Slahi, who studied electrical engineering in Duisburg, Germany, is shown is this archive photo. It has been alleged but never proven that he provided support to the Hamburg terror cell responsible for the 9/11 attacks.

Mauritanian national Mohamedou Ould Slahi has been held at Guantanamo for 12 years now without trial and despite a dearth of evidence. A diary he kept of his torture is now being published around the world. SPIEGEL presents some excerpts.

Country roads and dirt tracks lead to Mohamedou Ould Slahi's former home in a small village near the capital city of Nouakchott. Children play football in front of the house, using two empty cola bottles as makeshift goals. Goats rummage through the trash foraging for anything edible. There are no street names in these parts; the houses are simply numbered.

A 158 in Boudiane, Mauritania was Slahi's address until 14 years ago. Soon after that, he was assigned another number, when he became prisoner number 760 at Guantanamo, Cuba. Slahi has been held at the American prison for the past 12 years.

He was accused of having been acquainted with the perpetrators of the Sept. 11, 2001 terrorist attacks and of having provided them with support and sending them to Afghanistan to receive training. He has also been accused of involvement in the Millennium Plot, the foiled terrorist attack targeting the Los Angeles International Airport. At least that's the claim made by Ahmed Ressam, the man arrested in late 1999 at the US-Canadian border with 60 kilograms of explosives in the trunk of his car.

To me it sounds like torture - torture who is used to break down inmates - and this fellow have been there for 12 years - we can just imagine how the guards have treated him for the last 12 years....

And it also show how terrible the torture indeed was in the year of mr President Bush regime - and how many who have bloody hands in this - from the doctors who desied whitch torture was best - to the ones who did it - and to the political leaders who made it all posible....

Many should end up in a prison cell - for a long time... After all - this was metodes the US was crying aloud about when USSR did some of the same things back in the days - you know when US had some moral standing in the world... The Bush administration have doing terrible damage to the US the 8 years he was in office - and as long as the US are not willing to confront the evilness of the former Bush administration - the damage the administration did is horrible.... The faster they are in the dock - with all the evidences therefore - the better it is for the US, and for the rest of the world - to se if US really stand by it prinsiples - and not just telling lies about it all
