Mullah Zaeef: Done in by infidels at Club Fed?
2002-07-30
Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef, former ambassador of Afghanistan in Islamabad has been killed in a detention facility at Guantanamo, Cuba, family sources alleged. According to a report Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef was tortured excessively at the detention center. The torture was so excessive that he breathed his last at the camp, his relatives said. However, neither the Afghan government nor the US sources have confirmed his death. Mullah Abdul Salam Zaeef was arrested by the Pakistan’s security forces loyal to the United States ignoring his diplomatic status and his application for political asylum in Pakistan to escape the wrath of Americans in Afghanistan. He was the senior most official of the Taliban government who could be arrested by the US forces. Pakistani authorities later handed him over to their masters and they bundled him to Guantanamo prison facility in Cuba along with hundreds of other Afghan, Pakistan and Arab prisoners.
Guess they're dropping like flies in the inhuman conditions of Club Fed. How do they know he's dead? "He ain't writ home in ages, so he must be dead. An' if he's dead, it's cuz somebody done tortured him to death!" So there you have it.

#5  I stand corrected. I was typing, and suddenly, my knee jerked and I fat fingered "left" , when I clearly meant to type "his family". I will be more careful when slandering in the future.

#4  They've been letting a few write home. I doubt he's one of them. I'd also imagine he's alive (if he is in Gauntanamo).

#3  It's not the left. It's from Jihad Unspun - so it's the Bad Guys. As far as I know, they haven't been writing home from Guantanamo, so the 'rents don't have any way of knowing if he's dead or alive. I'd imagine he's alive.

#2  This is crap. There is no torture on our side of the fence in Guantanamo, Cuba( on the other side- its a proven fact). This is just a other attempt by the left to get a published list of names being held. Somehow they feel that we'd all be safer if only we knew who was being held. Of course, they never stop to think that one of the values of not telling anyone who is being held there is that they can be turned and used to ferret out their former breatheren.

#1  How do we know that he's not dead? Because the Chomskeyites aren't braying about it, that's why. If he were dead, there would have been a report AND an editorial about inhumane conditions at Gitmo in the New York Times.
