Guantanamo/Edinburgh

This isn't music related, but I'd like to share something with you.  I went to hear Moazzam Begg give a talk tonight.  He's one of the detainees who was illegally imprisoned in Guantanamo Bay for several years.  He was never charged with anything and needless to say the US government has not offered reparations for the stolen years.  Despite this, he is a very forgiving and magnanmous man with a message of hope and reconciliation.  He bears no grudge against his captors.  It's amazing how strong his spirit is.  His book has just been published: Enemy Combatant...I recommend it - we need more people like him in the world!!!
