Here's a lawyer trying to get the word out on his client.
If he cant get due process in a court of law, he should at least get our eyeballs for a few minutes-- that this republican atrocity against the rule of law be seen by as many as possible.
Adel Hamad was a teacher of elementary school orphans, a hospital worker, and someone who coordinated the delivery of food, medicine and blankets to refugees. He has been imprisoned for 5 years and classified as an enemy combatant, despite the lack of any allegations or evidence that he ever acted against the U.S. or its allies, or even had political sympathies for those who did. His friends and colleagues describe him as a funny, apolitical man who loved charity work and ping-pong. One of the U.S. Army Majors at his Tribunal called his detention unconscionable.
Adel Hamad is an Enemy Combatant
Adel Hamad was not captured on a battlefield. Instead he was arrested in the middle of the night from his own home. He had a valid passport and work visa and Pakistani intelligence found nothing incriminating in his place of residence.
No allegations have been made against Adel Hamad that he engaged in terrorism, acts supporting terrorists, violence against the United States or any belligerent act.
Interviews with his employers, his colleagues, his brother-in-law, and his landlord all describe Adel Hamad as a family man with a good sense of humor, a man who never spoke of politics, who was not a radical or an extremist.

I know that here on Dkos that theres not a damn one of us that thinks that the unjust denial of due process in Gitmo is somehow good for america.
So, I'm not going to go on about how ridiculous and heinous it is, but I do need to make the minimum word limit so you can all have access to these links.
