Damn right they are, and that's about the only thing Flogging the Simian has right on their website.

Yeah, we are Super Patriots. And like every page on this website says, that's about the only thing those idiots at Floggin the Simian got right. 

You see, they used that name to disparage us and discredit us, and basically to piss us off.  They thought "Super Patriots" was a slur.  They acted towards us the same way bigots acted towards the black Army Air Corps pilots (Tuskegee Airmen), calling them niggers.  But then later, African-Americans took that word as their own badge of honor calling themselves by that name and throwing it in the face of the small-minded racists, just as we now throw "SuperPatriots" in the face of the frauds at Flogging the Simian. 

They refer to heroes like Commander Ahmad Shah Massoud as "La La" Massoud, because they think that's cute and funny.  Massoud fought the communists that engaged in a pattern of savage genocide against his people and destroyed his country.  Massoud gave his life fighting the Taliban and al-Qaida, and was assassinated by Osama Bin Laden on September 9, 2001, just two days before 9/11 because Bin Laden knew he couldn't win in Afghanistan with Massoud still alive.   The Floggin Frauds (they are simply frauds) call great statesmen like Ambassador Massoud Khalili, also critically wounded by al-Qaida in their assassination of Commander Massoud, a variety of names, from warlord to murderer.  The fact is that Ambassador Khalili is a kind and gentle man who is deeply spiritual, and writes beautiful poetry dedicated to his people and their battle against tyranny.  A better man you will not find.  Massoud Khalili is a statesman of the highest order.  In fact, this past summer he spoke at Harvard, at the JFK School of Government.  Obviously someone agrees with us. 

We wonder what Flogging the Simian would have called Generals Ward and Chenault and their Flying Tiger Squadron that answered the call to duty and fought the Japanese with General Chiang-Kai-Shek's Nationalist Chinese Army to stop their slaughter of innocent people, long before the US ever entered the war.  By the end of WWII the irregulars in the Flying Tigers had racked up a far better scorecard in defense of America then the "official" Army Air Corps.

The Floggin people disparage anyone and everyone that believes in freedom, and the battle against oppression.  These are people that fought by America's side for years against evil, real evil, the sort of evil that precipitated 9/11 and the massacre of thousands of American civilians.  The Floggin Frauds call General Boykin "Bonkers" because of his religious beliefs.   Well, "SOJ" at Floggin belongs in Romania, its a great place for him or her or them.  A Godless country that has followed communism for fifty years, and tyranny for five hundred years.  America is a land where freedom of choice, religion, and beliefs are the core values of our forefathers.  A place where heroes and patriots have shed their blood in defense of our country, and countless other countries, to liberate the oppressed.  The people at Flogging the Simian don't deserve to live in America.

So, when this individual calls us "SuperPatriots" and expects us to be angry, guess what?  We aren't (well, maybe Jack is).  We are super-patriots.  And now we have taken that intended slur and co-opted it as the best way to sum up what we are all about.  Freedom, opposition to tyranny, the defeat of terrorism wherever it may be, wherever it may flourish, wherever it may breed.  At least we believe in something.  And at least we are willing to give our lives for what we believe in.  So, with apologies in advance to our readers, #%#@ off Flogging.  We thank you for your slur, we embrace it, and now we co-opt it as our own.  You don't own the word, you never did, but now we do.

What we really find interesting is that Mariah Blake at Columbia Journalism Review (the supposed seat of ethics for the Journalism industry, "ethics" in journalism, now there is an oxymoron) thinks it is unethical for us to sell our pictures legally, yet she has no problem writing lies and getting paid for them--  do we smell Jason Blair at the NY Times?  So let us see if we have this straight...  it's ok for that little thief to make money off stories filled with lies, to steal documents from our office, to steal copyrighted pictures, pay off sources, get cash bribes from sources Jack is suing, and get paid for all of it in the name of journalism.  But it is not OK for us to sell pictures to pay for food, medical supplies and a dozen other things that help the Afghan people.  Well thief, see you in court.  By the way Mariah, Ed says your ethics and lies will make you a big hit over at ABC.  Go ahead, read this to the jury.  Unlike you, Jack won't lie about it, he will embrace it.

