He fled to the home of heroin to get away from drugs? Yeah, right... And why did he need to "flee" *before* 9/11 when there were no Western occupiers in Afghanistan at that time?
Gitmo should be closed but the idea that all the detainees are poor misunderstood Muslim victims is so much bullsh*t.

Assalaam alaikum and Greetings

If these detainees where held in the 'normal' USA and UK prisons (etc), it would have been established by now whether these detainees were responsible for the claims against them (and thus locked up for good) or whether they were innocent (and thus freed).

Since the USA came up with the words "enemy combatants" for these prisoners, and moved them to Cuba, they (the USA) effectively ensured that these prisoners were not entitled to the protections of the Geneva Conventions.

I find it disturbing that prisoners can be kept this long without any credible evidence, and to the seclusion of the outside world.

Guantanamo should be shut down.

The prisoners released to their home countries, where the home countries decide on a trial (to at least establish if they are guilty or not).

I suspect that if they haven't been found guilty by now, then there is no evidence against them. So they should be released.

Wasalaams

If the guy is innocent, then he should be free. However, he has a lot of explaing to do in regards of how he got there.

As MPAC is so concerned about human beings being incarcerated, is there going to be a demo soon for the release of the British citizens held illegally in Iraq?

If not, I detect double standards.

Here is a guy who has been tortured in Morocco and had a confession obtained because of this torture. The brits who interrogated him told me he was 'no one'

If thy guy is so guilty - why cut up his body with a scalpel to make him say that he was a terrorist? Why send him to Morocco of all places? Why hold him in Khandahar and expose him to 24 hours of music at high volumes?

Where's the evidence that he's guilty? The US and UK are still unable to provide any reliable evidence after 6 years?

Why was Jose Padilla (who Binyam was supposed to help in carrying out an attack in the states) been charged with a different crime altogether? Where's the proof that these two guys actually knew each other?

Where was Binyam going to get the radio active material to carry out this alleged dirty bomb attack in the states?

How can a recent convert to Islam just go to Afghanistan and within months join the higher ranks of Al-Qaida? If it was that easy - surely the US could have infiltrated Al-Qaida themselves?

Colin and William clearly have no idea what they are talking about

An innocent man has been tortured and held illegally while his fellow 'Muslims' have just ignored his plight. In all the campaigning that goes on against GTMO, Extraordinary Renditions, Ghost detentions etc, it’s only the non-Muslims who actually do anything. While the rest of us just sit around and do nothing…
