know your rights, all three of them:
Welcome to your rights as an American citizen detained under mistaken pretenses in Iraq. You have no right to an attorney to challenge the basis for your detention. You have the right to sleep on a worn foam mattress on a concrete floor. You have the right to florescent lighting blasting your cell at all times. You have the right to be kept in 50-degree conditions at all times. You have the right to be kept as long as the U.S. military determines you should be kept.

I'll be going to Iraq next month (insh'allah) and will be studying the terms of my embedding contract very carefully.
--Spencer Ackerman
This is a public service announcement. With guitars!

Still, the story is just astonishingly sick.
