UAE Prince Tortures Man to Near-Death; ABC News Anchor Terry Moron Compares it to U.S. "Torture" of Terrorists; UPDATE: Video Fixed
By Debbie Schlussel
Wednesday Night, on ABC News' "Nightline," investigative reporter Brian Ross showed a chilling--but not surprising--tape of Sheikh Issa bin Zayed al Nahyan, a prince in the United Arab Emirates' ruling royal family, brutally torturing a man within inches of his life. Sheikh Issa's brother Mohammed is the Crown Prince of the U.A.E. More details on the video and the story behind it here.
The man being beaten, held down, and shot at by Sheikh Issa is a farmer, who the prince claims cheated him out of $5,000 of grain. For that alleged slight, Prince Issa forces the man to eat sand, beats him with a wooden plank with a nail on it, shoots at him, pours lighter fluid on the man's testicles and sets them aflame, drives a nail through his buttock flesh, electrocutes him with a cattle prod, and then repeatedly runs over him with an SUV.
