Request Career Training Information Knowledge Base
Alternate career for a current high school teacher? Currently I am a high school teacher (previously taught middle school), and am pursuing a Master's degree in teaching. Here's the problem - I hate my job (aspects of it). Every day I leave with a pounding headache and my stress level is so high it's impacting my personality and social aspects of my life. I LOVE teaching, but the majority of my day is spent attending to discipline problems, emailing parents that request information about their student, filling out paper work for special ed students, attending meetings, re-writing curriculum, etc. The smallest part of my day is spent teaching. Does anyone know of career options that would be suitable for an educator? I'm willing to work on a college campus and still within the realms of education. Also, I have a high degree of training in conflict resolution, leadership, nutrition and health. Any serious ideas are pleasantly welcomed. Thanks for your time.
How do you become a real estate agent?? Ok, I'm thinking about changing my whole outlook on a career, mostly because i HATE my job and it's going no where fast. I want to get into real estate because after applying for job after job that I know I'll hate, I've decided that would be interesting. Here's the thing, I don't know how to start. Should I get the license first? Would companies hire you and train you while you go to classes? How does it work traditionally? I've been on the big companies websites and requested information, but haven't received anything yet. Just need a little inspiration from someone who's been there. THANKS!!
Just another moron requesting information about Option 40? Hi I'm 21 years old and I want to join the Army next year. Like many people who post these questions on Yahoo Answers I'm interested in a Ranger Contract. First off, before I start jumping the gun, How many years Active do you have to sign up for? I heard that it is a minimum of 4 years but I have also heard from others that you can get it with only 3 Years. Also, can someone explain to me what Option 40 entails. To my understanding I hear that if you have an 11X series MOS or any other MOS that the 75th Ranger Regiment accepts you most likely go to BCT, Fort Benning if your Infantry, and AIT combined making that about 15 weeks plus reception. Then directly after the graduation ceremony you will go Airborne hold or Airborne school for 3 weeks. Then after completing Jump school your off to RIP for another 3 weeks of fun (in a sixth layer of Hell kind of way) and If you pass you will be assigned to one of the 3 battalions that make up the 75th Ranger Regiment where you will train and be deployed until you have proven yourself worthy enough to earn a leadership position via being sent to Ranger School. About me: I'm from Chicago. I'm a high school graduate. I'm currently in Community College earning my Associate's Degree in Criminal Justice/Law Enforcement and will have it completed by the summer, and No I am not in any form of ROTC. By the time I finish this degree I will have 75 credit hours and that's what worries me. How would my college career effect my chances of acquiring the Ranger Contract. Some have told me that can't because the Army will not let me enlist as a private due to my education level. Other have told me it shouldn't be a problem and they'll probably only let enlist as a Specialist anyway. I really don't care what I enlist as. Can someone tell me what i need to know? when I meant how many years active do I have to sign up for I meant how many do I have to sign up for to get Option 40.

CCNA training institute in Delhi? Hi, I need to know the best institute in south delhi for ccna. I have to take certificate exam so I need a very gud institute with good lab and excellent faculty. Please suggest a good one. I also very humbly request to the ex-students who are now certified to let me know the best institute or the institute from where they took training. Ex-student of any institute please provide your independent and honest review about that institute. Let me know if there was a particular faculty who was good there or just any faculty can fetch good knowledge. Also when did you do your course from there. Kindly suggest people, as I don't want to end up choosing a pathetic institute where faculty keeps on changing and no one actually is certified or knowledgeable. Thank you very much for any information coming this way. Thanks a lot. RS PS: Please note that you may be answering this question for 10 points but its my career and other guys who will do google and found this. So, kindly be honest and suggest the best one you think. Thanks again..
What should my new career be? Others would say I have a great job- stimulating, good company, good hours, good pay, blah blah blah- but it’s just not me. In retrospect, I should’ve gone into medicine but I think that ship has sailed. Now that I’m in my 30’s, it’s time to stop bitching and to act. I’m not clear still on my ideal job though. My overall goal is to- Use current experience in pharma, accounting & systems analysis (OR get new training) to make decent money (90K+) working alone (writing/programming) or 1:1 (counseling) in a relaxed, liberal environment (education/clinical) in a big coastal city (Philadelphia) researching requests and responding with information.
Boeing 747 Captain Career? Okay, I'm 13 and I've been flying since I was 12. I fly a 1974 Cessna 172, and I currently have around 28 (most likely more) hours. My dream is to grow up and fly a 747. I've always wanted to be a pilot, and people say "well your mind will change a thousand times by the time you grow up", but that's not me! Flying, flying, flying. It's literally all I think about. I've read a few questions and this question really applies to skipper747. Others can answer too, just saying. Okay, so I want to ask what I need to do for college. Here is my plan so far. 16 - Student Pilots License (First Solo) -- I will be getting a 1998 (my birth year) Cessna 172R for my birthday. 17 - Private Pilots License, CFI, CFII, Multi-Engine Land 18 - Enroll into Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA for their Corporate/Commercial School of Aeronautics. While i'm in Liberty, I'll be taking Air Force ROTC Classes at UVa (University of Virginia) 19 & 20 - I'll be continuing the AF:ROTC Classes and the LU Classes, along with flying my private aircraft. 21 - Graduating from LU (CPL), Go into Air Force (I would like more information on how to do this) 22-28 - I would like to fly C5s or C17 (They are retiring the C5s, so i'll probably be flying the C17). So here's where the questions come in. What is involved in learning how to fly the C17s. I would have already had around 350 hours coming out of College into the USAF, so what is left to do to get to the C17. Could I just request them? Or do I come straight out going through training to work myself up. Will they pick my aircraft for me? I'm very confused on the AF part of it too. I was told you almost have to go into the AF in order to be a pilot of like a 737 up, for example. 28 - I would be out of the Air Force at this time, so I would probably have my ATP, and I guess around 3,500 or more hours. My plan is that when I apply for the airlines, I would have been flying a C17, not an F16 (where I would be making exotic turns, etc.), so that would be more like a 747 and they would hire me and put me on a 747. How does this work? Will I have to be certified for the 747? (I guess I have to be, but how much trouble is that?). Just please improve/delete anything in my plan. I really need help. If your a pilot (or was) in INTERNATIONAL Commercial Flying, tell me what you did! IF you would like to know more about the LU Major i'll be taking then there's a link below. Sorry if I'm confusing, i'm very confused myself. Thanks for all your help! -Ryan F. Link for course: http://www.liberty.edu/academics/arts-sciences/aeronautics/index.cfm?PID=23236 Remember, i'm only 13, so I don't understand a lot about college. Could I major in Corporate/Commercial Aviation and Minor in Aviation Maintenance? Search their website to learn more about the whole LU School of Aeronautics.
(Commercial Pilot License) Need information before taking a big decision. Plz Help!? I have completed my 12th with PCM and I want to make my career in Aviation Industry only as PILOT. I wish to go for Commercial Pilot License. I have researched on net but couldn't come to a conclusion & this result in unable to take decision. This course is too expensive & guys I need your Help! Please clear my following doubts (It's a request not to answer, if you don't know about the field.) Don't play with my future. I look forward to get right answers. Q.1 From where should I do CPL (Commercial Pilot Training) in India? (As many institutes & Pilot Schools are grabbing the money.) Q.2 Is education loans are easily available for CPL? Q.3 As this is a expensive course & completes in 18 to 24 months, I would like to know about its future prospects? Will I get job easily? (As I'm going to pay fees after taking Loan) Q.4 Do I need jack/approach/BRIBE somebody in Aviation Industry to get a job as Pilot/Co-Pilot? Q.5 It is very important for me to know, How many jobless pilots are sitting around? Your answer are valuable, which will help me to take a decision & will make my career. Please try to give me the true picture.
