most ruling familys in the Arab World do this and its especially a fact well known in the United States who liked to deliver prisoners to them for “special treatment”. The video is shocking but extremely mild in comparison what these people really do (burning of genitals , cutting of fingers and worse thing which I dont even dare to spell out). The usage of torture from official ruling these countries is vast vast vast.

May he rot in hell, and hopefully justice will be done on this Earth, and Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan will receive twice the amount of torture some day.

It seems that the 25 torture videos are just the beginning. As I had learn a book titeld Dubai The Maktoum Story by John M. Smith is going to be released in the US in May 2009.

The torture video came from Abu Dhabi but the new book will effect now the ruling family around Sh. Mohammeb bin Rashid Al Maktoum & Sh. Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, with even more torture details.

It will not only effect business in the UAE but also the newly build tourism industry will get a bad imgage of the country.
