Karin found the website freedetainees.org extremely informative and corresponded with the owner Linda Richard about several cases.
I asked Karin to check on Daniel Maldonado, whose story has been bothering me since I wrote Public letter to the Boston Globe.
Linda wrote back:
EEEEEEEEE what a can of worms! Ok I called Terre Haute and talked to a very very nice man there - but he couldn't give me specifics - so I still don't know if this is the same man.. though it sure seems to be. One thing is I see he's due to be released next year - and I don't know how many years our Daniel got. I will try and find that. I'm also going to email a contact from cageprisoners and see if she knows. In the meantime I'm still searching. I have to say though.. this is the craziest one yet.. twists, turns, and at a couple of places it's just unreal..Linda has since put up two articles on freedetainees.org.
For instance.. this is alleged to have been his blog: http://danielaljughaifi.wordpress.com/
I got that from this site - which sites a very anti-Islam site but the information is all there.. and interesting as heck. It does appear that he vanished in 2006 or 7 and then... I'm still searching for the rest. I'll send this site: http://lonestartimes.com/2007/02/13/houston-blogger-arrested-for-terrorism/
Young Tourists Pick Somalia, and a 3-Nation Ordeal Begins ...
STOCKHOLM1st published 2007
WITH a blend of naïveté and a love of travel, Saifa Benaouda flew into Somalia last December from Dubai, where she and her boyfriend had gone for an extended vacation. Barely 17, Ms. Benaouda, a feisty and independent high-school student, did not mention the Somalia trip to her mother, the leader of a moderate Muslim organization here and herself a bit of a rebel when she was younger.
“We were only going to be there two weeks, and I thought I’d tell her after about my adventure,” Ms. Benaouda said in an interview. Their timing, in a world obsessed with terrorism, could not have been worse or, in the eyes of the authorities, more suspicious.
They arrived in Mogadishu, the Somali capital, just as Muslims from various countries, some trained by Al Qaeda, were streaming into Somalia in response to a call from Islamist forces that controlled much of the country last year. The Islamists were briefly battling with Ethiopian troops who had intervened to take back Somalia for a weak Western-backed interim government.
Ms. Benaouda (pronounced ben-OW-da), a Muslim, disavows any political or religious motive for her venture into Somalia, and says her boyfriend is also not political. She contends that they learned of the fighting only after they got to Mogadishu and found a country she did not like and more adventure than she wanted.
With fighting raging nearby, they rapidly found themselves fleeing south toward Kenya, along with hundreds of other people. On the way, she said, an American woman — the wife of Daniel Maldonado, who pleaded guilty in Houston federal court Thursday to receiving training from a foreign terrorist organization — died in her lap. Ms. Benaouda took over care of the woman’s three small children, ages 7 months to 9 years old, surviving by eating rice and drinking muddy floodwater and hiding in the bush when military helicopters buzzed overhead.

I spoke with one criminal defense lawyer that works on these Muslim detainee cases. He estimates that at least 2000 American Muslims have been similarly railroaded in federal prison over the last eight years.
I believe him to have underestimated.
When Obama took office, his administration quickly moved to review and drop charges against former Alaskan Senator Ted Stevens. Then in a massive act of pandering to the Israel Lobby, the Obama administration dropped charges against Rosen and Weissman just before the start of the 2009 AIPAC Washington conference.
According to Bloomberg, "President Barack Obama says he hopes his June 4 speech to the Muslim world will repair broken trust." Can the Muslim world possibly trust Obama's words however honeyed
- as long as so many good and decent Arab and Muslim victims of Jew Zionist subversion and conspiracy remain languishing in federal prisons,
- as long as the USA remains allied with the genocidal and terrorist Zionist state, and
- as long as the US government remains thoroughly penetrated by Jewish Zionist subversives?*
Note
* While Jewish subversion of the US government is nothing new, Jewish communist agents and subversives during the 20s, 30s, and 40s never came close to current Jewish Zionist achievement in manipulating and dominating the US government in foreign policy, in economics and in the legal system.
