An article breaking down the charges, appeals, and treatment of a Guantanamo detainee from Afghanistan held since he was 12 or 13. Mr. Jawa attempted suicide in 2003 at Guantanamo Bay prison. Most of the evidence against him, consisting largly of forced confessions, is being thrown out after it was confirmed that he was tortured in both Afghanistan and at Guantanamo. Does the Obama justice department have any choice but to prosecute him? It seems like they are desperate to get these guys infront of a real court.
He appears this morning.
