"Before going to his cell, Omar says prison officials videotaped him as he was stripped naked and given a rectal exam in front of an audience of male and female agents.

“I don't feel like a man, you know, once they're searching me like this," says Omar. "I don't feel like a man."

Authorities deny that women were watching, but they don't deny that Omar spent the next two months in solitary confinement, with the lights on 24 hours a day.

"The cell was freezing. It was cold," says Omar. "I didn't get to change clothes for 14 days. They kept the shower very cold. No warm or hot water. Nothing." "

Hmmm, I don't see any weird characters on my screen. Perhaps it's incompatible encoding. I use UTF-8 for compatability reasons, what encoding is your browser set to?

One way to post unusual graphics/characters like that is to use a type of word program to create them and then copy and paste them where you want them.

They are interesting to look at though ....

Sorry about that. Those are supposed to be quotes. I changed my browser to "western" encoding and then could see the strange characters. I used UTF-8 for a Cisco online class I was taking that required that. Anyway, I went back and fixed the original post, I think. Thanks for the heads up.

We haven't heard the worst of the atrocities yet. Give it a few weeks or months.
