Images Continued...

Zeitoun talks about how his neighbors were emptying out by this point, and he didnt have many people to help out. He debated whether or not to head over to St. Charles and Napoleon St. to ask the aid workers how he could help out or get out of the city.







Below is a picture of the famous train station (which also held a military base) in which Zeitoun and his friend Todd were held for apparently being terrorists. In the cage, they were held at gunpoint by two M-16's. They were both in disbelief


























The picture below depicts the lifestyle of the prisoners at Guantanamo Bay Prison. Zeitoun depicts the prison he was put in to be very similar to this prison. He describes the wire fencing, makeshift fences, and small individual cells where he is held. This description seems identical to the cells to the right.



















This picture (to the left) describes the situation that happened to a man held in the prison with Zeitoun. After he refused to get up and move to the middle of the cage, the guards came in, pulled him out, and pepper sprayed his entire body. Then, they through him back in the cage. Todd stated that: "You have to wash the pepper spray off otherwise you get burned, blistered" (234)
