I remember watching the exercise yard with MCDONALD...this was indeed a 'different world'...of warring warlords...the guards had guns...a sort of 'firebell' rang when the men had to vacate the exercise yard...nobody dared to intervene during 'exercise time'...and sometimes dead bodies had to be removed afterwards...a different world indeed...no guard would have dared to walk in there...so no 'fights' or mobbings were stopped...Islamic warlord culture for you...the REAL THING.

MCDONALD and CO gave GILL and OBAMA a fighting chance...we made sure that their Arabic was up to it - before we put them in there.

"They're jumping on him again" I remarked to MCDONALD as I saw GILL being mobbed again by 4 men...

MCDONALD replied that this was because he looked 'Western' whereas OBAMA looked 'African' and the Islamics didn't like that either...

Anyway, GILL and OBAMA were told that their 'mission' was to learn everything that they could about IRANIAN ISLAMIC SOCIETY and from the grassroots up. GILL only lasted 2 1/2 weeks...OBAMA lasted 3...a stronger character.

Once let out - they were quarantined and made to write a 'thesis' under the heading of:

THE SEVEN PILLARS OF WISDOM (what they had learnt during their sojourn in an Iranian gaol)

ROZ marked the essays.

OBAMA was 'never quite the same' after that one - no more the jokey 'smooth-talker'...he began to take life and his 'root system' beliefs a bit more seriously...nothing should be taken for granted and did he really want to fight for an Islamic NWO if he was going to be placed at the 'grassroots' of it all - or would he prefer a WESTERN style of government and culture?
