Guantanamo Bay Rant #1

I just don't get how the US has got away with this atrocity!!

Haji Nasrat, 77 - Relaeased in 2006 after 3 1/2 years in Gitmo

Haji Nasrat was one of the eldest prisoners held. Partially paralyzed for more than 15 years and illiterate, Nasrat says he does not know why the Americans detained him. In his statement to American authorities Nasrat said, "When (the Americans) came to Afghanistan everybody was waiting for America to help us build our country. We were looking for you guys and we were very happy that you would come to our country. The people who hated you were very few, but you just grabbed guys like me. Look at me. Our very happiness, you changed it to (bitterness)." Bravo!! Well done America you REALLY won hearts and minds! This kind of shit really pisses me off!! HOW DARE THEY DETAINEE THIS OBVIOUSLY INNOCENT MAN! GET REAL! PARALYSED FOR 15 YEARS - YEA IM SURE HE CAN RUN AROUND SHOOTING PEOPLE!

There are men with families, INNOCENT MEN, rotting away in a place I can only imagine to be like hell on Earth! There's generous souls like Fayiz Al-Kanderi rotting away in there when there's absolutely no need, Kuwait wants him back, he CAN go home but why won't the US let him go? It 'll save them costs but no! They just want to squander the taxpayers money and go against all the principles they try so hard to force on the people of the Middle East - hypocrisy seeps through the Government, hardly suprising!

Then there are men like Ali Abdullah Ahmed, Mani al-Utaybi, Yasser al-Zahrani, Abdul Rahman Ma'ath Thafir al Amri and Mohammad Ahmed Abdullah Saleh Al Hanashi who died in the most cruel place on Earth. I can only imagine the desperation, the humiliation, the self helplessness these men felt that they felt they had to take their own lives to be at peace. May God have mercy on them.

Do I actually believe they killed themselves - maybe? I can't judge them and their situation, I'd rather believe that then the other possibility which doesn't bear thinking about.

"The government’s investigation is slipshod, and its conclusion leaves the most important questions about this tragedy unanswered. Taking the military investigation’s findings as truthful and complete, in order to have committed suicide by hanging, the detainees had to:

• Braid a noose by tearing up their sheets and/or clothing
• Make mannequins of themselves so it would appear to the guards they were asleep in their cells
• Hang sheets to block the view into the cells, in violation of SOPs
• Stuff rags down their own throats
• Tie their own feet together
• Tie their own hands together
• Hang the noose from the metal mesh of the cell wall and/or ceiling
• Climb up on to the sink, put the noose around their necks and release their weight, resulting in death by strangulation
• Hang dead for at least two hours completely unnoticed by guards"

With the above info you can come to a pretty fair conclusion that the guards must have been pretty dappy to have not noticed any of the above!

There's awesome men and women out there defending and fighting for these illegal detainees to have the rights and the freedom that we are currently blessed with . Here's a list of a VERY few:

• Lt. Col. Barry Wingard <--- Fayiz Al-Kanderi
• Dennis Edney <---- Abdullah and Omar Khadr
• Gareth Peirce <---- Tipton Three, Moazzam Begg & Richard Belmar
• Joshua Colangelo-Bryan <--- Juma Al Dossary & Abdulla Majid Al Naimi

I pray that On the Day we are Judged by the Almighty He humiliates our failed leaders, the oppressors, the tyrants, the false Kings - the ones who betrayed their oaths to serve their people and to be fair and just! I pray the victims of this obvious injustice remain patience and steadfast - May Allah keep their hearts and minds strong!
