Your story has affected me deeply, and I wish to tell you how angry I am at those responsible for your ordeal. I also wish to warn you that you must be very careful from here on.
The people who did this to you are still your enemies. You have also made many more enemies, for reasons that have nothing to do with you, or the issues of torture and injustice. They believe there are ‘larger issues’, and if they think you are in the way, they will have no qualms about putting you thru another ordeal if it suits their purpose.
At the same time, there are people who are sympathetic, but not so sympathetic that they won’t try to use you to further their ‘larger issues’. They will lionize and flatter you until you don’t recognize yourself, and they are also your enemies.
You shouldn’t get caught between these two groups, for that will surely increase your anger and make you despair of justice. This is what American politics is today, and Canadian politicians also have their agendas.
There are many, many people who are sincere in their wish to help you achieve justice, and there is a chance that you may get it eventually. I believe it is not as important as trying to keep your family in a safe, quiet place so that all of you can deal with the scars and wounds. You seem to have kept your sanity so far, and that is a very good start.
I wish I could do something more than offer you advice, which I’m sure you have had enough of. I wish I could give you and your wife a hug and buy ice cream for your kids.
I wish I could say “Never again”.
Sincerely
One American
