“Everyone who tortured me and kidnapped me, who imprisoned me, I have f...” — Mohamedou Ould Slahi Quote

Everyone who tortured me and kidnapped me, who imprisoned me, I have forgiven everyone. And I wish them, from the bottom of my heart, the best of lives.

I trusted the American justice system too much, and shared that trust with people from European countries. We all have an idea about how the democratic system works.

I'm threatened because of the amount of information I've provided to the United States.

And when 9/11 came, that was open season to violate human rights. And that's how I was kidnapped.

Humiliation, sexual harassment, fear and starvation was the order of the day until around 10 P. M. Interrogators made sure that I had no clue about the time, but nobody is perfect; their watches always revealed it.

Just about every weekend when I was growing up, we would throw rods and rifles and tents and shovels and pickaxes into the back of the truck and then head off to the side of a mountain or the bottom of a canyon. Hiking, fishing, hunting, rock-hounding: this is how my parents passed the time.

The perception is that the Stoke players were one-dimensional: that they could only play in a certain way, and that was the top and bottom of their capabilities.

The bottom line is that musicians love to make music and always will.

I didn't want to be the rebel who was bottom of the class, so I worked hard. They wanted me to stay on for A-Levels, but football came calling - that was my real love.
