Except in an email, Nick wrote that he was indeed detained by the Iraqi police (btw, this was the second time) but that US officials and FBI checked on him to make sure he had tootbrushes, etc. and to question him. He also wrote that there was some concern amoungst the other inmates that he was Israeli so he was moved to what he said was a bathroom - but with his odd turn of phrase it might have just seemed like a bathroom. Ya know, I'm not sure about his use of language in the emails. The wordings is a bit off and at times sounds as if English isn't the writer's native language.
