Is this seriously worth it? Guantanmo inmate never charged with a crime, dies after 11 years in US custody

He was picked up by bounty hunters claiming he was a terrorist who since have shown signs of being corrupt and picking up random guys to turn them in for a quick buck.

Raphiel, I don't see the bounty hunter story coming from any source other than AlJazeera. The NY Times, only a sliver to the right of AlJazeera, doesn't make that claim, but instead attributes his pickup to Pakistani police.

I agree that this is a shitty situation, but so is terroristic warfare. In prior wars the detainees would have been shot as spies for being out of uniform. In this war only the US wears a uniform, which puts the local population at risk of this type of harm. It's an impossible situation, and I don't blame the US for not being able to handle it to perfection.
