Bin Laden driver could be held by U.S. after sentence


Bin Laden driver could be held by U.S. after sentence

GUANTANAMO BAY NAVAL BASE, Cuba (CNN) -- A jury of six military officers Thursday sentenced Osama bin Laden's former driver to five-and-a-half years in prison after his conviction on charges of providing material support to al Qaeda.

After Salim Haman serves his sentence, he could still be kept as an enemy combatant at Guantanamo Bay.

He has been imprisoned at the U.S. military detention center since 2002 and has been credited with 61 months served. That means that he has five months left to serve.


There is something wrong with a system of justice which firstly keeps you in prison without charge and trial for 6 years, then puts you on trial at a military court and you receive a sentence, when the sentence is expired instead of releasing you they keep you in prison indefinitely.

Hello America, he was just a fucking driver! Why don't you now go out and find out who supplied the driver with petrol?

They are going to release him because he's not a terrorist. He's likely to sue for kidnapping and false imprisonment. So the kangaroo court finds him guilty, sentences him to the amount of time he's done, plus a little to cover the release procedure and red tape. Then he's free and with a conviction for terrorism. Can't sue for false imprisonment. Brilliant! Expect more of the same.
