American captive
The father of Iraqi journalist Ibrahim Jassam displays his picture at their house in Mahmudiya, 30 km (20 miles) south of Baghdad, September 1, 2009. On Sept. 2, 2008, U.S. and Iraqi troops smashed in the doors of Jassam's home, shouting "freeze" and holding back snarling dogs before they hauled him off into the night in his underwear. A year later, neither Jassam and his family nor global news agency Reuters, which employed him as a freelance TV cameraman and photographer, have been told exactly why he has been detained for all this time by U.S. military forces in Iraq. Picture taken September 1, 2009.
