Conversations with the Devil

Patterico has begun a fascinating series of posts giving us a bone-chilling look at the enemy, thanks to a man who studied them in a certain facility off the Florida coast. Take a gander.

"I know Zarqawi," the terrorist said to the American. "I am going to have Zarqawi cut off your family’s head while you watch. Then he will cut off your head."

The terrorist said it all in a matter-of-fact way, looking the American straight in the eye.

The American was not frightened. There was little danger that the terrorist was going to carry out his threat . . . at least any time soon.

The terrorist was a detainee at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, and the American was an Army nurse who worked with Guantánamo detainees with psychological and/or behavioral problems. For six months, he spoke with detainees on a daily basis, and built a rapport of sorts with some of the most troublesome terrorists at Guantánamo.

More details will be coming over the next few days as Patterico recounts his conversations with the Army nurse, who has looked the enemy in the eye -- and listened to what he has to say.

Read the whole thing.
