Memories

This guy looks like:
my father (with more hair)
an uncle or two
my criminal law professor
an ex-boyfriend, in 20 years


Ah, so sad. His name is Ali Qaissi, and he's only 43, and he says he's the guy in the picture he's holding, and now he's a prisoners' rights activist. "I forgive the people who did these things to us," he told the reporter. "But I want their help in preventing these sorts of atrocities from continuing."


I find this picture odd-- given Qaissi's superhuman magnamity and that he's worked so hard to recover his dignity and to help restore it to thousands of detainees, why are his eyes downcast?
