What do they do, "Hey we better order some more of those jumpsuits, I think we are getting low..." Just doesn,t make since to me. Correct me if I am missing anything on this particular point.

His clothes certainly look like standard issue orange military prison silks, to me. He was in the custody of the Iraqi police for over two weeks prior to being released, and almost immediately kidnapped. Maybe the prison let him keep or purchase his jumpers. And then, after being kidnapped, his captors found them in his bags and decided to make him wear them to ram home the point that this was retaliation for the goings-on at Abu Ghraib. I don't know. Nobody knows at this point.
And that's the problem. The Bush administration's strict policy of secrecy and subterfuge, of keeping the American public in the dark over anything except that which the Power That Be determine they NEED to know.... it breeds paranoia.
Not that secrecy is the only problem with this tape. This tape is riddled with weirdness. One of the hardest parts in discussing it is trying to figure out where to begin.
