We are more than 100 American citizens who are held hostages in a foreign country. And we all know that this country would not have been survived without the American forces support. So, is this what we get in return?

Also, I want to bring to your attention that because of the nature of our job as linguists, supporting the American forces, we deal with very sensitive documents, attend important meetings, and get involved in critical discussions. Due to the pressure of Al Shoura on us and because of the lack of support from our employer GLS and the military, we don't want to have to resort to find illegal ways to get out of this ordeal putting the American forces in jeopardy. As an example, one of the linguists was offered the chance to leave Kuwait illegally using a fabricated passport of another foreign country, but we know better than to break the law.

We hear and see in the eyes of the Kuwaiti the joy of defeating the American citizens by humiliating them and controlling their life.

Last but not least, unfortunately, the tax payers lose millions of money in supporting the sponsorship system in Kuwait. We are the ones who are employed to work for the American forces, following the Kuwaiti law and dealing with the corruption in this country.
