Have you every heard from someone who was held at Guantanamo Bay? Not surprisingly those individuals that have been released from GB (approximately 420, none of whom were charged with any crime) have not been outspoken in their first days, months, and years after their release. Most are trying to piece together their lives after years of imprisonment and torture. However, it is essential for us to hear their stories.
This is a link from BBC's website to an interview that one of their reporters conducted recently (July 2008) with Jumah Mohammad al-Dossari, a Saudi Arabian citizen who was held in GB for six years and released with no charge in July 2007.
His story is important and his words are inspiring for those of us who must work to put together the broken pieces of the US legal system and ultimately the dignity and humanity of the United States. Click on this link to listen to the 11 minute interview.
