He was appalled by the loss of innocent life. But he couldn’t possibly have predicted how much of his own life he, too, would lose because of that day. In a series of terrible events, Ahmed was sold by the Pakistanis to the Americans in the diplomatic lounge at Islamabad airport, and spent five and a half years in Guantanamo. There, he was beaten, tortured, humiliated, very nearly destroyed. But Ahmed did not give in. This very ordinary, Moroccan-born London chef became a leader of men. Known by the authorities as The General, he devised protests and resistance by any means possible. As a result, he spent most of his time in solitary confinement. But then, after all those years, Ahmed was...

Beyond Tolerance: Child Pornography on the Internet by Philip Jenkins Beyond Tolerance: Child Pornography on the Internet by Philip Jenkins PDF, ePub eBook D0wnl0ad Perhaps nothing evokes more universal disgust as child pornography.

And how can we stop this illegal activity, which is so repugnant that even the most laissez-faire cyberlibertarians want it stamped out, if we know nothing about it? Philip Jenkins takes a leap onto the lower tiers of electronic media in this first book on the business of child pornography online. He tells the story of how the advent of the internet caused this deviant subculture to become highly...

It is the sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland (1865).
