Moon movement furnishes an Abu Ghraib translator, then erases him
Nakhla, who helped interrogate prisoners at the notorious Abu Ghraib prison but had a mild attack of conscience, is just a regular guy. Did some COBOL programming, then moved on with the times and learned the new Cisco software. Not a guy with any specialized training, to speak of, in sitting on captive Iraqis. But that's what this member of the far-right Unification movement found himself doing.
I'm going, of course, by his resume. The New York Times found his resume posted on Unification.net. But the webmaster has taken it down. So that link's from the absolutely essential Internet Wayback time machine.
While the Moon movement has attempted to erase Nakhla's existence from their "People" section, you can still find his name at the search engine (screenshot). Nakhla was one of only about 15 people listed in the "People" section of the site.
On the Wayback Machine, his resume appears as follows:
Seeking a challenging computer or sales related position in the Washington DC metropolitan area.
BACKGROUND SUMMARY
19 years of computer and sales support experience in positions with progressive and diverse sales and computer related responsibility. Expert knowledge of HP, Compaq, IBM, DEC, 3-Com and Cisco hardware; Novell software; Windows NT, MAS90, Maximizer, PC installation, networking and software applications, specifying the correct hardware and software configuration for a given application. Experienced in staff training, insurance regulations and restrictions, and general sales operations.
He also lists a professional honor that might have scored him the job.
Six month Perfect Attendance Award for three consecutive years.
The Heritage Foundation is still the best place to get an entry-level job with the Coalition Provisional Authority, though, according to this Washington Post story.
