CAPITOL HILL (AP) -- A man who was held for years at the Guantanamo Bay prison will testify on Capitol Hill today.

Murat Kurnaz, who was born in Germany, was declared an enemy combatant and held at Guantanamo Bay for almost four years even though U.S. investigators couldn't tie him to al-Qaida.

1. I am surprised they let him back in the US

3. Who are you going to believe this "accused terrorist" or Bush*?

I would venture a guess that a large majority of Americans would not hesitate to say they would believe the "accused terrorist" over Bush*..The Bush* Cabal has zero credibility with the majority of Americans..

George W. bUsh approves of TORTURE.
