(Note to literalists: the Watched column presently contains only a smattering of 'warblogs' because the facilitator of the template-change--Dr. Menlo--is not very familiar with them, and will be adding more as they are sent to him. Also, this blog may contain areas of allusion, satire, subtext, context and possibly even a dash of the surreal: wannabe lit-crits beware.)

NABLUS - Israeli soldiers on Monday took Eric Levine, a U.S. human rights worker from New Haven, Conn.; Brian Dominick, a U.S. medical worker; and Peter Blacker, a U.K. medical worker to an army-occupied house near Nablus where they were made to stay under inhuman conditions, with no explanation, for over 45 hours. The detentions took place at 4pm on Monday, July 1.
The three were put in a small, unfinished room, out in the open. They remained in the open day and night without adequate shelter from the heat or nighttime cold. They were given one meal a day consisting of canned food and not allowed to use toilet facilities. The men repeatedly asked why they were being held and requested to make phone calls to their family and consulates, but were denied. Soldiers yelled at them, pushed them, and told them that if they tried to leave they would be shot.
