It's hard to read "Guantanamo Diary" without asking "why is Slahi still there?"
His almost 15 years of imprisonment included many months of brutal torture at Guantanamo, a prison that has brought shame to all Americans.
Free Slahi and Close Guantanamo!
Why is this important?
As an American reading "Guantanamo Diary," I was sickened by the accounts of US-inflicted torture on Slahi and his fellow prisoners. I asked myself: "Why is he still there?' and "Why is Guantanamo still there, shaming us all?"
