Donald Vance, a 29-year-old Navy veteran from Chicago, was a whistle-blower who prompted the raid by tipping off the F.B.I. to suspicious activity at the company where he worked, including possible weapons trafficking. He was arrested and held for 97 days — shackled and blindfolded, prevented from sleeping by blaring music and round-the-clock lights. In other words, he was subjected to the same mistreatment that thousands of non-Americans have been subjected to since the 2003 invasion.
Even after the military learned who Mr. Vance was, they continued to hold him in these abusive conditions for weeks more. He was not allowed to defend himself at the Potemkin hearing held to justify his detention. And that was special treatment. As an American citizen, he was at least allowed to attend his hearing. An Iraqi, or an Afghani, or any other foreigner, would have been barred from the room.

Prognosis: Very clever. Distorted perception of funny.
My God. I could certainly leave a more dignified and intelligent comment, but I refuse to waste my valuable time on you and am afraid I will be just as childish by leaving this comment. Alas, the child inside me just cannot resist dissing you; for you are one of the biggest idiots I have ever stumbled onto online.
Please sell your computer and enroll on a philosophy class; maybe then the definition of "funny" will make more sense to you.
You will probably enjoy reading this comment and that is why I will not leave my e-mail here so you can toy with it; I would have otherwise.
Just wished to get my point across.
Yours truly,
Sarah B. S.
