VALUABLE. Attorney Michael Rapkin's essay about @WitnessToGTMO founder Peter Jan Honigsberg's recent book "A Place Outside the Law: Forgotten Voices from Guantánamo" — a book written to “remind future generations not to repeat what has happened there.” https://t.co/uO3INO7tMW

"After 9/11, America strayed from its values and the rule of law, including by engaging in torture and indefinite detention. Around the world, the greatest symbol of these failures is the prison at Guantanamo Bay." On "A Place Outside the Law": https://t.co/OWEeiufSyv

#Guantanamo prison guard Terry Holdbrooks wondered why the detainees were always happy: “They got faith. And seeing them have that cohesion, that brotherhood, that unity, that I didn’t even have with the military.” @WitnessToGTMO #ReadUP https://t.co/QoZI0UqPKM

Navy #whistleblower Matt Diaz is a hero. He covertly released the names of 500 #Guantanamo detainees by sending them in a greeting card to a lawyer in NY. This is his story. @WitnessToGTMO #APlaceOutsideTheLaw https://t.co/ZhID0UTqTe