Oh, and about the Special Forces flag Ed, Brent, and Zorro are holding above-- a guy from Fort Bragg sent it to us.   And in case anyone believes that crap on "the other" website, the fact is Jack is a Green Beret.  He has been one since he was 18 years old, and kicked a lot of people's asses over the years that said he wasn't.  Below is a picture from his graduation day in 1975 outside USAIMA (United States Army Institute For Military Assistance, as it was called then) Student Barracks on Smoke Bomb Hill at Fort Bragg.  And by the way, these are Jack's real classmates- some of those "sources" that claim they went through selection with Jack either flunked out or Jack never heard of them.  Obviously, if you've browsed around this website, then you already know that Jack is the one in sunglasses (Raybans of course).  So who you gonna believe, some punks hiding in Romania that are afraid to even divulge their names, and hide behind phony domain registrars and a phony background, or are you to believe your own eyes?

We are the SuperPatriots, in a way, we always have been, and things have a way of working out just when people least expect it.  Ed often says, Jack is unbreakable, well he is.  And we are all doing fine.

Where Are We and How Are We Doing?

Well, we are living well now, but no matter how luxuriously we may live now, for the first three months we were tortured, starved, beaten, chained, got one bath a month if we were lucky, and were not allowed any contact with family, friends, or the outside world.  If we even attempted to even say hello to each other, passing in chains, we were beaten-- NO contact was allowed throughout the trial.

We were inside Saderat, the FBI/NDS facility that is used to "legally" torture anyone and everyone they chose to.  This might be the only picture in existence of what Saderat looks like.  Believe us when we tell you that it is a horrible place where FBI agents and Karzai agents are free to inflict all of the pain and suffering they chose, and no one can stop them.  Six men, al-Qaida and Taliban, sleep in a cell that is 8 feet by 6 feet.  We were split up, one with each group of terrorists.  There was not enough room for everyone to sleep at one time, you would actually be laying down overlapping each other on the floor.

Jack was personally chained and beaten by Taliban Guards and Karzai agents (believe it folks-  why do you think Karzai is bringing back the Taliban in all his new government posts?).  We all lost about twenty pounds each, Jack lost thirty.  We were fed two cups of rice a day and one piece of bread.  Our teeth were broken both by torture, and by the bones in the rice.  Brent has lost three teeth so far, Jack lost one, Ed's are broken.  Quite frankly, it couldn't get any worse.  All of this was orchestrated, funded, and done by, or for, American FBI agents in Afghanistan.  FBI Agents were present during several torture sessions.  In other words folks, the prosecution never presented any evidence that we tortured anyone, because we didn't, but the FBI was glad to watch us being tortured.  Jack was beaten to the point of two hemorrhaged eyes, a partially detached retina, two torn rotator cuffs, and multiple lacerations and bruises.  Additionally Jack had boiling water poured between his legs and received second degree burns.  The United States Consul, Sandra Ingram was not only aware of this torture, but witnessed the effects.  Her response was to order the medical team rewrite the report to "soften it up."

Major Ezmerai (one of Jack's Close Protection Officers and an employee of the Ministry of Defence) was electrocuted for three days, during which time his screams could be heard in the streets of Kabul.   During the trial the press took pictures of one of the terrorist's legs, supposedly when one of them showed a bruise.  We could see no bruise, nor could a bruise be seen in any picture.  The terrorist did in fact have bruises on his ankles, from where he tried to break the flex cuffs right after his arrest.  However, although the press was shown the actual electrical torture burns on Major Ezmerai's hands, not one single press agency every reported it or photographed it.

Lieutenant Rasuli "Zorro," Jack's principle interpreter, and a Ministry of Defence employee, was chained for four weeks 24/7 after he informed Jack that the court interpreter was translating his words with the Taliban judge intentionally incorrect.  Zorro was beaten, tortured, chained with handcuffs (American Handcuff Company in Wisconsin- US FBI Contract Cuffs), and placed in Taliban Leg Irons day and night.  He was told if he ever translated for Jack again he would be executed and his family arrested and tortured.  Zorro continued to secretly whisper to Jack in court and continued to be threatened.  When Zorro was freed by the Afghan Appeals Court and Supreme Court, he refused to leave us and is still with us now.

Sherzai, one of our house staff, was beaten, tortured, threatened, then, when he still refused to sign a confession, he was given Valium and, once drugged, they forced his thumbprint on several confessions.  Of course they forgot to consider the fact that he is illiterate- most of Afghanistan is illiterate due to 23 years of war.  When we proved this in a hearing in December 2004, the new appeals court judges apologized, and admitted that this happened often in Bakhtyari's Court (the first Taliban Judge).