Does this sounds like a scam to you? I have a public CV on a website and I recently receive an e-mail from a Company's General Manager. The e-mail is a @yahoo.co.uk thingy and it doesn't sounds credible to me. What you think? This is what she wrote: "We have seen your CV on the above website, and feel you may be interested in our company. Please request that we email our company information sheet to you. We will normally reply to your request within 4 working days. This is a career opportunity that suits people from all walks of life. It is supported by a full training and support programme, and for those unhappy in their current role or looking for a new challenge it represents an opportunity to change career. Yours sincerely Teresa Hurst General Manager Lifestyle Venture International"

USAF Palace Chase program for overseas members requirements? First things first, i know i should see the in-service recruiter to get the most accurate and up-to-date information. That being said i know that I am still some time away from being eligible for the program and i am deploying withing the next few weeks so i will see one when i get back. Currently I am stationed overseas so I know that the requirements for the program are different for me. This is the information that I have found that seems to apply for me. If overseas: submit application 1 year prior to your requested DEROS, if DEROS and DOS match (highest ADSC for officers) and may request up to 6 months early release. If DEROS and DOS (highest ADSC for officers) do not match, must submit application 6 months prior to DEROS for an early release equal to DEROS. What I gather from this is that I need to submit the application one year from my DEROS (my DEROS is JAN-2012). I should get back from my deployment around Sept-Oct, so i have to submit my application by Dec or Jan right? By then I'd be in the AF for about a year and a half. Would that be a disqualifying factor? I am enlisted and in good health. Also what would be the chances of me being able to cross train? I realize its all up to the gaining unit but I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with all this. The primary reasoning for me wanting to do this is that I want to get a degree, and this would give me the necessary time to do so (I currently work 12's on the flight line so i don't exactly have a lot of time to do this), also i would like to cross-train into a career field that could transfer more easily into the civilian world such as a medical job. I currently crew f-16's which doesn't easily transfer into the civilian world. Last but not least i can still serve my country while doing all of this. Thank you for your time and help.
ACTORS: I emailed 2 casting directors to audition for films -- and neither responded!!? I'm 16 and attempting to start an acting career in Ohio (don't tell me to move to LA - i'm with an agency and there is at least a small market in every city) - anyways, i've found a couple great auditions from actingmidwest.com, where directors post the specifics of their films or commercials they want to cast and leave an email to contact them through. (if you live in the midwest, check it out, it's a great source!) I found 2 great possibilities that would work for my age - one a low budget SAG! I emailed the email they gave with my headshots and resume and received no response. One of these was posted about a week ago and said this: "Casting session will be November 22, 2011, so respond promptly. Online casting will be available for those 50 miles outside of Cincinnati, Ohio" I responded the day of, and still have not recieved a response for it. Today is November 21. The other, the SAG, said that some of the actors would need training in combat. I can't quite explain it, so this is what they said: "Kino 13- One of 13 fighters that protect the treasure. We are looking for looks and fighting skills/athletic ability. 11 roles open. Your audition will consist of you in your unique wardrobe, in character, then performing martial arts, gymnastics, athletic moves. NO DIALOGUE, JUST CHARACTER expressions and movement. By the way: If you do not understand the difference between on screen and real combat, DO NOT SUBMIT! We have no time for seeing who is the “best fighter ion the world” on our set! This is a MOVIE not a tournament! Here is the film description of the Kino 13, think of them as X-Men type characters, but not with super powers, other than those described. Description: The Red Rock Project. A secret operation using the paranormal abilities of the worlds thirteen deadliest psychic, psychotic killers. Named The Kino Thirteen, they are Individuals with super senses, advanced fighting skills and sociopaths tendencies. Psychic vampires, steroid infused combat troops. Jakob Flint's kids-(1) Male, teen age ***(1)Female-teen age***. The unlucky children of the film's star, Jakob Flint. They are held hostage by Vanzetti and his men and meet a quick demise, Mafia style. Ages: 13-17, Caucasian. No dialog. For these auditions, the teen agers in question need to do a monologue of their choice from any movie featuring an emotional range for a teen ager. This monologue must run no longer than 3 minutes. There are no lines in the film, but ACTING talent through emoting is ESSENTIAL!" Because of the way they spaced it on the page, I can't tell if they meant that even Jakob Flint's daughter needs combat training, so I emailed to clarify and also sent my other information. Did I ruin it by doing this? Sorry if that was confusing, and if you skipped to here, basically I sent in a request to audition for 2 films that I would reallllly like to do, but recieved no response. I don't want to be annoying and submit again (I wouldn't do that) but I don't know how to not let this opportunity slip from my fingers!! Help!

What do you think of this guy? A while ago I wrote a profile on a protagonist that I created for a novel, and according to many, he was unrealistic, and dull. I've now created a much fuller bio on him, and I'd love to here your comments on him. Robert Carter, was born in 1972 on the outskirts of the English city of Plymouth. He attended a local Primary School for two years, before he and his family moved to the centre of London. There he attended a major independent school, at which he continued through into high school. His academic achievements were mainly in practical subjects, whilst barely scratching the surface of mathematics. Considered by many to be a popular, interesting individual, Carter made many good friends in his early life. After leaving High School, he was signed at London Metropolitan University, at which he studied International Relations, and Information Technology. Alongside these core studies, he worked on his language skills, with which in a short time he managed to learn fluently. Within his several years at university, he managed to fully learn French, German, and Spanish. He also developed some basic Russian skills. He received a First Class Honours degree for International Relations, whilst achieving an above average grade for Information Technology. He was considered by his mentors and teachers to be a prospective politician, who would possibly go far in his field. However, Carter is a modest man, and, not wanting to boast about himself, he joined the Royal Navy Pilot’s course. After only a short time, he achieved Pilot Licence, allowing him to join the Royal Navy’s 800 Naval Air Squadron as a pilot. He flew the Harrier aircraft for many years, before achieving the rank of Commander. After being positioned as Air Flight commander of 800 for two years, he moved on to join the Royal Marines’ Training Course. Here, the Special Forces personnel discovered his uncanny ability of marksmanship, and hand-to-hand combat, whilst his terrible hand-eye-co-ordination let him down on many fronts. Instead of fully joining the Marines, he became a part of the Special Boat Service M Squadron, responsible for carrying out specialist boarding operations, and working with the SAS. A strong and tall man, he made a good career from this, working on several anti-terrorist operations. In 2006, whilst acting as a commander in his squadron, he was given a request to join the Secret Intelligence Service as a specialist operative. He agreed, and left the SBS to become a reserve trooper, whilst fully joining the SIS’ Directorate of Special Operations. Considered by many to be a stubborn man, he has often preferred everything to go his way, whilst playing only on orders from higher ranks. However, he is a funny man to be around, yet a bit of a perfectionist. His personal life has been unstable, hardly ever having a long relationship. He is unmarried, works for DoFO, and lives in Victoria District, London Carter has always been a keen rower, and skier. He often cycles, and is a very sporty person.
I was physically hurt by a personal fitness trainer...? I become amputee on my right knee while working out with a fitness trainer at the Las Vegas Athletic Club by name of Jonathan Vose. He had me perform several very questionable exercises which hurt my leg permanently beyond repair. It ended my triathlon career and I costs me tens of l thousand of dollars in race fees and medical bills I tired to get my money back from him as compensation for physical and emotional pain I gone through (about $7,000). He just ignored by complaint and request. I hired a personal injury lawyer and he has been frustrated in getting the trainers insurance information and getting the gym to take action against this private contracted fitness trainer and his dangerous training methods. I'm wondering if anyone has gone through something similar with a fitness trainer and what they did about? If you have a suggest on how I can get this private trainer to pay me back for what he did, I would love to hear.
