Gitmo Is Killing Me – Opinion

A Guantanamo Bay inmate,  Samir Naji al Hasan Moqbel, who has been incarcerated for the last 11 years, without having ever been charged with a crime, or having had a trial, expressed his anguish in an opinion column published in the NYTimes recently. 

..no one seriously thinks I am a threat — but still I am here. Years ago the military said I was a “guard” for Osama bin Laden, but this was nonsense, like something out of the American movies I used to watch. They don’t even seem to believe it anymore. But they don’t seem to care how long I sit here, either.
