KHARTOUM, Sudan - An Al-Jazeera cameraman released from the U.S.-run Guantanamo Bay detention center last week described it Monday as the worst prison mankind has ever seen.
* A celebrity in his homeland:
Sami al-Haj, a Sudanese citizen, was whisked from his hospital bed in a convoy escorted by police cars with flashing lights and wailing sirens to an outdoor event in his neighborhood organized by his family. His speech was broadcast live on Sudanese television.
“After 2,340 days spent in the most heinous prison mankind has ever known, we are honored to be here. Thank you, and thank all those defended us and of our right in freedom,” he told the cheering crowd.
* You’ll find that prisons in Sudan are ‘most heinous’ and Gitmo is a 5 star facility
Al-Haj was the only journalist from a major international news organization held at Guantanamo and many of his supporters saw his detention as punishment for an Arabic television channel whose broadcasts angered U.S. officials.
The U.S. military charged he was a courier for a militant Muslim organization, an allegation his lawyers denied.
Al-Haj said he believed he was arrested because of U.S. hostility toward Al-Jazeera and because the media was reporting on U.S. rights violations in Afghanistan.
“I was subjected to 130 (interrogation) sessions, more than 35 about Al-Jazeera, and they wanted me to be a spy against Al-Jazeera,” he said. He said that as a faithful Muslim, he rejected the offer.

Here is what I don’t understand. Why are we letting these guys stay in Gitmo? Why not ship them to the prisons in Afganistan, or Iraq? They are all nothing but brown trash. Treat them like what they are. I’ll bet we could pay Mexico to house a few of them for some years too?
So, why don’t we?
