The detainee's physical condition is frequently checked by medical corpsmen--sometimes as often as three times a day-- which indicates either spectacular concern about al-Qahtani's health or persistent worry about just how much stress he can take.

It is stamped SECRET ORCON, a military acronym for a document that is supposed to remain with the organization that created it. A Pentagon official who has seen the log describes it as the "kind of document that was never meant to leave...
...only imagine what time travelers from that strenuous era would make of modern-day Americans, sitting on their duffs most of the day--in the car, at the office, in school, on the sofa--eating like a stevedore and then driving to the fitness club to log a mile or so on a conveyer belt.
