Iraqi Editor's Experience in US Custody
Ahmed Janabi / Al Jazeera
August 19, 2004 -- Dr Muthana al-Dhari, editor-in-chief of al-Basaer newspaper and media officer of the Association of Muslim Scholars recounts his abduction by US forces: "They handcuffed us and blindfolded us and put us in a military vehicle. We spent the whole night sitting on a chair. The food was terrible, some cheap soup, a piece of mandarin, and dry biscuits. They asked why we hate them? I told them that we do not hate the American people, they are welcomed as tourists, traders…etc., but not as occupiers…. CIA officers have not a clue about what they are doing. Their questions … indicated serious ignorance of the Iraqi scene. Some of them … are very angry at George Bush. But … some (US soldiers) are just thieves. They stole my agenda and wrist watch in front of my eyes."