Fair Credit Reporting Act rules and employment ? This morning, my boss instructed me to call a manager-in-training candidate who received and accepted a job offer this week and rescind the offer based on information learned through a background check. The candidate was convicted of possession of marijuana in 1998 and also drunk driving in 1995. We did not go through a thrid party so the 7 year rule does not apply here. On the original employment application, the candidate was asked if she had ever been convicted of a crime in the last 7 years and truthfully answered "No." Her drug screen came back clean as well. Nonetheless, the HR manager instructed me to call her and tell her that we decided to go with another candidate. To my knowledge, there is no other candidate. Normally, when someone is declined employment based upon the check, FCRA rules compel us to provide the candidate with a copy of the report so that they may check for accuracy and dispute it if they wish. I told my superiors that this lady is going to want to know why we are suddenly rescinding the offer when I was quite obviously enthusiastic about hiring her this week and she noted my enthusiasm. They simply told me to tell her this: "Well, sometimes you just don't like a person." This way they can avoid having to provide her with a copy of the report. Normally, I would contact our legal affairs dept. and have them or HR handle this but both are closed on Saturday and HR left this email for me on Friday afternoon. This lady was suppose to start on Monday so I have no choice but to make the call myself. I do NOT want to follow HR's instructions because it isn't entirely honest and this is something that should be handled at the corporate level and not at the store level. ( I work for a regional retailer). However, I can't ignore it without placing my own job in jeopardy. Should I tell this lady the real reason why she is being denied employment so that she may request a copy of the report? Legally, I feel that I would be in the right by doing so but it could lead to a reprimand and I don't want to hurt my own career. Thank you.

Is this a legitimate wage-earning job or a pyramid scheme? Details: Applied for the job on Monster.com. Received interview within 24 hours requesting interview. Website has little specific information, claims business is a marketing/advertising firm specializing in in-store marketing programs. Email claims a "guaranteed pay rate plus commission" Claims to work with very big retailers marketing very well known products. (won't mention them here for safety reasons, needless to say you know the retailers and the products) Had my interview today, key things: "We are a leads generation firm" A 4-6 month paid training program where I move from in-store to branch manager of the location of my choosing Interview lasted less than 10 minutes. Is this some kind of pyramid scheme where the only money I make is off of trying to sell crap to my friends and family, or is this a legitimate position that I should continue to make time to pursue? (Keep in mind that I'm right out of college and sales is not the career I'm looking for. It's just the first interview I've had in a long time, would like to know the legitimacy of it.) This is not an internet job.

No one on either side (parents in law or blood relatives) of my family has serves in any way. Thus, I hope someone can answer a few questions for me. 1. My Master's is in Foreign Policy/Migration. Does a degree like that qualify me for a higher post in the reserves (officer)? 2. If I get rectruited..How do things proceed from there...Do I go off to training school, leaving my hubby/10 month old behind for a few months? 3. As a reserve, do I then come back to a chosen station (in my home state, hopefully) and live on base (with dependants) I really apologize if my question sounds ignorant...I am really just getting started understanding the different branches of the military, the various careers possible, etc. I really would like a meaningful, interesting job. I put in a request for an advisor to contact me, but have not heard back yet as it is the weekend. Thank you in advance for information.

Fleet Air Arm salary vs RAF? Is there a great difference between the salaries of pilots in the RAF versus the RN's Fleet Air Arm? The RAF website has quite a lot of information to go with its careers, and my understanding is that the pay starts off at around £15,000 rising to around £32,000 once you are fully qualified, including flying pay. Unfortunately the RN site does not have so much information. On one page it states £24,000 including flying pay, on another excluding. Also, graduate salaries are drastically higher. Basically if anyone can outline the difference in salaries between RAF and FAA Pilots at similar stages of training and experience, with perhaps some detail on flying pay I'd be grateful. Obviously money isn't everything, but if one is earning drastically more than the other then it does effect which one to go for. Some bonus questions/requests: Can you apply to both the Navy and RAF at the same time, and does being turned down for one affect your chances with the other? And if anyone knows a good site with information on the RN FAA I'd be very happy. The RN website is pretty tight with information, and there doesn't seem to be a lot of info floating around, unlike the wealth that I've digested to do with the RAF. Thank you.

Fair Credit Reporting Act rules and employment ? This morning, my boss instructed me to call a manager-in-training candidate who received and accepted a job offer this week and rescind the offer based on information learned through a background check. The candidate was convicted of possession of marijuana in 1998 and also drunk driving in 1995. We did not go through a thrid party so the 7 year rule does not apply here. On the original employment application, the candidate was asked if she had ever been convicted of a crime in the last 7 years and truthfully answered "No." Her drug screen came back clean as well. Nonetheless, the HR manager instructed me to call her and tell her that we decided to go with another candidate. To my knowledge, there is no other candidate. Normally, when someone is declined employment based upon the check, FCRA rules compel us to provide the candidate with a copy of the report so that they may check for accuracy and dispute it if they wish. I told my superiors that this lady is going to want to know why we are suddenly rescinding the offer when I was quite obviously enthusiastic about hiring her this week and she noted my enthusiasm. They simply told me to tell her this: "Well, sometimes you just don't like a person." This way they can avoid having to provide her with a copy of the report. Normally, I would contact our legal affairs dept. and have them or HR handle this but both are closed on Saturday and HR left this email for me on Friday afternoon. This lady was suppose to start on Monday so I have no choice but to make the call myself. I do NOT want to follow HR's instructions because it isn't entirely honest and this is something that should be handled at the corporate level and not at the store level. ( I work for a regional retailer). However, I can't ignore it without placing my own job in jeopardy. Should I tell this lady the real reason why she is being denied employment so that she may request a copy of the report? Legally, I feel that I would be in the right by doing so but it could lead to a reprimand and I don't want to hurt my own career. @Landlord: The legality of it wasn't my question. My superiors instructed me to NOT informed the applicant of the reason. I don't feel this is part of my job. HR made the decision to rescind the offer. I wanted to hire this lady. Since they made the decision, I think they should be the ones to inform her. You didn't read my question very well.

