Mohamedou Ould Slahi, Ed. by Larry Siems
Positive
HuffPost
As cited in
Guantanamo Diary
and thoroughly documented in the Senate Committee Report, Donald Rumsfeld personally authorized a \'special interrogation plan\' to extract information from Slahi ... The documentation of...abusive practices is conveyed in a nuanced manner in
Guantanamo Diary
. Slahi is not the detached voice or passive victim cited in a government report or a media exposé on enhanced interrogation techniques, but rather the active storyteller, embodying a voice of the voiceless still languishing in Guantanamo and black sites around the world ... one of the most remarkable elements of the story is his resilience, as well as his capability to rationalize and empathize, even with those who categorized him as the enemy.
