Quelle surprise
He claims the torture he suffered at the hands of his American military jailers at Baghdad’s al Ghraib prison was unspeakably brutal, unconscionably inhumane; so incredibly humiliating that he cannot think of moving back to his old neighborhood in Nasiriya. So instead, Hayder Sabbar Abd says he may be forced to relocate to an entirely new country - none other than the homeland of his torturers, the good old USA.
Mr. Abd alleges that in Nov. 2003, U.S. jail guards beat him, stripped him naked, forced him to pile on top of other naked inmates, then posed him in positions to simulate oral sex. It was a nightly ritual that began after a prison riot in which he participated. Then, inexplicably, the excruciating torture sessions stopped.
While some of his fellow Iraqis grouse that they preferred life under Saddam Hussein, Abd says that America should "pay compensation" to the prison torture victims. "He said he felt he needed to move out of Iraq," reported the New York Times on Wednesday. "Despite it all, he said he would not refuse an offer to move to America." |
