Abdulrahman Zeitoun

http://www.journeyintoamerica.wordpress.com/
An in-depth interview between Abdul Rahman and with Ambassador Akbar Ahmed in New Orleans. Abdulrahman's heroic story of saving lives turned tragic and shocking after he was arrested and held for three weeks in a prison, fed only pork, sleep deprived, strip-searched, and then questioned for being terrorist. Dave Eggers' new book Zeitoun centers around this man's experience.

I just finished listening to audio book "Zietoun" well written, capitivating, and reveals, first hand through the experiences of this man, how our civil rights have completely erroded as well as the indifference many Americans show toward each other. Thankyou Abdulrahman!!

I recommend reading the excellent book "Zeitoun" by Dave Eggers, which chronicles the story of what happened to Abdulrahman, his wife Kathy and their family during and after Hurricane Katrina.

I wrote this comment in your wife's video too. I read your book and want to comment on Kathy's illness. I had the same symptoms: numbness, fogginess, and I even had numbness in my face I had tests and the doctor could not find out what it was. I started taking Vitamin B12 and (not for the symptoms, but because a friend said Vegetarians should take them. They symptoms disappeared after a while and I've been taking them for 2 years now and they never returned.
