Read the excerpt from part 4 of Zeitoun. Moments later, another passing soldier looked at Zeitoun and muttered "Taliban." And as much as he wanted to dismiss both comments, he couldn't. Now he was sure that there was a grave misunderstanding taking place, and that unraveling it, disproving it, was going to take days. Todd ranted, but Zeitoun knew it would do no good. The question of their innocence or guilt would not be answered in this room, not any time soon. Why does the author include these details? to compare and contrast Todd and Zeitoun's experiences to reveal the prevailing racist sentiment among the soldiers to acknowledge the need for a speedy trial for war criminals to emphasize Zeitoun's efforts to understand the soldiers
