US says it repatriated a Guantanamo Bay detainee to Algeria

[ENGLISH.ALARABIYA.NET] The United States has repatriated to Algeria a man who was held at Guantanamo Bay for nearly two decades after being accused of conspiring with al-Qaeda, the Department of Defense said on Saturday.

The department identified the man as Sufiyan Barhoumi,

...more formally Sufyian Ibn Muhammad Barhoumi, the one-handed, accused Al Qaeda bomb maker captured in Faisalabad with a group of other accused Al Qaeda henchmen in the company of accused Al Qaeda “travel agent” Zayn Abdeen al Husseini, a.k.a. Abu Zubaydah. Mr. Barhoumi set himself to learn fluent English and perfect his soccer striking skills while charming his guards with his mediation skills...

a native of Algeria, and said his detention at the US military base was "no longer necessary."

Barhoumi arrived at Guantanamo Bay in 2002, the year the base’s detention camp was set up following a US-led invasion of Afghanistan in pursuit of the al-Qaeda network behind attacks that killed nearly 3,000 people in New York, the Pentagon and rural Pennsylvania on September 11, 2001.

Interesting related Fact that Skidmark pointed out for us...

This claimed terrorist was held for 20 Years without a court trial for any crime.

Note: Stop and think about Jan. 6th handling tactics so far.

Under USA CONSTITUTIONAL LAW and I believe maybe even under UCMJ rules. Holding a person 20 years w/o trial is in direct violation of the Bill Of Rights 6th Amendment.
The Sixth Amendment in part guarantees the right of criminal defendants to a speedy public trial without unnecessary delay.

Note: Once again think of the 50+ Jan. 6th Prisoners being held for over 1 year now with no trial.

HUMAN RIGHT DETAILS ON THE GITMO ISSUE?

According to a Human Rights Group...(for what that's worth)
"Sufiyan Barhoumi: Charged in 2005 with conspiracy and material support, but the charges were dropped in 2006. He was charged again in 2008 with the same crimes, but these charges were dropped in 2009. Barhoumi was cleared for transfer out of the prison by the Guantanamo Periodic Review Board in 2016."

SOME MORE QUESTIONS:
Isn't holding a person w/o trial in a remote secret location for 20 years, what we call a Political Prisoner when it is done by another nation?

What is to keep the DC Deep State / PELOSI from doing this to the Jan. 6th protesters, if the LSD's "by hook or crook" survive the Mide-Terms and still have control?

What is to keep a slick HR Lawsuit Lawyer right now from filing a $Billion lawsuit over this?
