The name in the title doesn't mean much to most Americans, but a google search shows the guy is the second secretary of Iran's Embassy in Iraq.
Why should we know his name? I'm glad you asked:
He was released the day before the 15 British Sailors were released.
Maybe there's nothing there, move along, nothing to see - certainly do not bother the read between the lines.
Jalal Sharafi said the CIA questioned him about Iran's relations with Iraq and assistance to various Iraqi groups, according to state television.
"Once they heard my response that Iran merely has official relations with the Iraqi government and officials, they intensified tortures and tortured me through different methods days and nights," he said.
At the time of his disappearance, Iran alleged the diplomat had been abducted by an Iraqi military unit commanded by American forces - a charge repeated by several Iraqi Shiite lawmakers. U.S. authorities denied any role in his disappearance. Houston Chronicle Article
Well, there's nothing to it then, because U.S. authorities, whoever the hell they are, denied any role in this.
The guy was missing for a month.
State television said signs of torture were still visible on Sharafi, who is being treated at an Iranian hospital.
Nah, the C.I.A. would never do this, we already know that because our commander in chief said so:
" Although the president adamantly denied that the U.S. government uses torture, the United States has used practices such as waterboarding that can only be called torture. "
Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch
Oops, perhaps we need to define "torture"
After years of denials, the CIA has formally acknowledged the existence of two classified documents governing aggressive interrogation and detention policies for terrorism suspects, according to the American Civil Liberties Union.
But CIA lawyers say the documents -- memos from President Bush and the Justice Department -- are still so sensitive that no portion can be released to the public.

Folks, we are living under a Fascist Government that lies with impugnity, craps on the civil rights of it's citizens, tortures the citizens of other countries, and does all of this and more while wrapping itself in our once proud flag with the bible in their hands.
I can't sleep at night anymore.
