excellent.

apparently only 7% of all detainees were ever caught by American soldiers.
The other 93% were handed over by foreign baddies, more often than not for lots of moola.

It's less dramatic when I see all the duplicates. You should have kept us ignorant about that, B0b.

Yup, Moazzam Begg has been blowing up stuff constantly since his release.



GuantĂ¡namo and back: an interview with Moazzam Begg | open Democracy News Analysis

Quote:
Former Guantánamo Bay detainee Moazzam Begg is devastatingly reasonable. He is calm, well-spoken, highly articulate, and small; when imprisoned by the US army in Afghanistan, he says, his hands were small enough to slip out of their cuffs when the guards were absent.

Begg was imprisoned for three years without charge or trial. A British citizen, he was picked up by US intelligence officials in Pakistan in January 2002; they accused him of being a member of al-Qaida, which he denies.

At first, Begg was taken to the Bagram detention centre in Afghanistan, where, he says, he went a year without seeing sunlight. From January 2003, he was moved to Guantánamo Bay. Most of his time there was spent in solitary confinement.

Click here to read an extract from Moazzam Begg's book Enemy Combatant

The British government brought him back to the UK in January 2005, along with three other British detainees. They were all taken in for questioning at Paddington Green police station – and released within 24 hours. No charges have ever been brought against them.

Texpat ---you are so right but the usual typical muslim lovers here will swamp us with condemnation for saying so.
If these people had been captured by the mudslimes then for sure we could have watched them all being beheaded on al jazeera years ago.
When will the idiots learn that this is a fight for survival and it needs to be fought ( even belatedly) now and not passed on to the next generation,

Texpat is a typical paranoid military man,

can't blame, he was trained like that

if his commander in chief would ask him to surrender if his homeland was to be invaded, he would follow orders without asking any questions,

I think you may have been misinformed as to the ubiquity of underground railways in Thailand. Any mad bomber who wishes to blow up the Aranyaprathet, Khon Khaen or Chiangmai Tube systems will have to build them first.

As far as I know it's only on the net at the moment, it's part of a series;
There's a link in the OP but it's not very obvious, here it is again

current work

There's some interesting stuff on there, well worth a look.

Quote:
An American Self-Portrait

Running the Numbers looks at contemporary American culture through the austere lens of statistics. Each image portrays a specific quantity of something: fifteen million sheets of office paper (five minutes of paper use); 106,000 aluminum cans (thirty seconds of can consumption) and so on. My hope is that images representing these quantities might have a different effect than the raw numbers alone, such as we find daily in articles and books. Statistics can feel abstract and anesthetizing, making it difficult to connect with and make meaning of 3.6 million SUV sales in one year, for example, or 2.3 million Americans in prison, or 32,000 breast augmentation surgeries in the U.S. every month.

This project visually examines these vast and bizarre measures of our society, in large intricately detailed prints assembled from thousands of smaller photographs. Employing themes such as the near versus the far, and the one versus the many, I hope to raise some questions about the role of the individual in a society that is increasingly enormous, incomprehensible, and overwhelming.
