The American Army captain in charge of all the translators. This captain, an Iranian Muslim who came to the United States in his teens, claimed to have converted from Islam to Mormonism. But Mr. Tierney told me that he behaved just like the other Muslims at Guantanamo, faithfully complained to officials about any anti-Muslim remark, and even prevented Mr. Tierney from using the Internet after he went online to gather open source data to aid in an investigation. He shut down Mr. Tierney's Koranic research by ordering the site manager (a Somali Muslim) to tell Tierney to desist.

D'you believe this?

I find it kind of surprising. Most Iranian emigrés in this country strike me as pretty loyal. And you wouldn't think that a convert from Islam would be all that devoted to that religion.

I wonder if the conversion was/is bogus.
