...scooter that he drives to work, his iPod, his online virtual-reality avatar “Eon.” He plays online Poker and listens to Radiohead. He talks about Bob Marley. The professor’s words come slowly, but they are razor sharp, and they have the weight of consideration on them. “Something you need to remember about Charlie is that he says everything, no matter what it is, as if it’s the most interesting things you’re going to hear all day,” Meister says...

Two years ago, the town (pop. 3,600) celebrated the completion of the state-of-the-art private jail capable of holding 464 inmates.

It's different from the other compounds in this sprawling 100-acre, open-air U.S detention center close to the Kuwaiti border, the largest in Iraq, which houses a little over 10,000 of the 13,832 detainees currently in U.S custody. In other compounds hundreds of detainees mingle in expansive recreation yards, enjoy access to books, television and chess sets, and aren't locked in at night. There is noise...
