And for a while I thought, give it to whoever is the most likely to have it. Right now it's Al Qaeda torturers. They're comporting themselves, you know, like relatively decently at the moment.

And they're taking prisoners now, as we can see across Twitter on video. They take the enemies of God and they put them in jail, and most of them they're going to kill because they believe a lot of the enemies are beyond redemption. But there's some, they think, like me, they were like, he's not so far gone that we can't redeem him.

But in order to redeem that person, it's like they put you... Why were you not so far gone? Because he spoke Arabic? Because their true enemies are the Alawites and the Shia. And those people are like beyond the pale. And they figured that I could possibly, like they didn't know what kind of sins I had committed in the past. My sin was being an American.

They felt that I was like a libertine that had gone around sleeping with women all the time. And also I was selfish. I wanted money. Why did you come to Syria? For journalism. Why do you want to do journalism? You wanted money. You wanted to advance yourself. You were like self-involved and self-interested. Well, you know, in a way it was true. I was dreaming of getting a commission for 200 bucks.

But they were like, you're greedy. Why can't you sacrifice yourself for the people like we're doing?

I met some people in Turkey, in Antakya, Turkey, and they said, listen, we are fixtures for journalists and we ourselves are journalists, which was kind of true. They were journalists for Jabhat al-Nusra. They were like doing the self-promotion for Jabhat al-Nusra. They took a lot of photographs and I eventually made friends with these guys on Facebook.

And, you know, I saw all their journalistic work, which it is a kind of journalism they're doing. But did you know their affiliation? No, they were like, they did not say, by the way, we're from Tanzim Al-Qaeda. That's what they call it, the Al-Qaeda system. But when we crossed the border, we slept the first night in like an abandoned house.
