Hundreds Attend Funeral for Tragic Gitmo Exercise Victim…
The only good Islamofascist, is a dead Islamofascist…
KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Hundreds of mourners, some chanting anti-American slogans, turned out Monday for the funeral of an Afghan prisoner at Guantanamo Bay who collapsed and died while exercising at the U.S. detention center last week.
The mourners ran alongside a vehicle carrying the body of 48-year-old Awal Gul – the seventh detainee to die at the detention center in Cuba since it was opened in January 2002.
Gul’s body was wrapped in white cloth, but his face and long, black beard were visible inside the coffin, which was buried in Jalalabad, east of Kabul.
The U.S. military said he was an “an admitted Taliban recruiter” who met several times with Osama bin Laden.
Matthew Dodge, one of the attorneys who had been fighting for Gul’s release, has called the allegations “outlandish.”

ACLU Calls for Investigations After Unfortunate Gitmo Death of Taliban Commander…
Investigate the ACLU. Bring back HUAC…
(Fox News) — The American Civil Liberties Union is calling for an independent investigation into all prisoner deaths at Guantanamo Bay after a 48-year-old Afghan detainee collapsed and died.
The U.S. military said the prisoner, Awal Gul, died of “apparent natural causes” on Tuesday, collapsing in the shower after working out on an elliptical machine. Military spokesman Army Col. Scott Malcom said the death was still under investigation but that an autopsy completed Thursday appeared to indicate a heart attack or a pulmonary embolism as the cause.
The ACLU released a statement Friday saying that, especially since Gul was one of nearly 50 detainees being held without charge, a fuller inquiry is needed.
“Mr. Gul’s death makes clear that the longer we continue to hold men at Guantanamo without any accountability or adequate legal process, the more independent scrutiny of their well-being is required,” Hina Shamsi, director of the ACLU’s National Security Project, said in a statement.
“Given the lack of transparency at Guantanamo, each and every death there should be fully and independently investigated.”

Taliban Blames Death of Commander in Gitmo on “Bestiality of American Rulers”…
When it comes to bestiality, these guys know what they’re talking about.
WASHINGTON: Taliban extremists condemned an Afghan inmate’s death at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp as a ‘clear indicator’ of US human rights violations and ‘brutal behavior’, US-based monitors said Saturday.
Awal Gul, who was held at Guantanamo for nearly nine years over alleged links to the Taliban and al Qaeda collapsed and died Tuesday of ‘apparent natural causes’ after exercising on an elliptical machine, the US military said this week.
In a statement posted on its website in Pashto on Friday and in English on Saturday, the Afghan Taliban called Gul an ‘eminent commander’ and blamed his death on the ‘bestiality of the American rulers’, according to SITE Intelligence Group monitors.
