The Obama administration has appealed an order for the release of a Gitmo detainee charged with helping recruit some of the Sept. 11 terrorists. A lower court judge said that Mohamedou Ould Salahi should be set free because he was abused and later retracted his admission of helping to make travel arrangements for two of the hijackers.

Salahi admits that he fought with al Qaeda in the early 1990s to oppose the Soviets in Afghanistan. But he claims to have stopped fighting for them before they turned against the US. |
