“A person, no matter his nationality, is a human being.”

    The story of a very courageous and compassionate Iraqi lawyer, who risked his life and the safety of his family so that a 19-year-old American POW might be rescued.

    “‘My heart cut,’ Mohammed added, putting his hand over his chest and grimacing. ‘There, I have decided to go to Americans to give them important information about the woman prisoner.
    “‘[…] Believe me, not only I, all the people of Iraq, not the people in the government, like Americans,’ Mohammed said. ‘They want to help the Americans, but they are all afraid.’”
