most observant Muslims fast from sunup to sundown during Ramadan, and food-service officials at the U.S. military detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, are providing pre-dawn and midnight meals to help the detainees observe their customs during this holy period, the joint task force's food-service officer explained.
Breakfast, which might normally be served around 7 a.m., is now served at 4 a.m. "because obviously we want to make sure that they have plenty of time to eat before sunup," Navy Lt. Jonathan Sym said in a telephone interview from the island naval base.
He said a religious adviser also provides input as to what's appropriate to serve during Ramadan.
Detainees who choose not to fast still receive meals on the regular schedule. But, Sym said, most Guantanamo detainees are fasting during Ramadan, though many have chosen not to fast.
The extra early and late meals, generally consisting of dates, fruit and bread, mean the food service staff works nearly around the clock during Ramadan, Sym said. Contractors provide food service to detainees and servicemembers at Guantanamo Bay.
Who knows? Maybe the Saudis beat this guy until he would say anything to get them to stop. The US needs public relations victories and it isn't beyond the state dept. or pentagon to jerk our chains.
I don't believe anyone, and certainly not a prisoner who the Saudis beat until he "talked".
please, a name does not an american make, john walker.
Ramadan fasting is skipping lunch.
"Ramadan fasting is skipping lunch."

Good point.
Oh, it's gone far beyond that.

This is why they are desperate the stop the formation of a new goverment in Iraq. Once the new goverment is in place they'll no longer have the US media blocking for them.
