Inside Look: Actor Spends 2 Years in Pakistani Prison
I read an article over the weekend in Men's Journal about Erik Aude, a bit-part actor who was in Dude Where's My Car (I haven't seen this one), who was arrested in Pakistan for smuggling opium. He was doing a friend a favor, he thought, until authorities discovered 1.2 million bucks worth of opium stitched in the lining of the suitcase he was carrying.

Read the tragic tale of his life in a prison hostile to Americans, plus his survival tactic of converting to Muslim just to save his skin. We believe that we have it so tough, that all the world's against us, until I read something like this modern day account of what survival is all about. A grim account of beatings, torture, and solitary confinement is the order of the day: read it now.

And because of my imprisonment many of the Christians here seem to have lost their fear of chains. -Paul, Letter to the Phillipians 12:14
