by Jahida Sayyadi
More than 18 months since the unlawful arrest of her son in the Gambia, Mrs. Jahida Sayyadi, mother of British Guantanamo detainee Bisher al-Rawi, puts pen to paper in this powerfully-argued, unedited essay.
I am not going to talk about my son’s detention in Guantanamo using this sort of sentimental vernacular that is expected from an agonised mother… Yes, the horrifying event has rendered me very emotional, strained and ragged by anxiety – for it is my beloved son whose destiny and life are in jeopardy. Yet I urge those who read this to react to it rationally, rather than emotionally, if they can, and if an absolute separation between emotions and rationality is possible! [More…]

American Terror Suspect's Path From Streets to Pentagon Brig (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=1396)
by Deborah Sontag
"Dirty Bomb" Suspect, Jose Padilla's mother, his ex-wife in Florida, his second wife in Egypt and friends have broken their anxious silence. Together with accounts from former and current government officials and court papers, they trace Mr. Padilla's journey from Pentecostal child preacher to Muslim convert to suspected terrorist, from a Taco Bell in Davie, Fla., to a pilgrimage site in Mecca to the Charleston, S.C., brig.

Sixty years ago, Edward Jackfert stood helpless in a Japanese labour camp, where torture was commonplace and rations miniscule, as fellow prisoners of war starved to death. Now Jackfert has taken up the cuase of Yaser Esam Hamdi - the American-born Saudi man captured 2½ years ago fighting alongside Taliban soldiers in Afghanistan and now being held in solitary confinement under orders of President Bush.

The Guantanamo Camps: a Mistake Repeated (http://www.cageprisoners.com/articles.php?aid=1387)
by Max Paul Friedman
Missing from the debate over the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba are the lessons of this country's only previous attempt to imprison foreign suspected subversives, captured overseas, in special camps beyond the reach of the courts. Last time, the targets were German immigrants taken from Latin America. As the Supreme Court joins the dispute, recalling the mistakes of the past provides insight into the present.

By Richard Phillipps
On April 8, Condoleezza Rice shamelessly declared that the Bush administration and its allies were “helping the people of Iraq and Afghanistan to build free societies...to spread the blessings of liberty and democracy as alternatives to instability and terror.” However, Washington’s version of “liberty and democracy” in Iraq is in reality a Nazi-style reign of terror aimed at suppressing all opposition to its illegal neocolonial occupation.
