Outside Reading #2

This post is pages 1 to 30. Right from the get go this book makes you dislike the U.S. government. The U.S. government with help from the Pakistani government, seized Begg in February of 2002. According to the United States, they arrested him on assumptions that he had relations with Al-Qaeda and he was recruiting other civilians into the group. Begg was kidnapped from his home in the middle of the night and taken to a strange prison like building. He was interrogated many times and each time he told the truth and said he had no connections to Al- Qaeda. All he wanted to know was how his family was doing. they gave him no answers to this question. So far I like this book because the U.S. is so biased and makes us think that most muslims are bad and terrorists. But this book shows us the other side of the war on terror and how the U.S. makes decisions based on assumptions instead of cold hard facts. I think it is scary how the U.S. will kidnap someone based on their thoughts of that person. they should always be a hundred percent positive on who and what they are accusing.