What are the secrets Inside Israel's prisons ?!? http://www.haaretz.com/hasen/pages/shart... Detainees are blindfolded and kept in blackened cells, never told where they are, brutally interrogated and allowed no visitors of any kind. Dubbed 'the Israeli Guantanamo,' it's no wonder facility 1391 officially does not exist. M, who serves in the Intelligence Corps reserves, remembers the first time he was sent to do guard duty at Camp 1391. Before climbing to the top of the observation tower he received an explicit order from the responsible officer: "When you're on the tower you look straight ahead only, outside the base, and to the sides. What happens behind you is none of your business. Do not turn around." M., of course, couldn't resist the temptation and occasionally snuck a look behind him. From atop the tower he saw the double fence surrounding the camp, enclosing a compound ruled by trained attack dogs; the jeep that patrols inside the two fences; the vehicles utilized by the members of the unit who man the base; and especially the large concrete structure, dating from the British Mandate period, when it was used by the British police, and which now bears a description that carries an aura of mystery: Israel's secret detention facility. Some of the people who were interviewed for this article dubbed the camp "the Israeli Guantanamo." There are in fact certain points of resemblance between the American detention camp in Cuba and the Israeli site, mainly in relation to the legal questions that hover over them and the gnawing doubt about whether they are consistent with the values of democracy. In terms of the exotic, though, we lag far behind. Whereas the watchtowers of the Guantanamo facility look out over the aquamarine waters of the Caribbean Sea, the secret prison in Israel is situated by the side of a completely ordinary road in the heart of a bustling region in the center of the country. A narrow, tree-lined road ascends to the camp, and inside it looks like any other army base: barracks, mess hall, workshop to repair vehicles. Even the guards are not the best the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have available. The guard towers and the patrols are manned, for the most part, by graduates of the IDF's general basic training program, who "never carried out an assault against anything," as one of them put it. "As always with us, there's a lot of hoo-ha, but behind it is the usual army chaos," an officer who served at the base says ironically. What really surrounds Camp 1391, more than physical protection, is an entrenched wall of silence. Since the 1980s, when the facility was moved from a more southerly location to its present site, the Israeli authorities have made every effort to keep its very existence secret. And even now that its existence has been revealed, the state refuses to answer the many questions of the world and of the Israeli public: Where is the facility? Who is being held there, why, and for how long? Were they tried before being locked up in Camp 1391, or are they awaiting trial? What are their conditions of incarceration? In every other lockup in Israel the answers to these and many other questions are open and amenable to external, legal, public and international review. As far as is known, the 1391 site is the only detention facility whose detainees don't know where they are. If they ask, the warders may answer, "on the moon," or "in outer space," or "outside the borders of Israel." It is also the only detention facility that the state prevents the International Red Cross from visiting. Nor, as far as can be ascertained, have Knesset members ever visited the place, and many of the politicians who have been asked about it in the past few weeks said they had never heard of it - including some who have held senior positions in the government, such as Prof. David Libai, who was justice minister in the government of Yitzhak Rabin and a member of the ministerial committee that deals with the secret services: "I will not say a single word about the subject, for the simple reason that I am not familiar with it. This is the first time I have ever heard about such a thing." If a former justice minister doesn't know about it, a disturbing question arises: who does? Dan Meridor, another former justice minister and chairman of the Knesset Foreign Affairs and Defense Committee, is aware of the facility's existence: "I'm not sure there's anything wrong here," he says. "I remember that as a minister and as one who dealt with intelligence matters, I visited every place I wanted to and everything was always open to me. I know about the existence of this facility, but I was never there - apparently because I never asked to visit it. I don't want to bandy words about, because I am not familiar with the subject in depth. There are many complex questions of human rights involved here." Do you think it's right that in the State of Israel there is a facility in which people don't know where they are, nor do their families or lawyers? "No. If there are people who are incarcerated incommunicado, that doesn't seem right to me." According to attorney Dan Yakir, the legal adviser of the Association of Civil Rights in Israel (ACRI), "A secret detention facility contradicts basic principles of every democracy - transparency and public supervision over the governmental authorities. And those principles are especially important in relation to the deprivation of freedom - which is one of the most severe infringements of human rights. The existence of a lockup like this gives rise to a double concern: first, of secret arrests and `disappearances' of people; and second, an abuse of power, unfair treatment, violence and torture." As will be seen, attorney Yakir's concerns are well founded. Stepson of army intelligence Camp 1391 is an Israel Defense Forces facility. Agents of the Shin Bet security service and other security branches visit the site and since the start of the intifada have apparently made greater use of it than in the past, but the facility belongs to the IDF. One of the reasons for the wall of secrecy that surrounds it is the fact that it is located in the center of a military base that belongs to one of the secret units of the Intelligence Corps - Unit 504 (according to foreign sources the unit's name has recently been changed). Unit 504 gathers intelligence by means of the human factor - "humint." Most of its work is done by using agents outside Israel. The officers in the unit, which is not large, are known as katamim (acronym for "officers for special tasks") and undergo two-track training. Some of them handle agents and the others - former members of the unit say they are those whose skills the system isn't wild about - are directed to the hakshabim track (interrogators of prisoners). The unit commander is an officer with the rank of colonel. The attitude toward the unit is characterized by duality: on the one hand, this is a small, seemingly elitist unit, which carries out sensitive missions; on the other hand, as one of the unit's members says, "We are the stepson of army intelligence. Sometimes you look at some of the officers and you ask yourself whether these are the standards the IDF assigns to these posts." The same individual adds, "There is also a problem about the impact of long-term service on their mental state. To be an interrogator you have to start out with some kind of scratch on the brain. But the handlers, too - after a time they also start to be handlers in their private life. You see it in their attitude toward women, with the family, even in the interaction between the people in the unit." Along with operational successes, which have naturally remained far from the public eye, the names of some of the unit's members have been linked to dubious affairs in recent years. One of the unit's commanders became criminally entangled because of a romantic affair. Another accidentally discharged his pistol during a meeting with the command personnel. Jean-Pierre Elraz, who last year was accused of murdering Yitzhak Kvartatz, the security coordinator of Kibbutz Manara, is a former member of the unit (and afterward served in the Shin Bet); so is Major Yosef Amit, who was convicted of aggravated espionage and contact with a foreign agent. During the IDF's 18-year presence in Lebanon, the members of Unit 504 were especially active across Israel's northern border. To this day the Lebanese press occasionally runs stories about the arrest and trial of local agents who operated in the service of Unit 504. In November 1998, a Lebanese court convicted no fewer than 57 citizens of collaborating with Israel via the unit. The penalty for this offense: death. The unit's extensive activity in Lebanon placed Camp 1391 at the center of affairs. It became the entry gate to Israel for Lebanese, especially those who were suspected of membership in Hezbollah, who were transferred to the southern side of the border. Some of them were captured in battle, others were abducted at Israel's initiative. The most famous of the abductees are Sheikh Abd al Karim Obeid, who was seized in 1989, and Mustafa Dirani, who was brought by force to Israel in 1994. The helicopter in which members of Sayeret Matkal, the ultra-elite reconnaissance unit, took Obeid from his home in the town of Jibsheet, took him directly to the gates of Camp 1391. The next time Obeid left the camp - apart from medical checks and to appear in court when his detention was extended - was 13 years later. Last summer Obeid and Dirani were moved to Ashmoret prison, near Kfar Yona in the Netanya area. However, well-known anti-Israel activists such as Obeid and Dirani are not the only abductees who have been thrown into Camp 1391. When the soldiers of Sayeret Matkal entered Obeid's house in the dead of night they encountered a few other people, too, among them some of Obeid's relatives and his bodyguard. Hashem Fahaf, then about 20, who happened to visit the sheikh that day to receive his blessing and decided to stay overnight, was especially unlucky. The soldiers bundled him into the helicopter, too. He spent the next 11 years incarcerated in Israel, initially in Camp 1391 and afterward in Ayalon Prison in Ramle. During this entire period he was not tried or accused of any crime. In the first years of his incarceration, Israel denied he was in the country and refused him any contact with the outside world. In April 2000, Fahaf, by now 31, was released by order of the Supreme Court. Together with him another 18 Lebanese, who according to the official version were being held as "bargaining chips" for the missing air force navigator Ron Arad, were also released. The group included two men who had been kidnapped and brought to Israel when they were teenagers aged 16 and 17, as well as Ghasan Dirani, a relative of Mustafa Dirani, who developed catatonic schizophrenia during his incarceration in Israel. At one stage or another, all of them were held in Camp 1391. Inside the facility In aerial photographs of the area in which Camp 1391 is located - as is the case with aerial photos of other security-sensitive sites in the country - the facility and the large building in its center are nonexistent. Most maps of Israel also do not cite the facility, though on a few maps of the Nature and National Parks Protection Authority, it is marked by means of a letter, with no further explanation. There is no sign on the main road directing the curious to the camp. After we drove around the base a couple of times and stopped a bit to take pictures, a security vehicle was sent out to follow us for a few kilometers. At the first opportunity, two armed and surly security men got out of the vehicle and barraged us with questions. Anyone entering the camp has to negotiate two iron gates draped with barbed wire. The first gate closes after the visitor enters and only then does the second gate open. The detention and interrogation section is located not far from the mess hall. A person who served on the base recalls with a smile that a poster spelling out the main points of the Geneva Convention hung