...Your articles cited sleep deprivation and modulation of caloric intake among the methods of interrogation used on Abu Zubaydah, al-Qaeda's chief of operations. This is the sort of treatment that one could expect from a 19th century French penal colony, not from the 21st century U.S. Jose Padilla, a U.S. citizen, was arrested on American soil, but when the Federal Government was unable to build a case against him that would have a chance of standing up in court, he was not released but instead was moved to a military base, where he is being denied access...

American Taliban John Walker Lindh and foreign suspects Zacarias Moussaoui and Richard Reid all face federal trial, but Yasser Hamdi, the Louisiana-born Saudi captured last December in Afghanistan, is being held in Norfolk as an enemy combatant.

HASNAIN "Back home in Karachi, where I was born and raised, Muslim extremist groups always eye mosques and seminaries for the new talent.
