Dear freesoul,
This is just a "shot in the dark", so to speak, but is it possible the Sheikh has invented a new torture form - one the CIA might be interested in:

Sandboarding

Regards,
John

P.S. The moral here is clear: Never film your torture sessions.

Repost. Not that that makes it any easier to watch. Sad

There have been several negative stories out of the Gulf -including this one, in the US media recently.
I hate to say this..but one wonders if such news reporting would have seen the light of day a year or so ago under an Administration that shall remain nameless.

Apparently, both Cheney and Rummy felt they had the right, no...duty, to control the press. Just ask al-Jazeera or the Guardian.

Ah no, it would have been shown. There is nothing the American media (and the previous administration) loved more than a story which showed Arabs in a bad light. In particular to the admin, it justifies as their crimes...

Even Arabs that were on our payroll , so to speak?

Sure... why not?

Must I really explain..why not?
I'll bet you're old enough to remember a little film from the early "80's entitled "Death of a Princess". Our good friends the Saudis made such a fuss at the time that it was not broadcast on PBS. I believe the Dutch were the only Western country with the guts to tell them to go **** themselves and aired the program.
I, myself, happened to be in the Eastern Province when some hapless soul was beheaded for witchcraft...not a word from the State Department , nor-as I recall-from the Jewish controlled US press.
Yes...Arabs and other Muslims may be discriminated against in America...but the "Thobed Ones" are not among them.

Dear 007,
Well, you have to give the Sheikh credit for making use of the materials at hand - no water available so he improvised.
Regards,
John

I was just announced on Fox News that the nuclear power plant project where the U.S. will sell this commercial technology to the U.A.E. has been put on hold while the incident is investigated. Jesus may have screwed the pooch on this one! Boy, I'd like to be a fly on the wall when Khalifa is asking little bro to 'splain his self!

But then again, I heard on Fox News...

I heard this briefly reported on a local radio station during a news update--103-something FM. The two parties involved were refered to as "An Afghani national" and the "Perpetrator" and that although it had been amicably resolved, it was still under investigation.

Sorry.
I've just reread my earlier post. The word Jewish should have been placed in quotations. I was trying to make an ironic point. It didn't work.
I am truly sorry.
