Athena, among others, has sent us a link to this story<\/a> about Terry Holdbrooks, who claims that he was a Guantanamo guard who converted to Islam as a result of his conversations with a detainee several years ago. Of course, you’re wondering if he was a actually a Gitmo guard, and we wrote about him four years ago<\/a> and got his records. So yeah, he was a guard at that camp. I also had some email conversations with him during which he sent us his DD214 which also confirmed his duty there. <\/p>\n

But, the stories that he tells about his time there less believable as evidenced in the linked article. At the time I wrote about him, he blamed Christianity for the way we treated our enemies, so he converted to Islam. I wonder how he justifies the way that Islamists treat their prisoners, or the innocents who get blown up while they’re doing their daily shopping. Or how he justifies shooting a 14-year-old girl in the face.<\/p>\n

So, now he’s back on his high horse urging the release of Guantanamo prisoners;<\/p>\n

\u201cIslam teaches you that if you see an injustice in the world, you should do anything within your power to stop it,\u201d Holdbrooks said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, unless those injustices are committed by Muslims, apparently, because he’s only condemning US actions and not things like hanging people for being gay or stoning rape victims. Since he Googles his name, I’m sure he’ll be by here to justify this glaring blind spot that he has for Islamist atrocities. I’m not saying that his stories about his time at Guantanamo are true, just that he was there.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
