The Raw Story | Journalist released from Gitmo calls it 'most heinous mankind has ever known': "An Al Jazeera cameraman who returned yesterday to his home of Sudan from Guantánamo Bay and delivered a speech broadcast live on Sudanese television described the US facility as 'heinous.'

His speech was broadcast live on Sudanese television. He was held at Guantanamo for seven years, and was never charged.

'After 2,340 days spent in the most heinous prison mankind has ever known, we are honored to be here. Thank you, and thank all those defended us and of our right in freedom,' said Sami al Hajj, who spoke at an event organized by his family.

Hajj is the only major mainstream news journalist ever to be held at the prison. His supporters claimed that he was being held in retaliation for US anger over the Arabic television network."

7 years, of his life gone, and he was never convicted of a crime, or even formally charged... Welcome to the new America...
