The prisoner trapped in Guantanamo forever ...

HE’S been tortured using every method in the CIA handbook: beaten, waterboarded, deprived of sleep, slammed against concrete walls, tormented with loud noise and confined in coffin-like boxes.

But Abu Zubaydahfaces the worst punishment of all — a lifetime of silence and isolation.

The terror suspect is languishing in Guantánamo Bay, and not even a preliminary ruling has been made on his case in nearly seven years. It looks like someone never wants him to get out.

Zubaydahwas shot and captured in Pakistan in 2002, suffering wounds so severe that a top surgeon was flown in from Baltimore to keep him alive for questioning.

He was handcuffed, hooded, drugged and flown to a new CIA black site in Thailand for questioning. There, he became one of the first al-Qaeda suspects to enter the agency’s post-9/11 “enhanced interrogation” program. Full story...
