lost 13 years of his life. will the government pay for that?
Shaker Aamer traveled to Afghanistan to join the Taliban / Al Qaeda. Although there is no concrete evidence of any war crimes committed by him, we can safely assume that he fought among the radical Islamists for many months, before his eventual capture by the Northern Alliance. He is quite lucky to be alive now. Had the Russians captured him, then they would have cut off his balls...
Not just concrete evidence. There is no evidence for any of that. The bush administration admitted that. That is what happens when prisoners are tortured for information. They lie. And what happens when americans pay ransom for prisoners. The northern alliance is paid for some people they capture. How many did they get rid for their own reasons?
