Missing Detainees

From 9-11 Encyclopedia:

Thousands of detainees being held secretly by the government or wiretaps on prisoners' conversations with their lawyers. Only a few of the stories, which started a public debate, increased on the advisability of using torture to make suspects. Even the NY Times reported in November 2001, that "it is time the White House stepped in"

Various cases had been hidden in some reports in US papers, the rest had been made public on many progressive websites only. Finally in April 2002, the Washington Post was one of the first papers, who revealed one of the most controversial cases: "Anser Mehmood, 42, a Pakistani immigrant, said that shortly after his arrival at MDC, prison guards shoved his face into the wall, bloodying his lip, and threatened to kill him if he spoke. 

After he was strip-searched, Mehmood said, a guard asked him: "Do you know why you're here?" 
"Yes. I overstayed my visa," Mehmood said he replied. "No," the guard told him. "You are a World Trade Center suspect." 

Mehmood said he was held for 123 days in the Special Housing Unit before being cleared by the FBI and moved into the general population,
a transition he described as "going from hell to heaven. When I came out, it was like I was a human being again."

But Mehmood was only the tip of the iceberg. The Village Voice released one of the letters of detainee Said Hammouda (January 30, 2002 from a federal prison in Brooklyn): "I am now in solitary confinement for the past three months and a half...By Allah, if it wasn't for the Qu'ran and the Salat I may lose my mind or have a nervous breakdown. This is the picture of the situation that I am in . . . extreme pressure . . . and killer stillness. By Allah dear Ahmed, if suicide was not forbidden religiously, I would have done it a long time ago."

Not only disgusting, but odd is the story of Lotfi Raissi, former material witness of the September 11th attack and the official teacher of Pentagon pilot Hani Hanjour, Lotfi Raissi (->), who was innocent in jail for 4 months. If he was indeed unguilty, then who was the teacher of Hani Hanjour or better: who was the real "pilot" of the plane? More bizarre, the former so called "20th hijacker" (before Moussaoui took over this title), Mohammed Azmath  was innocent in prison for 1 year (!). He told his story to New Yorks' Village Voice, after he was released. Same to Agus Budiman (->), Osama Awadallah (->), Anser Mehmood, Shakir Baloch, Mohammed Azmath (->) and Syed Gul Mohammad Shah, who (or their friends) leaked their stories to the press.
