Al-Rawi, 35, who was arrested by the CIA and local security forces during a business trip to Gambia in 2002, is showing clear signs of secure housing unit psychosis, a clinical condition that afflicts high-security prisoners, said Clive Stafford Smith, one of the lawyers.

I think that would be an overall improvement over his being a psychotic Jihadist murderer.

[Rapscallion]

I suggest we release the prisoner into Smith's caring custody. Let Smith take responsibility for the prisoner's actions.

[oceanview]

actually, is the path clear now to using military tribunals down there? they had better get moving, if a Dem wins the presidency in 2008, they will release these prisoners en masse.

What, he's losing HIS sanity. He should have to listen to Nazi Pelosi for 5 minutes! I'm losing my sanity I tell ya!!! Send me to Gitmo so I don't have to listen to that idiot for the next 2 years.

[maica]

Gee,
how have thousands of Americans "detained" in prisoner of war camps managed to survive sane. What are they doing at Gitmo that was not done in spades in the Philippines or Germany.

Maybe "Bisher's treatment" can be trademarked.

What a propaganda article from the Observer!

And I should feel sorry for this person because?

Hmmm...I thought Allah was supposed to sustain you and give you strength during hardship? Isn't doing a very good job, is he?

[clamper1797]

He had already lost his soul to Islam (AKA Satan death cult)

[Al Simmons]

Gee, this article makes it sound like we're arresting peanut vendors in Iraq. Where's the 'rest of the story' on this guy?

Was he accidentally caught trying to sell peanuts to al-Zarqawi?

Or did he come back to join the 'Jihad'?

I do not believe that we'd have arrested him without some strong evidence he was involved...

[frogjerk]

Al-Rawi is an Iraqi who fled late Iraqi president Saddam Hussein's dictatorship as a child and settled in Britain. Alone of his family, he retained citizenship of Iraq in the hope that one day he would be able to claim the family's abandoned property. He was arrested with his brothers -- one of whom is also in Guantanamo -- and two other men during a trip to set up a peanut processing business. He has never been charged.

Two things...

1. This is subtle...did anyone ever refer to Mussolini or Hitler as the late Benito Mussolini or the late Adolph Hitler after the died?

2. Did the peanuts resemble IEDs?

[Minutemen]

Does the "British resident" wear a rag on his head??

[Argus]

"The conditions in which he is being held are worse than any death row I've ever seen," he said.

I wonder how many caring, sensitive third world death rows this guy's been to?

[Brad from Tennessee]

Drill three or four holes in his skull to let the evil demons escape.

[the_Watchman]

The author quotes Smith regarding the declining mental state of prisoners at Gitmo matching others he had visited.

They neglect to point out the possibility that maybe Smith could be the common cause! Maybe Smith should no longer be allowed to visit prisoners in order to protect their mental state.

[Ukiapah Heep]

Lost his sanity? Has he looked behind the refrigerator?
