confirmed to me his story's accuracy. I got the strongest sense of someone who had been through genuine trauma, who refused to compromise his own sense of right or wrong, and who totally believed that what he did was the right thing for his family and those he brought to safety. Ali has been an inspiration in my own life and I know he will affect many others. To allow his story to be told in such detail, when much of the explicit personal material would not normally be talked about in his culture, has taken great courage. During the time we worked together I developed a great admiration, respect and trust for him, as a decent and honest human being.
