Do you remember what you were doing in the early months of 2002? Abu Wa'el Dhiab and his family had just fled the instability in Kabul for what he thought was the safety of Pakistan:
"Abu Wa’el was born in Lebanon, but moved to Syria with his family at an early age. He married, started a family, and ran a successful business in Afghanistan. But the tragic events of September 11 meant Kabul was no longer safe, and he and his family were forced to flee across the border into Pakistan.
"A few months later, however, Abu Wa’el was abducted by Pakistani police.
"He was not charged with any crime, but was handed over to the US, probably for a large bounty.
"First rendered to the US-run prison at Bagram Airbase in Afghanistan, he was then taken to Guantánamo Bay.
"He remained there, without charge or trial, until December 2014."
Any thoughts on the "worst of the worse"?
