Drudge Retort: Red Meat for Yellow Dogs
Saturday, August 01, 2009

A young Guantanamo detainee appears likely to be sent home after a federal judge concluded Thursday that he'd been held illegally and ordered him released after almost seven years. Mohammed Jawad, who could have been as young as 12 when first detained, had evidence against him tossed out because it was obtained through torture. If he's released, Jawad plans to return to his family and he hopes to study to become a doctor, said his attorney Jonathan Hafetz.

Doctor of 'Death To Americans'. Mohhamed Jawad, DDA.

If he really was 12 like the Afghans claims then what a bummer spending your teenage years in prison.

since they don't keep good records in afghanistan... especially in the rural areas where this kid is probably from

he's was probably somewhere in between 12 and 17

"These will be the best years of your life," they say.

Actually, I think it's pretty lame if your best years were when you were a teenager, but a lot of people say that.

he's was probably somewhere in between 12 and 17

Safe bet. Apparently that still didn't convince the interrogators not to torture him.

Doctor of 'Death To Americans'. Mohhamed Jawad, DDA.

I hope this kid's life wasn't ruined by being tortured and wrongfully imprisoned alongside actual terrorists for 7 years. That sort of trauma can't help but leave scars, though.

If he becomes a "Doctor of Death to America," he would have been educated right here. That's the funny thing about torture and indefinite detention, especially of the innocent. The victims may have been indifferent to you beforehand, but their opinion isn't going to, er... improve... over time.

They tortured teenagers in Guantanamo?

Doesn't that make you feel proud! Damn it yes!

By tortured they mean he was forced to use soap, brush his teeth, and learn to read.

101, I don't think this news article is about your childhood, lol!

Gosh, I am just so proud of America.

We lock up, in prison, anyone who has sex with someone under 18 but the same folks who support that don't object to this teenager being held at Guantanom for 7 years without a trial.
A good portion of America is really unAmerican.

"Mohammed Jawad, who could have been as young as 12 when first detained, had evidence against him tossed out because it was obtained through torture"

And it only took seven years. Ain't American justice grand?

Who said he was tortured? What do they define torture as? You don't have to be 18 to toss a grenade at american soldiers. Thank God they weren't killed by that little bastard.

his confession to Afghanistan authorities had been coerced by torture because they threatened to arrest and kill his family.

Wish we could use that tactic here. Speed up the whole judicial process.

The Right.

NorthGay3,

Democrats are far more experienced at torture than republicans could ever be. Just having to listen to little dickocrats like Jeanine Garafalo, Nancy Pelosi, Katie Couric, Keith Odorproblem, and the rest of the merry clusterfucks in the democrat party day after day on TV crying there fucking eyes out over every little thing is enough to make me puke. If that isn't torture then I don't know what torture is.

I would rather be waterboarded in a tank of rats and feces than to hath to listen to Nancy Sleazy Pelosi give one more of her rambling incherent lie filled speaches.

Now he's hooked on heavy metal music.

Now the taliban is recruiting them (kidnap and brainwash) as young as 9.

Sure you would.

You would probably recoil into the fetal position at the sight of a raised fist.

Some of those kids are in their twenties now, and if they hold a grudge we'll hopefully see law suits against the terrorists in our military who tortured them.

Oh, you are so hard core, big tuff fake patriot. Metaphorically speaking, cowards like you are big brown skid marks on the American Flag. But you and your ilk are just too fucking dumb to see it.

"You don't have to be 18 to toss a grenade at american soldiers. Thank God they weren't killed by that little bastard."

they couldn't even prove he tossed the grenade without torture after 7 years.

probably cause he didn't do it.

FTA: Mohammed Jawad, who could have been as young as 12 when first detained, had evidence against him tossed out because it was obtained through torture

"I was a Tortured Teenaged Detainee"?

Hmmm... Spud smells After-School Special here.

Could be good!

More seriously?

Hope this kid goes on to become a doctor as his lawyer states he wants.

Be Well.

Most likely.

This case reminds Spud of the Omar Khadr case.

In that case a 15 year old Omar was the sole survivor of a fire fight between Al Quada militants and US forces that ended with an air strike.

An American soldier died due to a grenade fired from the compound.

The odds that Omar actually fired that grenade are very slim but that's the charge against him.

Aside from that there is video footage of Omar helping make IEDs.

Ergo there will be no resolution like the one in this story for Omar.

That sed wot kind of punishment should you give a 15 year old who really had little to no say in the madness his asshole father dragged him into?

Spud can't tell ya.

Be Well.
