Man released from Guantanamo after 5 years

Remember, folks… if you listen to the wingnuts of the right, every single prisoner being held at Guantanamo is there because they are a known terrorist. Except when they’re not:

Police say a Bangladeshi man held for five years at the US prison camp in Guantanamo Bay has been flown back home after investigators there found no evidence he was a terrorist.

They say Mubarak Hussain Bin Abul Hashem, 32, has been flown to Dhaka on a special flight by US officials and handed over to local law enforcement officials for more interrogation.

…[T]he former detainees father, Abul Hashem, says his sons life has been “destroyed”.

“My son is innocent,” he said.

“He is neither a Taliban, nor a militant. He is a victim of the American war on terror. Why did they arrest him?

“His life is finished. They destroyed his life for nothing.

“In the name of fighting terror, Americans are in fact fighting Muslims like my son.

“I want justice. But where shall I get justice?”

The US ignored its own laws and principles to deny justice to Abul Hashem. Why would he expect to find justice anywhere else, when the United States has given up on the very idea of justice?
