Certainly, he was at Abu Ghraib, and appears with a
hood over his head in some photographs that Army
investigators seized from the computer belonging to
Specialist Charles Graner, the soldier later convicted
of being the ringleader of the abuse.

specific photograph he printed and held up in a
portrait that accompanied the Times article.

Susan Burke, a lawyer in Philadelphia who is
representing Mr. Qaissi and other former prisoners in
a lawsuit against civilian interrogators and
translators at Abu Ghraib, said that Mr. Qaissi had
been abused in the same way as the man in the photo.
"The sad fact is that there is not only one man on the
box," she said.
