...prisoner, held at the U.S. naval base at Guant??namo Bay, was believed to have taken flying lessons in Arizona before 9/11, just like one of the hijackers. The female Army interrogator repeatedly asked the shackled Saudi, "Who sent you to Arizona?" but the 21-year-old said nothing. The interrogator and the translator for the session took a break and stepped into the hall. When they returned, the interrogator shed the top of her camouflage battle-dress uniform, revealing a tight Army T shirt. The prisoner looked away. She rubbed her breasts against his back, taunting him about...
Initially, military officials tried to prevent disclosure of the Saudi's story. When Saar, who spent 61/2 months at Guant??namo as a linguist and intelligence analyst, submitted the early draft of his manuscript to the military, as the confidentiality agreement he signed requires, Guant??namo officials marked the section about the Saudi for redaction, stamping it SECRET. The account, they advised the Pentagon, revealed interrogation methods and techniques that were classified.

The difference between these countries’ provisions is, at once, simple and frightening: while the British made an exception that allowed them to hold...
Inhiscolumn"Where'sTheOutrage?", about the Senate confirmation hearings of Attorney General--designate Alberto Gonzales [Jan. 17], Joe Klein wondered why there was no outrage over the abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib, Guant??namo and elsewhere or over Gonzales' complicity in the Bush Administration decision to use severe physical interrogation techniques. A similar apathy was the response to the excesses of the Patriot Act, the question of immigrant rights, Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's ineptness and arrogance, the need for affordable health insurance and, most tragic, the endless slaughter in Iraq. There is no outrage because...
