Guantanamo prisoner fights to stay

AN inmate of Guantanamo Bay who spends 22 hours each day in an isolation cell is fighting for the right to stay in the notorious internment camp.
(the Australian)
Man.
The poor guy must be addicted to torture.

Ahmed Belbacha fears he will be tortured or killed if the US goes ahead with plans to return him to his native Algeria.

Mr Belbacha, who lived in Britain for three years, has filed an emergency motion at the US Court of Appeals in Washington asking for his transfer out of Guantanamo to be halted.

Oh, nevermind about the torture addiction theory.
The guy is afraid he'll be treated worse in his native country. As his representative put it, "[H]e is really, really scared about what might happen to him in Algeria."

This does suggest a way that the liberals' plans for the war on terror might work. Just make Guantanamo Bay so attractive to radical Muslims that they can't resist going there instead of committing acts of terrorism.

If we can just send enough virgins to that little section of Cuba ...
