The U.S. soldier “has the body of a mule and dreams of a bird” and despite his “awesome body” he’s “no Rambo.“ He also ”gave us cornflakes and yogurt for breakfast when we wanted falafel and broad beans.”
Those are the words of enlightenment from former Guantanamo Bay detainee Adel al-Gazzar as he disparaged U.S. troops in an interview on Egypt’s Al-Rahma TV.
MEMRI is back again with yet another outrageous clip from the West’s sworn enemies. According to its report, al-Gazzar was resettled in Slovakia by the Obama administration yet voluntarily returned to his native Egypt in June 2011 where he was immediately arrested.
According to MEMRI:
In 2002, during his incarceration at Guantanamo, he had been convicted in absentia of plotting to overthrow the Egyptian government and sentenced to three years in prison, in what his advocates have called a sham trial. He had not been repatriated to Egypt by the U.S., although he was cleared for transfer by both the Bush administration and an inter-agency task force set up by the Obama administration, because U.S. officials and his lawyers feared he would be persecuted or tortured upon his return.
