They were spent in Guantanamo Bay. His family claims he was only 12 when the Afghanistan native was detained in 2002. The Pentagon claims a bone scan suggests he was 17, and a U.S. military lawyer says he was between 12 and 15.

Either way, he spent seven years locked up—being tortured, his family says—and now we find out that he probably shouldn't have even been there. He was accused of throwing a grenade at a U.S. vehicle and injuring two soldiers, but U.S. District Court Judge Ellen Huvelle, who ordered his release, described the government's case against him as "an outrage" that was "riddled with holes".

Twelve years old and locked up for what appears to be no go reason. It boggles the mind that there are still quite a few people who will defend the system that allowed this.
