Sex and Torture @ Gitmo

Wow . .  maybe the next 24 hour episode should be on
this, but I am waiting to see the HBO version starring
Angela Jolie. Actually, it is sad but true.

Revealed: sex and torture inside the wire

January 28, 2005 - 1:58PM

Female interrogators tried to break Muslim detainees
at Guantanamo Bay by sexual touching, wearing a
miniskirt and thong underwear and in one case smearing
a Saudi man's face with fake menstrual blood,
according to an insider's written account.

A draft manuscript obtained by The Associated Press is
classified as secret pending a Pentagon review for a
planned book that details ways the US military used
women as part of tougher physical and psychological
interrogation tactics to get terror suspects to talk.

The book, which Saar titled Inside the Wire, is due
out this year with Penguin Press.

'Dr Jones' is Dead

Veteran actor Amrish Puri is no more. Most people recall him as the Crazy priest Mola Ram (nice Hindu-Muslim name for introverted and geo politically stupid Hollywood script writers) in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom. His dialogue that sent chills up the audience spines (as well as monkey brain eating Hindus - most Indians are vegetarian, another brilliant example of Spielberg’s adventure script writing).

His rise to fame was as Mogambo in Mr. India. As a megalomaniac baldy he was famous for saying 'Mogambo Khush huwa'. My sis liked him as a cruel father in some cheesy Bollywood domestic drama called Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (Big Hearts Will Win Their Brides.... yes they really are this stupid)

My favorite role for Amrish Puri remains as the villain J.K in Shakti. The film billed as clash of titans in 1982. I like to call it the last great Bollywood movie made, the downhill spiral started after that. It featured Dilip kumar and Amitab Bachan as estranged Father and Son.He made many cheesy Bollywood movies, sometimes he would have long hair, sometimes he would be dressed up as a Sufi saint as in Shaheed Udam Singh. He played loud, crude and obnoxious characters and enjoyed playing a villain. My personal favorite line from one of the greatest screen villains remains

'Black Dog pee kai meray under ka kala kuta bhonknay lagta hai'

'Drinking Black Dog (whiskey) makes my inner black dog howls'

An Inspiration to us all - Abdus Sattar Edhi

This guys should have been on a short list for a Nobel peace Prize, but he keeps getting over looked, but not just by the Zionist conspiracy (which seems to run the world in the eyes of Muslims), but by Pakistanis as well. Is he up there with Dalia Lama, I would think so, but if not Nobel Prize can he be at least in an Apple Billboard?

I saw an exhibition in Stanford called Faces of Inspiration. They had Mother Teresa, Gandhi, Dalia Lama, and other peace visionary, but no Sattar Edhi. I wonder when I am going to see him on Hwy 101?

An Inspiration for Pakistanis
By Ras H. Siddiqui


One can ignore numerous people in Pakistan from a journalist’s viewpoint. But when it comes to the keepers of the welfare of literally thousands of citizens of a relatively poor country (by many standards) no visitor to Karachi at least can forget the presence of Abdul Sattar Edhi and his wife Bilquis. Thus my recent trip to our country of origin would not have been complete without a meeting with Mr. Edhi and I made it a point to try and locate him at Kharadar (Salty Gate) or Mithadar (Sweet Gate), some of the most overcrowded and hard to reach parts of Pakistan’s largest city.
