I took an extreme position: that parents have no important long-term effects on their children's personalities.

The charges were dropped five months later, but not before Mohamed's defense team used the British courts to try to secure classified U.S. intelligence material held by the British government, which the lawyers claimed would prove that evidence against their client had been obtained under torture. His legal team allege that Mohamed's captors in Morocco beat him, deprived him of sleep and slashed his genitals with a scalpel; in Kabul, his lawyers say that Mohamed...
