Thank you so much for this wonderful lesson. My students really appreciated the real facts about Guantanamo Bay. The interviews were especially moving. Many of my students are Muslim, and they felt a deep connection to those who have been detained in the prison.

Thank you for finding such an important issue and bringing it to the classroom!

I’m Adel Alzamel and I’m proud that I was in Guantanamo. I say to the US government you don’t have any human rights and all what you do is lie that you have human rights but you actually don’t have any.

Hi, Matt Diaz. Saw “Guantanamo – the trap”. You are a hero. Don´t worry, be happy. No one can touch you ´cause you did the right thing. Remember that – and no matter what happens in your life you can be calm inside and trust your self. You have my respect. Like Muhammad Ali refusing to kill the Viet Cong people. Was strong and determined. Jesper Lindebjerg

There is a special place in heaven for heroes, and you have earned your VIP card.

I am afraid as someone that really loved America, I have to agree totally with Col. Morris Davis’ remarks about Gitmo. I think his actions in resigning and in speaking out were both right and very brave.

Unfortunately, I have personal experience of these abuses. In 2009 I visited a friend to celebrate the 4th of July……but spent several weeks held in jail NOT EVEN ACCUSED OF ANYTHING……because of things that had happened in England. I went to the US on vacation to celebrate American freedoms and was held in Jail in Missouri not even accused of anything. I was not even allowed to come home when I should have.

Needless to say I now feel very hostile towards America because of this abuse I personally suffered at the hands of the US Govt.

Thank you sir for this work. As A Jew who remembers Nuremberg I have been deeply troubled by what we had done even before May 1, 2011 when we summarily executed Osama bin Laden.

May we eventually be cured of our terrible hubris–painful though it will no doubt be.
