As an American, I am disgusted and embarassed by the torture that this man and any of the other Guantanamo prisoners have had to endure. I hope that I see the day that Bush, Cheney, Rumsfled and company are brought to justice for these crimes and for crimes against humanity in attacking Iraq, killing Iraquis and so many coalition forces. It was a war of choice for no good reason. We Americans, who supported and elected President Obama hope to bring this sorry story to an end and bring America back to its ideals as stated in our Declaration of Independence and the American constitution. The eight years of the Bush regime was a very sad and shameful episode in our history. My ancestors came from France to the new world in 1669 and believe me, if President Obama had not been elected, I was making plans to immigrate back to France.

This interview was very powerful and humbling. The strength and faith that Mr. Boumendiene possesses to endure his detainment and survive is a testament to his charater and innocense. Perhaps one day the US Republican administration will be held accountable to the world for their actions.
