I don't think his standards for good treatment are in agreement with mine. If he was blindfolded for 12 days I assume that means his arms were also bound since he'd be able to take off his blindfold otherwise.

The Techcrunch article does fairly mention the interview was for Egypts On TV.

I linked to the techcrunch article for the accompanying transcripts and links, in addition to the embedded video.

I can't help but compare his treatment to the enemies of the state that the good 'ol US of A captures. Being blindfolded for 12 days sounds like it sucks. Im really glad they didn't do much worse.

Under Bush and continuing under Obama we have a program of "extraordinary rendition" where we send detainees to be tortured. The new VP of Egypt, Omar Suleiman, whom we are backing as an "acceptable" transition leader, has been the head of the Egyptian side of this torture program.
