I have just read of a very interesting Islamic law regarding salt:  If a
Muslims eats another person's salt, he/she cannot betray that person!
The example given was of a thief who broke into a rich man's safe, took
all the gold, then found and opened a small pill box that contained a
white powder.  The thief tasted the powder and found it to be salt.
According to that law, he was bound to put all the loot back, and did
so!  The law is known as Namak (Salt) Haram (Sin).  It seems that the
law holds even is one is tricked into eating the salt!

I therefore propose that CIA agents interrogating Muslim detainees bring
their own personal salt from their homes (along with receipts proving
that they or their wives bought said salt at the grocery store) and feed
it to the detainees!  Namak Haram would then force the detainees to
answer the CIA agents' questions truthfully, for to lie to the CIA
agents would count as betraying them!

I also propose that the U.S. government buy salt and feed it to Muslims
who work for the government, and Muslims all over the world, thus
bounding those Muslims to not betray the U.S.!
