As I sat in the cell, I tried to put myself in the skin and soul of the overwhelmingly large Muslim population of Guantanamo and the various other U.S. run prisons around the world. The cell is actually 2″ shorter than I am tall, so lying down was very uncomfortable. But I could stand up to pray. I could recite and memorize. Hopefully, I could read. But it would be very, very difficult to go without contact with family. And especially to suffer the confinement without ever having been charged! Much less fairly tried!