on one of the walls of the dining hall. The cells proceed along a corridor; they abut one another but are separated by thick concrete walls. The detainees can communicate by knocking on the walls, "and they often shout to one another," relates an officer who served in the facility. "That is forbidden, but we didn't always have the energy to deal with it." The detainees are led into the facility blindfolded, to prevent them from knowing where they are. Their personal effects are taken from them, as are their clothes and they are given blue pants and a blue shirt. The cells are pretty much identical, though there are two levels of detainees: those who are in the middle of being interrogated, who get the worst cells and worst conditions; and those whose interrogation has been completed. Two of the cells are relatively large (2.5 x 4 meters), have reasonable lighting and running water, and are therefore called the "villas" by the prisoners. Sheikh Obeid shared one of the "villas" with two Lebanese detainees. Two of the solitary confinement cells are considered the worst of the lot. They are 1.25 x 1.25 meters in size, almost completely dark, and the walls are painted black or red. The differences between the other cells are largely insignificant, expressed mainly in the form of a few basic rights that are accorded to those whom the system no longer has any reason to subject to psychological pressure. The doors of the cells are made of heavy steel, with a small crack - which can be opened only from the outside - being the only opening to the outside world. The cells measure about 2 x 2 meters and are made entirely of concrete on the inside. There are no windows or any source of external light. Abutting one of the walls is a concrete platform that serves as a bed, with a mattress and a blanket on it. On the wall opposite is an orifice, a kind of pipe through which water flows, but the tap is controlled by soldiers outside the cell. Below the water source is a hole in the floor that the detainees use to relieve themselves. That, it turns out, is a privilege. In some of the cells, apparently those used for detainees under interrogation, there is no place at all to go to the toilet: the prisoners have to use a large plastic bucket, which is emptied only once every few days. There are ventilation openings in the upper part of the cells, but the main testimony to their existence is the noise they make when they are turned on. A lamp protected by heavy glass casts a dim light 24 hours a day. The detainees have no way to tell night from day. Most of the cells are also under supervision by means of cameras that send the images via closed-circuit television. The majority of the prisoners are incarcerated alone, though some of the cells have two concrete platforms and in some cases hold two prisoners. The detainees receive the same food the soldiers get. Three times a day, soldiers open the door, bring in a dish and then close the door. The procedure is that before the soldier enters he knocks at the door, at which point the detainee must place a black sack on his head and turn around with his hands raised. The warders, members of the Military Police who are seconded to the facility, are not armed. Weapons may not be introduced into the facility, to prevent a situation in which one of the prisoners might seize a warder's weapon. The warders are only allowed to open the cell doors in pairs. Once a day the detainees - those whose interrogation has ended - are allowed out for one hour in a small inner courtyard of sand and vegetation. The conditions of imprisonment, says a person who served in the facility, are relatively reasonable. Similarly, attorney Zvi Rish, the lawyer of Obeid, Dirani and many of the other Lebanese who were incarcerated in the facility in the 1990s, confirms that his clients had no special complaints about the conditions - referring only to the period after their interrogation had ended. What goes on during the interrogation process is another story altogether, one that sheds light on one of the darker corners of Israel. Let George do it On Friday evening, July 28, 1989, the adrenaline was coursing through Camp 1391. In a well-planned operation, Sayeret Matkal succeeded in grabbing Sheikh Obeid from his bed in the town of Jibsheet, about eight kilometers north of the Israeli border. Obeid was considered a spiritual authority in Hezbollah, but despite the high hopes, his abduction did not further the search for Ron Arad, who had been missing since his plane was downed over Lebanon three years earlier. Soldiers who served in the facility at the time say that in the course of time they developed good relations with prisoner no. 801260. They taught him Hebrew - he reached an impressive level of fluency in the language - and he taught them Arabic. Obeid is described as the spiritual mentor of the prisoners and even of the warders. "With him everything was done quietly and with restraint, with grace and decorum. Even the warders treated him almost like `your honor the rabbi,'" recalls an officer who served at the facility. In May 1994 an honorable guest joined the order of the Lebanese prisoners at Camp 1391: Mustafa Dirani. He was another bargaining chip from whom Israel hoped to extract information about Ron Arad, or even to exchange for Arad, but he, too, proved a disappointment. Many months of planning preceded the abduction of Dirani, who was head of the security division in the Shi'ite movement Amal, and as such had been responsible for holding Ron Arad for about two years. A few days before he was seized and brought to Israel, the interrogators of Unit 504 were given all the intelligence material that had been collected about him. When he arrived at the facility there was a feeling of an imminent breakthrough. In the first days of the interrogation all the ranking members of the defense establishment turned up at the facility - prime minister Yitzhak Rabin, the chief of staff, the director of Military Intelligence and officials from the Mossad espionage agency and the Shin Bet. Dirani's interrogation began seconds after he was grabbed. In special cases interrogators from Unit 504 accompany a force that operates across the lines, with the aim of taking advantage of the abductee's initial shock. The interrogation continued in the vehicle that brought Dirani to his cell in Camp 1391 and then for the next five weeks continuously around the clock. The chief interrogators were the unit commander, career and reservist personnel - the latter were mobilized especially for the mission -and above all a major who introduced himself as George. George, who is now 43 and lives in a small community in the center of the country, is dark with cropped hair, brown eyes and a solid body. He is considered one of the unit's toughest interrogators. The relationship that developed between George and Dirani was the stuff of quite a few newspaper headlines. It will continue to engage the courts during the years to come. Still pending in Tel Aviv District Court is a suit filed by Dirani against the State of Israel and Major George concerning two incidents in which Dirani says he was subjected to sexual abuse. In the first case George called in four of the soldiers who were doing guard duty in the facility and one of them allegedly raped Dirani at George's orders. In another case, Dirani says in the suit, George himself inserted a wooden stick into his rectum. The court will have to decide whether these events occurred. A perusal of the affidavits that have been submitted to the court, testimonies of officers and soldiers who served in the facility and evidence given by other detainees who were there paints a picture of a horrific routine in the interrogation rooms of Camp 1391. Within the framework of that routine the interrogators of Unit 504 have no compunctions about making use of extreme measures in order to extract information - information that in a large percentage of the cases was not in their possession. "I know that it was customary to threaten to insert a stick," says T.N., an interrogator at the facility, in testimony he gave to Military Police investigators. "The intention was that the stick would be inserted if the subject did not talk ... I remember one case when something in that style was done ... George was interrogating one of the prisoners ... He called in S. and me. We came into the room and S. dropped his pants and remained in his underwear or he made clicking noises with his belt as though he was opening it ... S. did this during the interrogation, when George told [the prisoner] that he would be raped in the *** ... I remember for certain that the situation was threat of rape ... "I want to add about that prisoner that he arrived in the room naked, handcuffed and with his head covered. S. and I were in the room and one of us led him around the room and the other held the stick next to his rear end, with provocation and threat, that because he had been caught lying the stick would be shoved up his ***. When I say the stick was moved around next to his rear end, the idea was to touch his bottom with the stick and maybe even to shove it next to the rectum so he would think we were really going to stick it in." Dirani's complaint, along with other testimonies about what was going on in the interrogation rooms of Camp 1391, opened a Pandora's box in the army. George's line of defense was clear: The system, he said, abandoned me; everything I did was done with authority and authorization. Everyone knew, everyone gave their backing, and now everyone denies it all. To reinforce his case, George brandishes a petition that was signed by about 60 reserve officers and soldiers of the unit, in which they say it is wrong for George to have to pay a personal price for using working methods that were standard in the unit for many years. What, according to George, did he in fact do with authority and authorization? He denied the rape and the abuse with the stick, but confirmed many details that were reported by Dirani and other prisoners. For example, the fact that they often stood naked while being interrogated. The State of Israel also denied the rape charge in its response to Dirani's suit, though in the legal hearings the representative of the State Attorney's Office, Yael Tennenbaum, confirmed that "within the framework of a Military Police investigation the suspicion arose that an interrogator who questioned the complainant threatened to perform a sexual act on the complainant." The denial notwithstanding, George was dismissed from the career army, in which he had served for nearly 20 years, by order of the IDF's judge advocate general. He claimed the system was trying to silence him and the episode and filed a petition to the High Court of Justice to be reinstated into service. The petition was rejected. Today George sits at home, declining to talk about the case. But stains that will not soon be erased continue to hover in the skies above Camp 1391. Another example is the testimony of Ahmed Ali Banjek, a Lebanese citizen who was brought to Israel and interrogated in the facility on suspicion of smuggling an anti-helicopter missile into the former Israeli security zone in southern Lebanon. Banjek was convicted on the basis of his confession but afterward submitted an affidavit to the military court in Lod stating that the confession had been extracted under torture. He said he had been beaten with a wooden stick between the legs, forced to sit on a wooden stick until it penetrated into his body, made to drink coffee mixed with ashes from cigarettes and force-fed with large amounts of onions and water. In a rare judgment, the military court in Lod, under the president of the court, Lieutenant Colonel Elisha Caspi, found in April 1998 that "a certain doubt remains as to whether it can be asserted with the certainty required in a criminal trial that his statement was made by the defendant and signed by him." In other words, the court did not reject Banjek's account of the horrors that occurred in the interrogation rooms of Camp 1391, and he was released.

