Judge orders Afghan teen home after years at Guantanamo

07-31-2009 • McClatchy News

A young Guantanamo detainee appears likely to be sent home after a federal judge concluded he'd been held illegally and ordered him released after almost seven years.

"After this horrible, long, tortured history, I hope the government will succeed in getting him back home," U.S. District Judge Ellen Segal Huvelle told Justice Department lawyers during a court hearing. "Enough has been imposed on this young man to date."

I hope Judge Ellen has also ordered up the a decent sum of money for him, formerly called "compensation." He deserves a lot more than just our 'hopes.'

What disgusting arrogance.....

And when he gets to Afghanistan, the rebels will get a hold of him, throw him in a cave and torture the living crap out of him because, to them, he'll be an American spy. Man, it must really suck to be Arab!
