Marwan Speaks About Kidnapping - 2 - 10.23.2006

"Last week you heard the details of the events surrounding Marwan Ghassan’s kidnapping. As we said then, this is the second most upsetting news a media organization can receive.The first being of a correspondent’s death. This week Marwan provides more specific details about the questioning and events that happened during the three days he was held captive.

Marwan’s story provides an intimate look into the workings of sectarianism, and the way these ideas are constructed by the various factions involved in the Iraq conflict. Kidnapping is a daily reality and Marwan is only one of many Iraqis to have been kidnapped in the three and a half years since the war began."