A black hole (2 of 2) The new population Since Israel's withdrawal from Lebanon more than three years ago, and certainly since the eruption of the intifada in September 2000, the unit has actively employed agents among the Palestinians in the territories, an area that until then was the almost exclusive preserve of the Shin Bet. Along with the change in the character of the unit's activity, the population that is now brought to the facility has also changed. As far as is known, in the past the main, though not the only, occupants of the facility were citizens of foreign countries - a term that does not include the inhabitants of the Palestinian Authority. They included Lebanese who were captured or abducted and brought to Israel, Iraqis who defected from Saddam's army and hoped to find political asylum in Israel, and there are also stories about an Iranian or two who were held at the facility in the past. In the past year, and perhaps in earlier stages of the intifada as well, Palestinians too were incarcerated there at times. The most senior of them, as far as is known, is Marwan Barghouti, who was interrogated at the facility for a few days. "Barghouti sat on the same chair you are now sitting on," the interrogators said to one of the Palestinian detainees and made fun of the modest dimensions of the famous prisoner - "his legs didn't even reach the floor." The fact that Palestinians were being held at the secret facility was revealed almost by chance in legal discussions between the state and Hamoked - Center for the Defense of the Individual, a Jerusalem-based human rights organization. Hamoked, which helps Palestinians locate relatives who have been arrested by Israel, wanted to know what happened to Muatez Shahin, who was arrested last October 5 at his home in the village of Salfit, near Nablus in the West Bank. The IDF control center replied that "he is not on any list." After Hamoked and Shahin's relatives petitioned the High Court of Justice, the state referred them in its response to a policeman at the Kishon detention facility. However, when they contacted the policemen they were told that "Shahin is being held in a secret facility that is annexed to the Kishon facility." With that response they went back to the court and argued that the law and a series of legal precedents oblige the state to inform a detainee and his family of his exact place of incarceration. The case of Shahin was the first in a growing list of Palestinians who "disappeared" as though they had been swallowed up by the earth. Through the veteran attorney Lea Tsemel, Hamoked continued to press the state for answers - which arrived in bits and pieces. Yes, the representatives of the State Prosecutor's Office finally told the court, the state operates a facility whose name and location are security secrets. The state attorneys went on to say that even though the facility belonged to the army, the Palestinians had been interrogated there by the Shin Bet. However, the facility "served the Shin Bet only temporarily, this being due to a shortfall in places of detention ... Recently, though, the situation changed and it was decided that the Shin Bet no longer needs to make use of the facility in which the petitioners were held as a detention facility, and accordingly [the Shin Bet] removed from the facility the detainees it was holding there." However, within weeks of this statement to the court, Odit Corinaldi-Sirkis, a senior deputy to the state prosecutor, stated that the facility had been revived: "I wish to inform you," she wrote on June 4 to attorney Lea Tsemel, "that since our responses were submitted the circumstances have changed, and the security people have informed us that detainees are currently being held at facility 1391." A few days later, in her response to the court, the representative of the State Prosecutor's Office added more details: In the past five years "only a few detainees" were held at the facility, but because of the shortfall in places of detention in the wake of Operation Defensive Shield, in April 2002, the Shin Bet had made use of the facility, holding residents of the territories there for brief periods during their interrogation. Now [two months ago] a few detainees were being held there. The court was also told that the facility had been subjected to a review to ascertain the conditions in it, and according to the State Prosecutor's Office it met the accepted criteria in the facilities of the Prisons Service. Hamoked was not satisfied with this response. What began as an attempt to locate a few detainees soon became a matter of legal and democratic principle: What is the legal authority for operating the facility? Is the fact that its location and name are secret, and that it is not open to external, public and international review consistent with the letter of the law? The state, by the way, submitted to the court an interesting document, according to which then defense minister Benjamin Ben-Eliezer on April 16, 2002, signed an order declaring facility 1391 to be a military prison. Even if this document makes it legal to imprison people at the site, what does it say about the legality of the activity that was carried out there in all the years that preceded Ben-Eliezer's action? The answers to all these questions will have to be provided by the High Court of Justice, which is scheduled to take up the issue next month. It's very difficult to get substantive comments about facility 1391 from officials in the political, security or even legal spheres. A great many politicians, some of them with a rich security background, refused to say anything. Amnon Shahak, who was the director of Military Intelligence at the time of Sheikh Obeid's abduction, and later chief of staff, and was at one point briefly a candidate for prime minister, says he is "not interested in commenting on the subject." Oren Shahor, the chief intelligence officer at the beginning of the 1990s and today a program presenter on radio and television, says, "I can't help you with that." MK Zahava Gal-On (Meretz), who has put in a request to visit the site but has yet to receive a reply, says, "The fact that such a facility exists, whose location no one knows formally, is one of the signs of totalitarian regimes and of the Third World. It is inconceivable that detainees do not know where they are and that their relatives and lawyers don't know, either; that under the auspices of the army, the State of Israel is violating elementary rights of detainees. Even prisoners have rights. There are international conventions. It is inconceivable that the state abducts people and that there is no review or supervision. I visited all the interrogation facilities of the Shin Bet and there was no problem. So what's the problem here?" One big garbage pail Raab Bader, a 38-year-old accountant who is married and the father of two, was arrested last December at his work place - an engineering consultancy firm in Nablus. At 9:30 A.M. soldiers arrived at his office, but he wasn't there at the time. When he got back, he decided to wait for the soldiers, and they returned in the afternoon and took him away. His wife says he waited for them because he was convinced he had done nothing wrong and wasn't worried. She adds that he was asked by his interrogators about his ties with wanted individuals. Today he is in administrative detention - arrest without trial - at Ofer Camp near Ramallah. As he has not been brought to trial, it is very difficult to know what he is suspected of. What follows are extensive excerpts from his testimony about the 42 days he spent at facility 1391. He have the testimony to attorney Lea Tsemel on June 12 at Ofer Camp: "I was arrested on December 10, 2002. After being interrogated by the Shin Bet for 31 days in Petah Tikva, I was taken to a secret military facility. Those who took me there wore army uniforms. "I was blindfolded and black glasses were placed on top of the blindfold to prevent me from seeing anything. I was handcuffed and shackled. Soldiers sat me down on the floor of the car and the soldiers then covered me with a black cloth. I couldn't see a thing the whole time and I was kept on the floor of the car for the entire long trip. "I spent about 40 days at that place according to my count. I was never told the name of the place or where I was. I received different replies to my many questions. Sometimes I was told or they hinted that we were in Atlit, someone said Acre Prison, one interrogator said a 'submarine,' and many times the answer was that we were in 'space' or 'outside the borders of Israel.' " .... There are two types of solitary confinement cells that I got to know. At first, for the first 11 days - according to the count I tried to keep - I