In prison, Saidi was interrogated daily, sometimes twice a day, for weeks. Eventually, his interrogators produced an audiotape of the conversation in which he had allegedly talked about planes. But Saidi said he was talking about tires, not planes, that his brother-in-law planned to sell from Kenya to Tanzania. He said he was mixing English and Arabic and used the word "tirat," making "tire" plural by adding an Arabic "at" sound. Whoever was monitoring the conversation apparently understood the word as "tayarat," Arabic for planes.

"When I heard it, I asked the Moroccan translator if he understood what we were saying in the recording," Mr. Saidi said. After the Moroccan explained it to the interrogators, Mr. Saidi was never asked about it again.

"Why did they bring me to Afghanistan to ask such questions?" he said. "Why didn't they ask me in Tanzania? Why did they have to take me away from my family? Torture me?"

Mr. Saidi said the interrogators also accused him of hiding rockets in his house and of funneling money to Al Qaeda, allegations that he strongly denies and for which he said evidence was never produced.
If this guy was american, we'd have closed that place years ago. But who cares, he's just an arab. The whole article goes on and on... it's like a horror show.
