that old chestnut

Why was he sent to Guantanamo bay in the first place? What did he do?

'US authorities, however, said that while in Afghanistan Mr Mohamed fought on the front line against anti-Taleban Northern Alliance forces.'

It's a difficult one making an opinion on this. Either you detain him, ask him if he was fighting, he's going to reply no, and you release him - allowing him to possibly kill people by fighting against the anti-taliban forces.

Or, you obtain evidence through questionable means, but at least you know he's telling the truth.

no the united states are just as bad as these people, instead of giving him a fair trial he was held in detention for 7 years

as far as i am concerned this man has done nothing, because he hasnt been found guilty in a court of law

But a court of law wouldn't have found out the truth. This man is dangerous by the sounds of it (although the BBC article makes it sound like he's done nothing wrong).

I dont agree with torture at all, but in this occasion, maybe it was the right thing to do
