"One morning he was walking from the hotel to his truck when a National Guard truck pulled up. He was arrested on the spot, handcuffed, and brought to Camp Greyhound."
Why is the national guard just arresting everyone that they see?

# data[].attributes.body
Question #1 Ben: He asks the missionary
Question #2 Declan: Yes, he was pointing out a stereotype that at the time in that situation happened to be right. But it could also be that they were being profiled just like Zeitoun was.
Question #3 Brittany: He wasn't more persistant to get help even though he was in alot of pain because he knew they wouldn't help. They believed he was a terrorist or profiled him to be one, so to them he isn't worth helping. He is why 9.11 happened. He knows that no matter what he will be in pain or dead.

Zeitoun was led past them an into a small room. In the room there was two men wearing suits.

Who were these two men?

“He was pushing a cart of black books, and stopped a few cells away from Zeitoun’s . . . The books in his cart were bibles.”

Question:

Is it not strange that he finds faith within another religion, when trying to contact Kathy? But is this passage not displaying that you can find hope or faith in many places/people?

Bibles - He is muslim

page #259 "Her bail was set, by a judge calling by phone, at $50,000. The usual bail for such a misdemeanor would be $500.

" Zeitoun learned that most of those brought to Camp Greyhound had been arraigned in a more or less standard fashion. Most had been brought inside the bus station the morning after their arrest , and in an upstairs office, a makeshift court had been arranged. There had been a judge, and at least one lawyer. The arrestees were told their charges, and most of them were offered a deal" Why do the other prisoners get a lawyer and a trial but not Zeitnoun and his friends?

"They waited until eleven. No word. Twelve. Nothing. It wasn't until one o'clock that they were given notice that he would be release any moment."
How did Kathy feel at that moment?

ANSWERS
Ben: who did zeitoun ask to call? (missionary)
Declan: Was this him pointing out a stereotype, that ended up being true? (yes i think its because they were both racially profiled)
Andrew: What dose this say of the ideology of the USA? (they are the most important people in America)

"The judge set the bail at $75,000. That was the end of Zeitoun's hearing. The defender extended his hand to Zeitoun, and Zeitoun shook it. He was led out of the room as the defender opened the file for the next prisoner. On his way out,  Zeitoun again asked for a phone call. The defender shrugged.
"But why set bail when I can't tell anyone I'm in prison?" Zeitoun asked. From the judge, the prosecutor, and defender, there was no answer." (Page 279)

Why are they having a hearing for bail if they won't even let him contact anyone for help?

"He had long believed that the people that the police acted in the best interests of the citizens they served. That the military was accountable, reasonable, and was kept in check by concentric circles of regulations, law, common sense, common decency. But now those hopes could be put to rest

"He did not want to talk about prison, He did not want to talk about Camp Greyhound. he was ashamed. Ashamed that hubris, if that was what it was, had caused all this. Ashamed that he had been handcuffed, stripped, caged, treated like an animal. He wanted to erased from their lives" (296)
How far is Zeitoun willing to go to forget all that?

# data[].attributes.body
Zeitoun did not entertain such thoughts lightly. They went against everything he knew and believed about his adopted country. But then again, hew know the stories. Professors, doctors and engineers had all been sized and disappeared for months and years in the interest of national security.
Why not a house painter?

What dose this say of the ideology of the USA.

The pain in his side felt like a “ screw being twisted slowly into his kidney” pg 249. If he is in so much why is he not more persistent to get help with the guards that something is wrong?
