Mohammed Tyson
I was out at Charlie Battery last night when Supercop brought in Mohammed Tyson zip-stripped--he was the young Iraqi interpreter that I filmed with the detainee last time. They say he has been taking photographs of vehicles and passing intelligence on to an insurgent cell. If it is true, he is responsible for at least four deaths.
All this disturbs me--I don't know who to believe anymore. A few months ago, I was riding around with him and we shared cigarettes. He was well liked by the soldiers. Last trip, they were out capturing insurgents who were supposed to be trying to kill them. Now this. Some of the soldiers think he is innocent, most think he was involved, but they don't know to what extent. They say he'll be sent to Abu Ghraib. Nothing is black and white here anymore.
