Family Seeks Release of a Guantánamo Detainee Turned Author

In The New York Times, Helene Cooper reports on the case of Guantánamo Bay prisoner Mohamedou Ould Slahi, whose newly released book Guantánamo Diary describes his torture at the hands of U.S. interrogators. Since his arrest and detainment in 2001, Slahi has never been charged with a crime.
