Club Gitmo News and Notes.

Just when we read that Sami al Hajj, (shown on a stretcher at Khartoum Airport - screen right) the 'al Jazeera' cameraman suffering "health problems after his prolonged hunger strike" is being released from Gitmo, we also learn that a recent Gitmo graduate has been killed in a suicide bombing - and he was the one wearing the bomb vest. What a surprise. /sarc

Abdullah had been missing for two weeks and his family learned he left Kuwait illegally for Syria, he said. Abdullah had sent messages to his wife from Iraq. Abdullah, 30, had a son after he was released from the U.S. naval base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, where the United States holds suspected terrorists, Salem said.There were no indications Abdullah had any plans to join insurgents in Iraq although he became less sociable (hah!) in the period before he disappeared, he said.

Here's hoping Sami al Hajj gets better real quick so he can strap on a belt and follow in his buddy Abdullah's footsteps.
