Jonathan Keith Idema
"Jonathan Keith “Jack” Idema, the con man extraordinaire from Fayetteville who spent years in an Afghan prison for running a private jail and torture chamber while claiming to be a secret Pentagon operative, has died in Mexico.
His death at age 55 marks the end of perhaps the most colorful, unpleasant and self-dramatizing character to tread North Carolina soil since Blackbeard."
Amazing story, as someone commmented elsewhere : "I don't understand how the logistics of turning up in Afghanistan and kidnapping people to torture them would even work. Where do you live? Where do you get money for food and transportation and security? How does one even get into Afghanistan in the first place?"

A cheap one way ticket to Kabul airport will set you back about £500 from London.
