Trauma Updated

 Shortly after Saeed was convicted of being a member of some unknown terrorist group we learned this information about the men tortured at the black sites. The bottom line is not difficult to understand- these men, like Saeed, have life time trauma from their experience. And now the Algerian government, with the help of the U.S. State department, is inflicting more trauma on Saeed.

I am learning more details of the so-called trial in Algeria and it is heart wrenching. Saeed was forced to relive his trauma and of course nothing he said was believed. 

In the end  Saeed had two good attorneys that worked hard for him. Originally I was not so impressed with his Court appointed attorney but I have learned more about that court appointed attorney and I have revised my opinion of her. 

The other attorney was an attorney who was located by an Algerian attorney in Canada. I understand he is exceptional as well.

I cannot practice law in Algeria, but I have been doing everything I can to help his attorneys. And I will continue to do so. 

But what the fuck State department? You should all be ashamed of yourselves.
