Read something shocking in the paper today. The al-Qaida detainees are cold-blooded murderers. They've been getting lots of attention from the media and even world leaders lately. Yet no one seems to remember about the innocent Canadian scientist who has been held and tortured in Saudi Arabia for the past 14 months! Full story here.

<< Morin said his nightmare began when the Saudis put him in a blindfold, handcuffs and leg shackles, and "flung me off the walls, punched me in the gut, kicked me in the rib cage ... they hammered me. "I was in the punishment cell for eight weeks in solitary (confinement) with the light burning all the time. They kept me awake for about 10 days. "They kick you awake, make you sit down, then stand up about every 15 minutes. "They hung me from bars above the door in my handcuffs so I was just on the balls of my feet for 24 hours at a time. They did that on four occasions. >>

I feel for him and his family. Every time I read things like this (also things like the two Texan women who were held b/c they were teaching Christianity...we'll never know what they went thru.) , my hate for the people of the Middle East grows. Yes, i know, they are NOT ALL like this...whatever. God is keeping score. Eternity is a long time to burn.

Did you read the article? He wasn't released, the quotes are from another person who was imprisoned with him, but who agreed to plead guilty to doing something he didn't. This guy didn't agree, so they are still keeping him. And he's going crazy apparently.
