    There are a lot of jokes here and it's really fucked up. This poor man was terrorized and sexually assaulted. Is it funny because he's Asian? Or is it because he's a man? Because no 'real' man would ever allow himself to be in this position, so Mr. Tong must be a figure of fun. And shame on Gawker for publishing the photo of an assault victim. Hasn't this man been violated enough?

    On the plus side, Mr. Jiang offered to have Mr. Tong's suits pressed after each and every forced sexual encounter on the corporate account.

    PS: on a more serious note, is it standard to have sexual harassment victims pictured? I can see his boss' face blasted across the Internet, but seeing the victim's face makes me a bit queasy... Although, admittedly, I looked.

    @Trai_Dep: I was thinking the same thing as well. If this was a woman, I don't think the picture would have appeared here.

    And they were more than a victim of sexual harassment. From the description it sounds like they were sexually assaulted.

    He should have suspected something when he was advised that appropriate "casual Friday" attire was a ball gag and leather hood.

    ". . . and forcibly urinated into his mouth."

    I guess at SAC Capital, the golden parachute comes with its own shower.

    You have to expect, at the very least, a little tea-bagging if you work at a place called SAC Capital.

    "...just how sorry this pointless war really was, and is."

    This is flawed thinking. All war is equally pointless. There is always another way. War always ends in injustice at every level. Any attempt to show otherwise is pure revisionism.

    Thank you, John. I gotta say you really hit your stride with this piece. I seriously hope we'll get to read more work like this from Gawker. You guys are capable of SO much that print, TV and even NPR just refuse to do and cannot do.

    An inspirational and truly amazing scoop, John. Somebody get this man a lawyer pro-bono, hopefully this article gives him enough press to get a good lawyer but not too much that it would ruin his case. May your future be blessed and your sacrifices be compensated, Firas, for you have seen things no man should see and been through things no man should go through.

    I cannot begin to imagine what it is like to live every day with violence and death, and to nevertheless do what you believe is the right thing, in spite of the very real risks to yourself and loved ones. And then to not only have the worst come true, but serendipitously survive, and end up in a foreign land, friendless, and barely able to speak the language? Unspeakable.

    And this is just one story. Of likely millions now.

    It's all plausible, but an officer that doesn't act on specific information about the location of bombs?

    What else could be going on here?
