The five Algerians were joined for most of their stay at Guantanamo by Al Jazeera camerman Sami Al-Haj, who was abducted in 2001 while attempting to enter Afghanistan to cover the war there for Al Jazeera, imprisoned at Guantanamo without ever being charged with any acts of terrorism, questioned almost exclusively not about Al Qaeda, but about the work of Al Jazeera, and then, after more than six years, unceremoniously released with no charges or findings of any wrongdoing whatsoever. As Reporters Without Borders summarized:
Regularly tortured and subjected to close to 200 interrogation sessions by his jailers, Sami Al-Haj began a hunger strike on January 7, 2007, in protest against his detention and to demand that his rights be respected. In retaliation, his jailers force-fed him on several occasions. His lawyer, Clive Stafford-Smith, who visited him in July last year, said he had lost about 40 pounds and was suffering from serious intestinal problems. He was also subject to bouts of paranoia and was finding it increasingly difficult to communicate normally.
It's embarassing that a majority of Americans do not care about this. Didn't we get into this mess trying to find justice for the 9/11 attacks? If justice is so important, than why is it so easy for people to turn a blind eye on the injustices they commit? What a joke.

Wasn't born in America + is brown = no one in America cares what barbaric things we do to them.
America IS the greatest country in the world, you traitor. If you don't like it you can get out! We don't want your type round here anyway.
NO, the one's that think torture are the traitors and need to move to N Korea, or somewhere with the mentality you think is OK. We are better than that, and once the traitor leaves the oval office we can start undoing the damage done by the bastard currently there.
