They couldn't have known that they would be swept up in America's indiscriminate war-on-terror dragnet. They were deposited in the legal and moral netherworld we know as Guantanamo Bay, where they were held without charge for two long years. </p><p><a href="http://closegitmo.com/">Support our campaign to close Gitmo</a>, ban torture, and end unconstitutional military commissions.  To find out more about the film and the Tipton Three, visit <a href="http://www.roadtoguantanamomovie.com/.">www.roadtoguantanamomovie.com.</a> </p><p>And for more political movie reviews, visit <a href="http://is.gd/8J9N">is.gd</a>.  </p></p> </div> <a href="/blog/63720-brave-new-review-the-road-to-guantanamo">Watch the video</a> Five Gitmo Detainees Released in Landmark Ruling http://bravenewfilms.org/blog/63542-five-gitmo-detainees-released-in-landmark-ruling 2008-11-21T16:28:06Z ZP Heller <object width="375" height="308"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/xuzjeDfNVJE&border=0&rel=0"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/xuzjeDfNVJE&border=0&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="375" height="308"></embed></object> <a href="/blog/63542-five-gitmo-detainees-released-in-landmark-ruling"><img src="http://bravenewfilms.org/pictures/medium/79738" width="140" height="105" border="0" align="left" style="border: solid 1px black;" /></a> <div class="post_content"> <p><p>Remember back to President Bush's 2002 <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/11/21/us/21guantanamo.html?hp">State of the Union address</a>, when he touted the arrest of six Algerians suspected of plotting to bomb the US Embassy in Bosnia?  Well, once those Algerians were brought to Guantanamo Bay, the Bush administration backed away from its initial claims, leaving those detainees to rot without charges for the last seven years -- a perfect example of what Glenn Greenwald calls the “<a href="http://www.salon.com/opinion/greenwald/2008/11/20/guantanamo/index.html">grotesque injustices we have wrought</a> with Guantanamo and our denial of basic due process to detainees.”  </p><p>Yesterday, Judge Richard Leon (a Bush appointee) ruled that five of those Algerians must be released "forthwith" because the government failed to provide sufficient evidence to detain them.

Mahvish Khan is an American lawyer, born to immigrant Afghan parents in Michigan. Determined to bring the due process of law to the people imprisoned at Guantanamo, she volunteered to translate for the prisoners. She spoke their language, understood their customs, and brought them Starbucks chai, the closest available drink to the kind of tea they would drink at home. And they quickly befriended her, offering fatherly advice as well as a uniquely personal insight into their plight, and that of their families thousands of miles away.</p> <p>For Mahvish Khan the experience was a validation of her Afghan heritage—as well as her American freedoms, which allowed her to intervene at Guantanamo purely out of her sense that it was the right thing to do.
