>>In one of the photos, Faisal's 29-year-old son, Hamad, has a head that is so badly crushed that it resembles a smashed eggplant; skin that has been burned a marbled brown; and a mouth that appears to be full of ash, but almost empty of teeth. In another photo, Faisal's 27-year-old nephew, Khalad, has several thick black stripes down his back. Perhaps, an observer speculated, he was beaten with a red-hot whip; perhaps he had been pressed into a red-hot metal chair. In some of the other photos, the victims are missing one forearm. . . . . When the blindfold was removed, he saw the Asian-featured faces of his captors and in his mind registered them initially as Japanese. Instantly realizing that that could not be, he figured that they must be from Central Asia, perhaps Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, or Chechnya. Jesus. What a mess.
