Okay, so I like started this around.. the beginning of April I think? I started getting bored of it and wanted to raise my stats up. Then Kana and I decided to get 99 Agility. (Which we did, July 20th) ^^ I’d also like to say that I never intentionally made the video for the contest. It just was a coincidence that my video had so many synced emotes. o.O Sooo, I decided to finish it after I saw Mithzan’s contest and was just like “OH HEY! I HAVE A BUNCH OF SYNCED EMOTES IN MY VIDEO! I should finish it! xD” The only reason I rushed this was cause I’m leaving on vacation today and I’m not getting back 2 days till after the contest is over. Soooo yeah, hope you guys enjoy it. It took me some time to get a bunch of people to help, but thanks to everyone! Also, thanks to Ashley (Carrott555) for telling me about this song. I also would like to say, I never expected this video to do so well. But frankly, I don’t care if it was or wasn’t, I made this purely for my amusement, improvement, and entertainment. ^^

November 2005
As the ‘hooded man’ in the infamous Abu Ghraib pictures, Haj Ali became an icon of everything that was wrong with the US occupation. He tells his story and we hear from other prisoners

“They stretched my hands in this position and attached the wires to them”, states Haj Ali. “It felt like my eyes were popping out. I couldn’t stand it.” He spent three months being physically and psychologically tortured at Abu Ghraib. Interrogators wanted him to use his knowledge as a community leader to inform on other people. “They said ‘give us the name of anyone you hate and we’ll see it as co-operation and help you.’” In a nearby cell, army general Abu Maan was also being interrogated. “They stripped me and took photos of me in degrading positions”, he recalls. Both men are angry that only junior officers have been disciplined for the abuse that went on at Abu Ghraib. Ilham al-Jumaili’s husband Munadel was tortured to death there. It’s his corpse that Sabrina Harman was photographed gloating over. “We didn’t expect America to take Munadel and never return him”, she laments. The victims of Abu Ghraib remain haunted by their experiences. In the words of Haj Ali “Only one thing has changed. The cameras have now disappeared The abuse still continues.”

This is the hotel that they put us in Medinah. I clearly remember Salim’s wife saying that it was a 5 star hotel but it was not. They hotel management would not clean the rooms and they unplugged all of the appliances. We had to pay the workers to turn on the washer and dryer. On our last day, a worker comes around and install TVs in our rooms.

Sami al-Hajj, a cameraman for Al Jazeera, had not tasted freedom since 2001.

But now he is in his homeland Sudan after spending six years at the US military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where he was held without charge or trial.

The frail and sick-looking man was delivered to the Sudanese authorities in Khartoum. There he had an emotional reunion with his family as he arrived at hospital.

Amr El-Kahky, who worked with al-Hajj before his imprisonement, went to meet him and sent this report.

After the bus drove us to Mecca from Medina without stopping for any prayers, Salim inspired everyone to make Umrah while the buses with our luggage drove off. Later that night we found the luggage in someone’s garage. Salim said that no hotel would ever except our luggage because (in my words) it was 3rd world. Did Salim even try to get us a hotel in Mecca - Allah only knows.
