More on Kangaroo Court Conviction

     I forgot to mention that while convicted of several counts of  "supporting terrorism", Salim Hamden was acqitted on "three other" charges and  exonerated of a couple charges of  "conspiracy."[Commentary on  newspaper article "Military jury convicts bin Laden's ex-driver" by Mike Melia of the Associated Press which appeared in the Daily News Transcript on Thurs. 8/7/'08].
     I subscribe to two newsletters about politics: "The Hightower Lowdown" ,  www.hightowerlowdown.org   and  "The Washington Spectator",  www.washingtonspectator.org . In the July 1, 2008 issue of   "The Washington Spectator" was mentioned another unfortunate in Guantanamo Prison. His name is Murat Kurnaz.  I haven't read his book, but it seems well worth reading. It is entitled  Five Years of My Life: An Innocent Man in Guantanamo
