Guantanamo cell is better than freedom, says inmate fighting against release
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.
Ahmed Belbacha fears that he will be tortured or killed if the United States goes ahead with plans to return him to his native Algeria.
The Times has learnt that Mr Belbacha, who lived in Britain for three years, has filed an emergency motion at the US Court of Appeals in Washington DC asking for his transfer out of Guantanamo to be halted. He was cleared for release from Camp Delta in February and his lawyers believe that his return to Algerian custody is imminent.'Notorious internment camp'? Now, there's an objective phrase. And further proving they're not biased is the inclusion of statistics from Amnesty International.

Oh, and be sure to have some onions handy so that you can generate the proper amount of tears for poor Ahmed.
