masbury says:

Held for 6.5 years, tortured, no charges or trial, now seriously ill. Arrested while traveling thru Pakistan to an assignment for Al Jazeera. "I'm very sad because of the condition of our brothers who remain." Flown home in chains, faces no charges there.
"True peace," he says, "does not come through military force ... Justice comes from lifting oppression ..." Unbelievable. Outrageous. Who will be called to account for this crime?