was held in the worst of the solitary confinement cells. By my measurement, the cell is 120 centimeters wide (a bit wider than a mattress) and about 2.5 meters long. There is a damp mattress (all the mattresses are always damp) on a platform about 30 centimeters high and there are damp blankets. The blankets have a terrible smell; the mattress, too. There is a large black plastic garbage pail in the room, a small pitcher for water, and a rag. "The room is completely black. All the walls are painted black, and I never saw the ceiling. When I looked up, I saw only darkness. Light of candle brightness penetrates weirdly from one side of the room, from a device that seems to be almost above the ceiling, and the light is filtered through three thick pieces of glass. The light in the room is so faint and illuminates such a small part of the room that if I had had a book it would have been totally impossible to read it. You can hardly see a thing. "Of course the room has no windows. You can't tell whether it is day or night or when day becomes night. I had no way to know when it was time for prayers, I could only guess. "There are one or two pipes in the ceiling, which are apparently for ventilation. I say apparently, because I could never ascertain where there was ventilation. Most of the time and in all the solitary confinement cells I felt I didn't have enough oxygen, and sometimes I thought I was about to pass out. "I spent many days in that solitary confinement cell and in others like it, and hour after hour I would talk to myself and feel that I was going crazy, or find myself laughing to myself. I would sit on the mattress, get up and walk around in a circle, and sit down again. The only thing that kept me sane was thinking about my wife and children. "What sets this solitary confinement cell apart from the others is the fact that it has no toilet facilities and no source of water ... I remember the first time I had to relieve myself. I thought about what to do, and in the end I removed my underpants, placed them on the floor, relieved myself into them, tied them up and threw them into the garbage pail. The pail remained with me in the cell as it was. On other occasions I had to stand on my toes so I could aim my droppings into it and not tip it over onto myself. "I myself did not wash during all these days and no one offered me a chance to wash. Of course I did not brush my teeth or wash my face. Three times a day they brought a little water in a pitcher into the cell. "On my ninth day in this stinking cell, when one of the soldiers had to come in or take me out, he almost threw up and rushed out of the cell. As usual, I stood against the wall with my head covered by a black cloth. He called another soldier and they made arrangements and plans for removing the garbage pail. They told me drag it. I told them I couldn't do that while blindfolded, and I dragged it but it was too heavy and I couldn't get it out of its niche. So they agreed to remove the blindfold and let me drag the garbage pail out the door, and then they blindfolded me again and one of the soldiers grabbed my shirt and pulled me while I was still dragging the stinking pail. "They led me to another solitary confinement cell, made me enter it with the pail and told me to empty it into the hole of the 'Turkish toilet' [a hole in the floor] in that cell. The soldiers were in control of water outside the cell, and as I emptied the pail they turned on a powerful jet of water and I and my clothes were dirtied. "They made me wash the pail. I demanded to wash myself and I told them I was a worshiper but I would not be able to pray while I was dirtied with excrement. That was the first time I saw running water there. I spoke so angrily that they agreed to let me wash myself. I asked for a towel and one of the soldiers went to my cell and brought the rag, which had an unbearable stench. "I asked for a new set of clothes and for a real towel but I didn't get them. All the behavior of the soldiers was coarse and filled with threats, and this time again they threatened that if I didn't use the opportunity I was being given I would not get another. I undressed as they watched through the opening and made insulting comments. I stood naked under a hole in the concrete from which water emerged. The soldiers turned on the water but didn't let me enjoy it for even five minutes and then shut it off from the outside. "It was winter and cold, but I had no choice other than to put the soiled clothes on my wet body, and I was taken back with the sack on my head and an empty pail into the stinking cell. I stayed there for another two days. "After spending 11 days there I was upgraded to a cell with a Turkish lavatory. That isn't really a higher level, because the soldiers control the water no matter what and they decide when to supply it ... After I got to this cell I was given the chance to shower once a day. The way the shower works: a soldier declares the possibility of showering. I have to undress as the soldier watches through the crack in the door. When I am naked I have to stand above the toilet hole and pin myself against the wall so that the soldier will turn on the water of the 'shower.' The water comes from one hole in a concrete protrusion that is about 15 to 20 centimeters from the wall and about 1.5 meters from the floor. To get flowing water you have to stand right against the wall and wait for the water. "I declare that the soldiers never turned on the water for more than five minutes. They can control whether the water is hot or cold and they make use of that as they please ... To illustrate the soldiers' control of the water, I will tell you that one time I had soaped myself and the soldiers decided to shut off the water. I yelled, I pounded on the door and after my shouts and demands the soldier acceded and turned on freezing water. "Everyone knew about these conditions. Obviously the soldiers who did guard duty at the cell knew. So did the paramedic who saw me every day and the doctors who saw me once or twice a week. Of course all the interrogators, to the last of them, knew about it and apparently gave the orders for it. The paramedic and the doctors, who I would have expected would be compassionate men of medicine, saw me day after day in the same clothes, without underpants, smelled the stench that came off me day after day and said nothing, as though this is the way of the world. "The interrogators truly suffered from the way I smelled. The interrogator Yoni had to suffer my stench day after day. I remember that one day Yoni approached me and looked as though he was about to pass out. He said 'Rihtak hara' [You smell like ****] and told me I had to finish the interrogation. Many times, when the questioning was over, he and the other interrogators would say, 'Arja listal al hara' [Go back to the **** pail]. "When I was in Yoni's interrogation room he would turn on the air conditioner right over me. It was winter and cold, and many times I told him I was cold, but he went on doing it. I understand why, because my smell was intolerable. "It's also clear that the judges could know, too, if they bothered to ask why people who are filthy and stinking are brought before them. For my two remands in custody I was brought from that facility to the Kishon Prison (Jalama). When I was brought before a judge after 22 days in the facility I complained to him, I showed him my undershirt and I told him that when I was arrested it was white and now it was yellow, and I told him I had no underpants. I asked him to smell me and told him that I couldn't wash without a towel and clean clothes. The lawyer who was there told me that the judge told the soldiers to give me clothes. "That night, at about 11 P.M., in the facility, they brought me clothes that were used but clean. They didn't bring a towel. When I asked for a towel in the days that followed I always got the same answer: 'Quiet.' "During the whole period I was given food in the cell and made to eat sitting down. The food arrives on a fairly small dish. Three meals a day. The food was tastier than in the Shin Bet interrogation division in Petah Tikva. The problem was with the cleanliness. In the filthy solitary cell the soldiers would place the portion of food on the garbage pail, and in the second cell they put the food right on the toilet. Once I went on a hunger strike because of that and I refused to eat the food and complained to the Shin Bet agent, but no one was the least impressed. I did not get any hot drinks other than once in a while insipid tea that I had to spill out. I lost 14 kilograms during my stay there. "There is no opening to the light or the sun and no daily walk. There is no possibility of getting a prayer book."
