I agree. What happened to him could be worse than rape. They forced him to deny his own religious belief.
My problem is this: Why does he tell us we should understand those kind people now that he's back in the USA?
It was not Centani who said anything about understanding his captors. He said he respected Islam (a sop to the Islamics in whose countries American journalists are still working), but he stressed that his "conversion" was forced, at the point of a gun.

Simple. He wants to make it easier on the next journalist
who faces that situation.
Its so easy to sit safely here in the States and dis
Wiig and Centanni for being expedient. Who would not
have done likewize, in that situation?
Talk is cheap.
