READ “GUANTANAMO DIARY” AND YOU’LL
ASK THE SAME QUESTION I’M ASKING:
How is it that the judicial system in the
U.S. doesn’t hold real criminals such as those responsible for these unimaginable
types of torture accountable? Mohamedou Ould Slahi has been subject to a whole
range of merciless torture techniques during his 12 year in Guantanamo without
any charges leveled against him. And he’s still there! That includes 70 days
without sleep during which time he received 24-hour a day interrogation; and
the order allegedly from Rumsfield to forbid him from praying. A former
Guantanamo prosecutor stated that Slahi is as much of a terrorist as Forrest
Gump! The diary, which was originally heavily redacted, has been released after
a 7-year legal battle and has surprisingly become a best-seller.
The real culprit is the U.S. justice
system. Isn’t its role to probe, prosecute and castigate in cases like this? If
it doesn’t act in cases of crimes against humanity, than how reliable can it
be? How committed can its prosecutors and judges be to guaranteeing justice?
