The Associated Press<\/a> reports that Musa’ab Omar Al Madhwani wrote a declaration for the court complaining that president Obama has “abandoned” those poor little guys. Join the club, buddy. He’s abandoned the entire country, why should you be special?<\/p>\n

Like most of the 166 prisoners remaining at Guantanamo, Al Madhwani is participating in a hunger strike to protest his detention and prison conditions. “Indefinite detention is the worst form of torture,” wrote Al Madhwani, who is in his 11th year at the prison and has never been charged with a crime.<\/p>\n

The judge said he found Al Madhwani’s testimony about harsh treatment at the hands of U.S. forces in Afghanistan prisons to be credible.<\/p>\n

“Before Guantanamo, he had endured 40 days of solitary confinement, severe physical and mental abuse, malnourishment, sensory deprivation, anxiety and insomnia,” Hogan said. But the judge ruled that statements Al Madhwani made during two military administrative hearings at Guantanamo were reliable and sufficient to justify holding him, because he had been “part of” al-Qaida.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

He hasn’t been abandoned, he’s right where he needs to be – where he can’t hurt anyone. If he wants to starve himself, that’s his choice. He’s locked away in an island resort where the weather is tolerable, once he got acclimatized. Sure he spent a tough 40 days, but that was prepayment for his tropical paradise vacation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