On September 16, 2004, the Northern Alliance controlled Ministry of Justice took us out of NDS custody and moved us to Pulacharke Prison.  Since that time, the Minister of Justice, an American Ally during the war (since fired by Karzai) has insured our exceptional treatment.  We have a nice suite (shown in the pictures on this page), a private bedroom, a conference room, DVD, VCR, Sat TV, private kitchen, computer, printer, and carpet.   For this we are grateful.  Some people object to this, and think we should continue our life in a mud cell, tortured and starved everyday. 

Jack asked the Minister's Special Advisor why they were doing this for us; why we were all of a sudden being treated so well.  The response was; "One day the world will know the truth.  One day all of the people of Afghanistan will know the sacrifices you made for our country and our freedom.  For now, let me say, that some of us already know, and you will be treated in accordance with the sacrifices you made for our country and our people."

Yes, we have a luxury suite.  These are the only pictures of it we let be published.  The 1949 Geneva Conventions, Articles 44 & 45 state that quarters for POWs will be provided with regard to their rank and that they will be treated with due regard for their rank.  The Ministry of Justice and Northern Alliance insured that this requirement was adhered to.   Therefore, we were given UFMF (Northern Alliance) Commander equivalent quarters.  And quite frankly, we are treated better than we would ever be treated by our own country.  While the FBI fights to keep us in prison, and the US Ambassador is too busy collecting bribes, and the Taliban judges who put us here are laughing all the way to the bank (they got paid lots, and got new cars), and while our own government has completely disavowed us, left us to die, and destroyed and concealed all the evidence that would free us, the Northern Alliance, who fought bravely with American Special Forces during the war, has continued to protect us and keep us alive.  And we will be eternally grateful for how they have protected us and looked after us.

Unfortunately, all that being said, we are still prisoners of war, and have not seen our families in more than a year, have little contact with the outside world, and fight everyday for our survival-- four of our friends have died in the past six months, and five have been wounded keeping us alive during seven separate al-Qaida assassination attempts-- not once has our own government rendered any assistance or concern- instead, as usual, letting the Northern Alliance do their dying for them.

A Personal Message From Jack:
Free The Bears !!!!!!

Are we asking for your pity?  Or begging someone to get us out of here?  Hardly.  We're big boys, and we don't need anyone begging or crying for us, and that includes our families. 

We apologize to them for the pain it has put them through, but the reality is that war is hell.  We could be dead like 1350 Americans in Iraq.  So I guess we are in pretty damn good shape.  War is hell, your president told you that.  He told you this would be a long hard haul.  I never expected anything less.  Neither did Brent, Zorro, or my other guys.  As for Ed Caraballo, he is not a cameraman that I hired.  More bullshit from more lying journalists.  Ed Caraballo carried journalist ID from a major press organization (no, not CBS you idiots at Floggin) and he carried a NYPD Press ID Card, and a Geneva Convention Press ID Card (yes there is such a thing in spite of what some disenchanted loser in Romania says on his website).  Ed is not only a four-time Emmy Award winning producer, videographer and editor, but he has twenty-five years in the business and has worked for CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, BBC, HBO, UPN, National Geographic, and many others.  Journalists fail to mention that because all the third-string freelance losers writing about us will only see an Emmy on TV, and never in their living room.

During Christmas my wife sent us some Beenie Baby Bears.  The next day I was telling someone that Brent, Zorro, and I would be content to stay here as long as we could get Ed out, after all, he has already been completely cleared of entering this country illegally, in writing, and cleared of all charges verbally, and it is common knowledge that he didn't participate in anything we really did, and certainly none of the insane things we were accused of by the terrorists (they were terrorists, and still are), so he shouldn't be here.  Ed turned around and said, "Hey forget me, free the bears.  Now they're in prison too, we got to get them out before al-Qaida kills a couple of innocent stuffed bears."  There you have it.  Forget us, free the damn bears.

We all hope you enjoy this site.  We never would have done this if it wasn't for Floggin the Simian-- so for all your lies, thank you.   And one last thing; yeah, we live good, so fuck you Flogging the Simian, and fuck you too FBI Director Mueller.
