“From a normal U.S. teenager to being a high-value detainee at GTMO.”
That’s how Majid Khan, the only known American legal resident to be detained at Guantanamo Bay, described what he called his “unthinkable journey” during his sentencing for war crimes last year. It’s a journey that included more than three years of captivity in CIA black sites, as well as torture. It’s also included a decade of cooperation with U.S. officials since his February 2012 guilty plea.
