'Freezing water'

"We all had another hood put on top of the first hood.

"We were given water by it being poured over the hood so that we had to lick the
droplets that seeped through the hood.

"Freezing water was poured on to us and this was very painful as the
temperatures in detention were 40 degrees plus."

Mr al-Mutari added: "Soldiers took turns in abusing us.

'Beaten severely'

"At night the number of soldiers increased, sometimes to eight at a time.

"We were prevented from sleeping throughout the three days as soldiers
introduced the 'names game'.

"Soldiers would mention some English names of stars or [football] players and
request us to remember them, or we would be beaten severely."

Mr al-Mutari said: "One terrible game the soldiers played involved kickboxing.

'Jabbing movements'

"The soldiers would surround us and compete as to who could kickbox one of us
the furthest.

"The idea was to try and make us crash into the wall."

Mr Mousa, who "appeared to have much worse ill-treatment than the others", was
then taken to another room, where he allegedly received more beatings.

Mr al-Mutari added: "On the third night Baha was in a separate room and I could
hear him moaning through the walls.

"He was saying that he was bleeding from his nose and that he was dying.

"I heard him say, 'I am dying... blood... blood...'.

"I heard nothing further from him after that."

Blood and bruises

A witness statement by Mr Mousa's father, Daoud Mousa, was also before the court.

In it he recalled seeing his son's body covered in blood and bruises: "He had a
badly broken nose. There was blood coming from his nose and mouth. The skin on
one side of his face had been torn away to reveal the flesh beneath.

"There were severe patches of bruising over all of his body. The skin on his
wrists had been torn off and the skin on his forehead torn away and there was no
skin under his eyes either.

"I literally could not bear to look at him."

The case continues.

Dog might have been just a little provoked.
4th Place:
Jerry Williams of Little Rock, Arkansas, was awarded
$14,500. and medical expenses after being bitten on
the buttocks by his next door neighbor's beagle. The beagle was on
a chain in its owner's fenced yard. The award was less than
sought because the jury felt the dog might have been
just a little provoked at the time by Mr Williams who had climbed
over the fence into the yard and was shooting it repeatedly with a pellet gun.

3rd Place:
A Philadelphia restaurant was ordered to pay Amber
Carson of Lancaster, Pennsylvania, $113,500. after she
slipped on a soft drink and broke her coccyx (tailbone). The
beverage was on the floor because Ms. Carson had thrown it at
her boyfriend 30 seconds earlier during an argument.

2nd Place:
Kara Walton of Claymont, Delaware, successfully sued
the owner of a night club in a neighboring city when she
fell from the bathroom window to the floor and knocked out
her two front teeth. This occurred while Ms. Walton was trying
to sneak through the window in the ladies room to avoid
paying the $3.50 cover charge. She was awarded $12,000 and dental expenses

1st Place:
This yeas runaway winner was Mrs. Merv Grazinski of
Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. Mrs. Grazinski purchased a
brand new 32-foot Winnebago motor home. On her first trip home,
(from an OU football game), having driven onto the freeway,
she set the cruise control at 70 mph and calmly left the
driver's seat to go into the back & make herself a
sandwich. Not surprisingly, the RV left the freeway, crashed and
overturned. Mrs.Grazinski sued Winnebago for not advising her in the
owner's manual that she couldn't actually do this. The
jury awarded her $1,750,000. plus a new motor home. The
company actually changed their manuals on the basis of this
suit,just in case there were any other complete morons around.
