A Gubbmint Form For Everything
here Zubaydah—here’s a pen pencil dull crayon
Apparently it was US treatment that has Aboobie Zubaydah feelin’ down…
As authorized by the Justice Department and confirmed by the Red Cross, they wrapped a [protective] collar around his neck and smashed him over and over against a [fake] wall. They forced his body into a tiny, pitch-dark box and left him for hours [with a ***bug***]. They stripped him naked and suspended him from hooks in the ceiling. They kept him awake for days.
...The beat him because they believed he was evil.
Partly as a result of injuries he suffered while he was fighting the communists in Afghanistan, partly as a result of how those injuries were exacerbated by the CIA and partly as a result of his extended isolation, Abu Zubaydah’s mental grasp is slipping away.
Call me an insensitive skunk, but I’m not all that disturbed. I remember that this is someone who - regardless of his status in alQ—would gladly see me and mine beaten, vanquished, subjugated, forced to pay jizya, or simply beheaded with a rusty blade. And forced to wear a dam tablecloth all the while.
Today, he suffers blinding headaches and has permanent brain damage. He has an excruciating sensitivity to sounds, hearing what others do not. The slightest noise drives him nearly insane. ... Already, he cannot picture his mother’s face or recall his father’s name. Gradually, his past, like his future, eludes him.
Sounds like Alzheimer’s to me; something that happens all the time to warm, generous, kind people who have never met a CIA operative or offered to hack anyone’s head off. Sad, but not legally actionable.
Maybe hand his lawyah this:

Tough nuggies for him.
