The Military Dilemma in Burma

You were arrested by the military, and taken in. But they let you go, eventually they did. Why didn't they torture you a little bit? Probably you would have caved really easily at that point. And so one of the things that i think sat very heavily with me when i left was the recognition that the other people whom i had seen at the detention centere were not afforded that same human dignity,. simply because i did have an american passport.
