Although Mohamedou Ould Salahi wasn’t formally Charged, back in those days, with
Bush Jr. President…911 fresh in our memories,
Slahi had been trained in Al Qaeda training camp.
Slahi had initially been suspected of connections to a planned bombing of LAX airport in 2000, part of the so-called Millennium Plot, but as he repeatedly told interrogators, he had severed all ties with extremist group Al Qaeda in 1992.
Obama President…2010, a federal judge ruled that the US could not continue to detain Slahi, concluding that there was no credible evidence that he was part of Al Qaeda. And yet Slahi remained in prison for a further six and a half years.
Slahi should have been released at that time.
~And yet Slahi remained in prison for a further six and a half years, after the government opposed his release and filed an appeal in the DC Circuit. He was eventually freed in October 2016, after it was determined that he posed no significant threat to the US.
Perhaps some of the proceeds of this film should be sent to Slahi for President Obama administration not releasing him in 2010….
A good companion short video about 20 minutes long and well worth a watch,

As much as some pepole would like to have guilt by association the reality is that that is intrinsically wrong. So you have the constitution, it affords you rights and freedoms, you cant just arbitrarily dispense that otherwise you stand for nothing.
