Guantanamo Bay, Cuba (AHN)-- Six years after hundreds of suspected terrorists were detained at Guantanamo Bay trials are to begin.
However, The New York Times reports that Yemeni Salim Ahmed Hamden, who could be one of the first tried, is seemingly unfit to stand trial due to insanity.
Hamden is accused of being a driver of Obama Bin Laden and of transporting weapons for Al Qaeda, as well as helping Bin Laden elude capture after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Obama Bin Laden-—ooops
Yep. It’s still there. HAHAHAHAHA!
When they captured this guy....they said he was a nut. Nothing has changed in all the time they’ve held the guy. Amusingly enough...the Rummy Patrol at Gitmo have no policy or idea of what to do with “nuts”. This guy wasn’t the only guy that folks suggested mental issues on. Between the nut and the 15-year old kid...these cases are falling apart. Not a single guy (my humble opinion) will be convicted by the end of the Bush Administration...and you can expect a six-month shut down at Gitmo when the next administration steps in and tries to figure how to clean up the Gitmo situation.
The one thing we better all expect...McCain actually spent a major portion of his life in a prisoner of war camp...and he is going to have a totally different view on Gitmo.
So what?
.... I thought being insane was required to become a member of AQ.
By that rule, we can't have trials for any of them. I guess we just shoot them and get it over with.
Would you say that their mental condition has anything to do with their ability to resume their combatant activities?
Another former Gitmo detainee is re-arrested...
Israrul Haq was re-arrested in Pakistan this week.
The Daily Times reported:
Israrul Haq, who was freed from incarceration in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in 2005 before being rearrested on Thursday, has been transferred to an undisclosed location by unidentified agencies. According to sources, Haq and several relatives were travelling to Mardan by bus when he was arrest

Put yourself in the position of these officers who have to sit on these court boards that have been arranged....who can sit there and pass judgment on some nut? None of these officers are going to sign up to perform this kind of court action.
So what then? The Rummy board never considered this type scenario...and keeping the guy locked up for eternity in Gitmo isn’t going to be an option.
...Put yourself in the position of these officers who have to sit on these court boards that have been arranged..
As a former officer, let me state that they are wearing the uniform of their country, they will serve on a competent military tribunals as they are instructed to do.
....and keeping the guy locked up for eternity in Gitmo isn’t going to be an option.
Perhaps. Many of them should have been executed on the battlefield because they were not covered by the Geneva Convention, and that still may be an option.
Now how about answering my point mental status has nothing to do with the dangerousness of some of these detainees?
