An Iraqi journalist, along with his three brothers, in an absurd comedy of errors, was suspected of plotting the assassination British Prime Minister Tony Blair. The siblings eventually wound up at the infamous Abu Ghraib prison, where they were physically and mentally tortured by American soldiers for months - though there was no evidence against them.
