SALAHI'S DIARY: After years of DOD delays, we get a first hand account of what it like being a GITMO prisoner for almost a decade, having NEVER been charged.
The diary is over 400 pages, written by a highly educated Middle Eastern man captured in Germany based what appears to be "guilt by association" is a very compelling read, worthy your time.
Is it true? How can we know. Gitmo is shrouded in secrecy; however, I found the account credible based on the pictorial revelations of Abu Graib and black sites.
There a few parts that are highly redacted, ie the lie detector tests, but the majority is readible with just names redacted. There is also some redundancy. This GITMO detainee was held in solitary confinement for years in squalor. All and all, he miraculously maintained more than a modicum of sanity, so some redundancy was very understandable.
Again, this is a highly recommended read. Here is the link (i made a note of what page I left off at each reading session as the copy reverted to p.1 when I exited.
A very dark slice of American History we can mostly thank Rumsfeld and BushCo for.
It is so difficult to own what our country is doing to people outside the laws of our country and the Geneva Convention.
