...prisoner, held at the U.S. naval base at Guantánamo 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...

If they are so dangerous, why did the U.S. free them? Officials cannot...
...their lives. Prasanna Aryaprema Panadura, Sri Lanka Torture and Terrorists In his column "where's the outrage?," about the Senate confirmation hearings on Attorney General-designate Alberto Gonzales [Jan. 17], Joe Klein wondered why there was no outrage over the abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib, Guantánamo 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...
