Gitmo Undergrad; Obama has “abandoned” us
The Associated Press 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?
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.
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.
“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.
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.

Let me see if I can work up some sympathy for this guy…….nope I got nothing.
Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy because she got a positive result for the BRCA1 gene marker, which designates her as being at risk for both breast cancer, which won’t kill you, and ovarian cancer, which has a very high death rate.
I have a great deal of sympathy for her. Her future is still uncertain.
I have little to no sympathy for al-Madhwani, his fellow inmates now, and any who join him the future. I’ll send him a can of Campbell’s Pork & Beans with a card.
He’s mad because they didn’t provide one of those little decorative umbrellas in his banana daiquiri.
/Tropical Paradise Indeed.
//I wish I could hang out at a place like Club Gitmo. I *never* get vacations.
Look, Musa’ab! Look! Look at ALL the fucks I give!!!!
The fact that the Club Gitmo residents are bitching about “their guy” letting them down should tell you all you need to know about 1–how they feel about Obama, 2–how they felt about Bush, 3–which one had America’s best interests at heart and in practice.
Right on, Sparky.
Hey, let’s send Chip to Adult Spacecamp for a week. With no TV.
And no spacesuit. And no spaceship.
You could add up all the fucks I give and all the fucks Sparky gives and by God, that would be a lot of fucks not given. Rot you jihadi bitch!!!
I hope this story gets publicized from here to Adak and back at least once a day and twice on Sunday. I want the American consciousness saturated with the fact that one of the terrorists consider Obama to be “their guy”.
@ 5 & 6,
Man you guys are *rough*. You’d probably send me to be water boarded on the Disney Pirates of the Caribbean ride.
@ 8,
They’re just mad that their absentee ballets were all for naught now.
“…harsh treatment at the hands of US forces…”
If they’re still in one piece and breathing, their treatment wasn’t harsh. If they’d ever run into “harsh,” we wouldn’t be listening to them whine about it now.
Who here has detained someone and not been accused of harsh treatment? It’s their SOP. Thats why my unit took our name tapes off of our body armor, because quite a few would accuse us by name.
Chip–Disney doesn’t have that ride anymore. They changed it for this year’s “Ghey Days” and are renaming it, “Perverts of the Carribean”…
Yo homo, yo homo!
It’s a pervert’s life for me!
So here’s some candy little boy,
Now sit upon my knee!
Yo homo, yo homo!
It’s a pervert’s life for me!
Our job of detaining these folks would be so much easier if we just fed them three squares a day, let them refuse it, and then let them starve themselves to death. No; instead we have to make it difficult by force-feeding them and prolonging our agony.
OH, TopGoz, they’re just getting the same treatment a horse gets when it’s wormed by a vet: a hose up the nose and foul-tasting liquid pumped into its stomach.
The only difference is the Gitmovians don’t get a twitch on their upper lips.
Gitmovians: Hey! I just pulled a John ‘not a tunnel rat, either’ Kerry: I invented a new country named Gitmovia.
The only sympathy I can find for them is somewhere between “shit” and “syphilis” in the dictionary. SCREW ‘EM!!!
I’d be ok if we released him in the Atlantic Ocean with a couple of cinder blocks tied to his ankles….that would be a fair alternative to being abandoned in Gitmo….
“Obama has abandoned us!”
Lucky you.

We haven’t forgotten them, we’re just ignoring them. Best we just leave it that way.
