Innocents in Guantánamo

This is from a month ago, All Together Now: “Torture of Prisoners Is Immoral, Unwise, and Un-American” "Huzaifa Parhat, well into his seventh year at Guantánamo, had a civilian judge review the evidence for his detention for the first time last week. The court ruled that the Pentagon’s Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRT) declaration that Parhat was an unlawful enemy combatant is ‘invalid.’ They declared that Parhat must be released or given a new hearing."

Don't accept it when the right says that those at Guantánamo are terrorists, or al Qaeda, or even a threat to the US. Some of them are innocents, that we've held and tortured for, in this case, over 6 years.
