So, which one do you find "unbelievable" and why? And considering that prisoners would use their Korans to hide things, I suspect the detainees are lying.

So give us some good journalism--corroborate what Martin Mubanga told you.
* How does someone go on a year-long hunger strike without dying?
* What were these "masks" that they were allowed to hang their Korans in?
* "Martin Mubanga, one of the former detainees at Guantanamo, has previously spoken at rallies..." When was his first speech? Is it on the public record? What accusations did he make then?
* Get details! Dates, names, diagrams, other details that he wouldn't think to coordinate with his fellow liars (if they are lying), and interview the others separately. I think you'll find that their stories fall apart.

"He requested General Miller to place a sign in each cage, notifying soldiers not to handle or touch the Koran." I'm sure he did--a metal sign with nice sharp edges and corners, put up with sharp screws.

Sheesh. If you wanted journalism you're on the wrong blog mate. I thought you'd know that by now!

OK. You want malung journalism?

The first time I saw Martin Mubanga speak I was too pissed to understand anything. He was a good rapper though.

Watching a man who was detained for 3 years without trial and set free without charge singing

"I got no love for the american government..." was surreal.

Dates, names diagrams...well I saw a bound unpublished manuscript illustrated with hand drawn pictures of stress positions etc.

You are bloody quick to call them liars. I was standing three feet away from Martin Mubanga when he said this.

when I was eating chicken with him later it didn't occur to me to ask if he was a liar. As your government actually released him without charge after 3 years holding him against the geneva convention I didn't feel it was my place to put an extra accusations up.

Of course-hes a liar isn't he! Couldn't be anyhow else.

I think you have a problem handling the fact that your presidents reaction to sept 11th was to bomb his way into Afghanistan, rounding up mr.anymuslim like a pathetic cowboy

then bomb his way into a completely unrelated country making sure there are at least another few hundred thousand muslims who would look at sept 11th and want to do exactly the same.

all the while, the perpetrators of sept 11th. Where are they? Who is looking for them?

and you are congratulating him for this.

whats the news?

the multi-billion dollar US media machine says one thing. One man who even YOUR GOVERNMENT releases without charge after 3 years says something else.
