Dead Guantanamo Prisoner About Why He Gave Up on Life
John Knefel, AlterNet: ''Adnan Latif was found dead in his cell on September 10th, 2012, just a day before the eleventh anniversary of 9/11?. He suffered at the hands of the US government in ways that most people can t begin to comprehend, and his death should be a reminder that the national shame that is Guantanamo Bay lives on and now enjoys bipartisan support.''

Ninth prisoner dies at Guantanamo
Albany Democrat-Herald
09/10/12
Another prisoner has died at the U.S. Navy base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the U.S. military said Monday, two days after the man was apparently found unconscious in his cell at the isolated, high-security prison. Guards administered first aid to the prisoner before he was rushed to a base hospital, where he was declared dead 'after extensive lifesaving measures had been performed,' the U.S. military s Southern Command said in a brief statement...

Eleven years after 9/11, Guantanamo is a political prison
Future of Freedom Foundation
by Andy Worthington
09/06/12
Eleven years since the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, the majority of the remaining 168 men in Guantánamo are held not because they constitute an active threat to the United States, but because of inertia, political opportunism, and an institutional desire to hide evidence of torture by U.S. forces, sanctioned at the highest levels of government. That they are still held, mostly without charge or trial, is a disgrace that continues to eat away at any notion that the United States believes in justice...

MSNBC
09/11/12
The Guantanamo detainee found dead in his prison cell last weekend had been cleared for release three years ago by an Obama administration task force that concluded that his detention was no longer necessary, NBC News has learned. The disclosure that the detainee, Adnan Farham Abdul Latif, a 32-year-old Yemeni citizen, had been approved for repatriation could raise new questions about the handling of his case and those of scores of others held in Gitmo who also have been cleared for release...

We should bear in mind what the Pentagon initially had in mind when it established its prison camp and judicial system at Guantanamo Bay after the 9/11 attacks. Its plan was to make its prison camp totally independent from any judicial review or congressional control whatsoever. It was going to be a facility that would under the total control of the military...
