it is very sad that this happened, particularly knowing that this goes in within my own country. i am very happy to see however that sami has been released after six and a half years of detention and hope that others in guantanamo will be released as wel inshAllah. as someone who lives in the united states i am well aware of the smear campaign perpetrated by the bush administration against al jazeera and am extremely glad to be able to see al jazeera programs on the internet so that i can learn for myself that it is a valuable link particularly for myself being someone in the west to a perspective that i dont get to see everyday being a united states citizen. thank you so much for posting!
