Guantanamo Bay Traitor?

I'm not a big reader, I have a bit of a short attention span and rarely get past chapter 1, but when I spotted a link to 'Traitor?' I thought this is a book I will want to read.  This is in part an expose of the "armpit of the world" called Guantanamo Bay and also the life changing journey of a US soldier who went in as a proud American and came out a Muslim.

As I write this now there are still 166 detainees who have been held prisoner at GTMO for the past 11 years and still to this day have no charges against them.  The current hunger strikes by the detainees and protests to close GTMO around the world are given very little coverage by the mainstream media.

This book is written by a normal guy, a low-ranking soldier in the US army who's engaging personal story not only exposes the disgraceful goings on at Guantanamo Bay but also reaffirms that the war against Islamic nations is unjust.  The writer asks and answers "were those in front of or behind the bars guilty of crimes of hatred?  Is being a good American compatible with being a Muslim?"

Reading this book will likely enlighten you but the writer, Terry Holdbrooks does not preach and tell you what to think, he writes in a way that gets you involved in his journey and narrates how his own conflicting thoughts and feelings develop in his own mind.  This is not an advert just a recommendation.