Is there any help available for victums of idenity theft that ca help the victums recover? FROM: Scott & Jennifer Giordano Helendale, CA. 92342 giordano-luv1@verizon.net SUBJECT: HELP PLEASE! To Whom It May Concern: If I may take a few minutes of your time I would like to share with you where and how my family arrived to our current situation with our lives, this includes our finances, and how we got to this point. On May of 2006 I left my previous 12 year job with County Fire Department for the following three reasons: (1) my position with County was being eliminated as of July 1st 2006. (2) Because I was losing my job with County I tried to be positive, aggressive, and proactive in finding a new job before I was let go. I Began testing in Colorado in October of 2005 and was doing very well. I continued testing for the next nine months truly believing I would be successful in getting a job in Colorado in particular with the Denver City Fire Department. I thankfully was very successful with my testing efforts and the job was pending on passing a final background. The Start/hire date was estimated to be around mid July giving us enough time to pack, move, and get established in our rental home before I started my new job. (3) My wife was pregnant with our second child and was put on mandatory bed rest by her doctor until further notice due to complications. This happened in the end of April and I resigned 8 days later with County to be with my wife and my two year old daughter. It’s about mid May of 2006; I am home packing the house to move, taking care of my wife and my daughter. I continued making trips to Colorado for final testing and to look for our new home and a rental. We as a family make a trip around the end of May and put money down on a new Pulte house in Broomfield Colorado as well as finding a rental to live in until our house is built. My parents came along with us because they are also selling their house and moving with us. Our current home in Helendale has not sold yet and the sellers market has dropped significantly from what it was one year ago. We decided that if it doesn’t sale before we move that we could afford to put it up for rent and we would be able to make up the difference with the money I would be making on my new job. By June we are recovering from the loss of the our baby but we are trying to stay focused on moving and are looking forward to this exciting new start with our lives in Colorado. Ten days after losing our baby we receive a letter from Denver City stating that I did not pass the final Background and was disqualified for employment. Very confused, I called to find out what happened and they said that they could not divulge any information but said that I could hire my own private investigator to find out what caused the problem. I follow their advice and hire an investigator and find out that we have been victims of identity theft for many years and the investigator stated that this would automatically disqualify me from any government/public service job. I was confused and angry without any idea what or how this had happened or how to fix this problem. It is now July of 2006 I am now without a job unable to move and trying to figure out what to do for a job to support my family and how do I accomplish fixing this identity theft problem. I spend the next 8 months trying to fixing the identity theft problem spending over 10, 000.00 dollars of our money (not to mention the 75,000 per year in wages and benefits that were lost when I was denied employment) making hundreds of phone calls to agencies such as San Bernardino County Sheriff, FBI, FTC, IRS, Homeowner insurance company, Social Security, AIG, Creditors, Banks, and many others. I have filed two dozen reports to meet the needs of every agency requesting documentation, I have also spend 8 to 10 hours a day looking for work, working on solving our multiple problems, or working on small jobs like washing cars, yard work, small construction jobs etc. I have turned in over thirty (30) applications but I am unable to find work because my fifteen years of experience, diploma, and formal training are all based on the Fire Service. The catch 22 dilemma is I can’t test for fire departments or other public service type jobs that I am trained and experienced in until the identity theft problem is solved or I would run into the same problem I had with Denver City. I continue to hear the same thing from every employer, why are you here and are you going to go back to the fire service? Once I explained the problem they seemed compassionate about my problem but were unable or unwilling to hire me. Over the months we get further and further behind financially. Our problems have now become a huge avalanche running at full speed and devouring everything in its path. Finally, after 8 months, hundreds of hours, applications, interviews and resumes I found a part time job. I started by mid January of 2007 and the job is teaching with a Community College. For now it is only part time but I am extremely happy to be working again. Even though I am working I continue looking for full time work in the fire service or anywhere else I can find. In the past several years I have been injured in a head on car accident with a drunk driver, had sever health issues related to stress/anxiety that required me to make multiple emergency room trips, lost a child, lost my grandmother on Christmas day, lost a best friend to cancer, lost another friend to a car accident, lost both cars that we owned, my identity, a career, my dreams, ambitions, hope, peace of mind, joy and our home in a matter of days. We have had our power turned off as well as water and cable (not a big loss there) we have had to call on our family or friends several times to drive us to work due to lack of gas money. We have bought food at discount stores (like day old bread) to save any money possible. We have also sacrificed many personnel items like golf clubs, Thomas Kinkaid art collection, football card collection, collector coins passed down by family, and many other valuable items that we had to garage sale or sold on EBay to make money just so we could survive. Our credit has been severely damaged and our faith challenged. In addition to all of that I continue to suffer from several illnesses requiring medications and a lot of doctor visits. We experienced a corrupt real-estate transaction when we tried to refinance our home to get money to help us and instead we lost 32,000 dollars and gained absolutely nothing but more headaches and attorney fees. That problem is currently under investigation with the DRE. We also gave up our dream to move to Colorado, a new house, a great new job doing what I love, and having the ability to help my parents who are retired and on a fixed income and were also counting/depending on moving. My wife and I are hanging on by a thread and are tired, stressed, frustrated, deeply depressed, angry, and confused. We really don’t want to lose the one thing we have left, our home. I totally and completely understand that this is not anyone else’s problem and that no one is responsible for helping us in any way, however, I hope that someone can find it in their hearts to help my family anyway possible. This is our problem and I take my commitment that I made to my family very serious and we continue to do all we can to make things right again. We really don’t want to lose our house and would like to get back on track. I refuse to walk away without trying to do everything in my power first. I don’t want a short sale or foreclosure, this does nothing for our mortgage company or my family to solve the problem and in the end we all lose. I am confident that there is an answer to all of these problems and that they can be solved. Again, I understand no one owes us anything and we very well may lose everything we have if that is Gods will, I just ask that if there is any way possible that anyone else may be aware of, please, help us help our selves so we can get back on our feet, please let me know. Please help us if you can in any way. Don’t forget, we definitely can use and would be grateful for your prayers. Please know and understand this; we have tried everything in our knowledge and power to fix the problem and we have asked for help from our family, friends, church and other sphere of influences. They have been great emotional support but most were unable to help other than that. I have written to Governor Arnold Schwartsanigger, Congress representatives Barbara Boxer and Jerry Lewis. I spoke with radio stations asking to share my story to educate others, and I might have the Wall Street Journal writing a story on our situation (waiting for confirmation). I have called or emailed hundreds of churches for prayers and help, called other family members out of state, friends and even complete strangers looking for help, ideas or any kind of work opportunities they may know of. I don’t know if there are any true heroes left in this world but I am calling 911 to my fellow country members during this major life changing crisis and I hope someone is going to respond. Please understand that I am a father and I love my family very much and I don’t want to see them in pain or in fear anymore, it just destroys me inside to see them suffer. I have tried everything I can to stop, save or change our situation to no avail. I wish I did not have to write this letter but it’s all I have left. I know at some point this will end and we will be better, smarter, humbled, joyful, peaceful, and more grateful for our lives and for the lives of others around us. I believe and hope that I can someday use this experience to help others that are struggling or have felt all alone with nowhere to run. As stated earlier in this letter I am now working and my wife starts working the first of April. We are confident that we can get back on our feet and are working hard to get our lives back on track. We are slowly getting there but it may be too late. Please understand that I have had to steal change from my two year old daughters little piggy bank just so I have gas to get to work. My sweet daughter told me that it is ok because she loves me. To give you an idea we have lost over 100,000 dollars this past year to year and half from these multiple problems, but we are not going to give up we are constantly praying and we are resilient, confident, humble and hard working and we are committed to make this unfortunate situation right again. We will try to do all we can to make this work and pray you can help us. I thank you so much for your time and consideration in regards to this matter.
