A Case of Detention: Jordanian BMOT?…..
nbsp;
“The American Civil Liberties Union has filed a lawsuit against the FBI, the CIA and other intelligence agencies, demanding records about the detention in the United Arab Emirates of a U.S. citizen who claims that the U.S. government colluded in his arrest and torture. Naji Hamdan, a naturalized American of Lebanese origin, was arrested in the U.A.E. in 2008 and eventually convicted of terrorism charges and sentenced to 18 months in prison by a court in Abu Dhabi. He was released almost immediately because of time served in pretrial detention. He was deported to Lebanon, where he now lives with his family. Hamdan, 44, who previously owned an auto-parts store in Los Angeles and managed an Islamic center, claims that he confessed under torture at a secret prison in the U.A.E. and that the U.S. government orchestrated his arrest and interrogation. ……..”
If this story is true, IF, then most likely borrowed or seconded Jordanian interrogators were used. Natives may be too soft and squeamish for such "focused sessions" as mentioned in this case. The Jordanian government practically can run ads around the Gulf “Have interrogators, will travel”, as well as BMOT “Bring my Own Tools”.
I wonder if it is related to that famous lack of humor, that famous Jordanian surliness, I have been write about occasionally?
