Struggle not against monsters, lest ye become a monster

mrquacker found this (original post here) on the Daily Mirror site.  It's the account of a British Muslim who went to Pakistan shortly after 9/11 to study Islam, strayed into Afghanistan by mistake on his way from there to Turkey, and spent two years in a US internment camp.  How the US can treat people like this without any proof of wrongdoing, and then stand up and tell the world with a straight face that we're fighting for the cause of freedom, is beyond me.  At the risk of invoking Godwin's Law, even the Nazis didn't torment Jews in the concentration camps by deliberately offending their religious beliefs.
