A review by tehmegan
Guantánamo Diary by Mohamedou Ould Slahi

1.0

I've never in my entire life endure attempts at brainwashing quite like this. I finished this book on principle after being stationed at GTMO for a year.

The redactions were poorly done (many inconsistencies/redundancies were pointed out by the editor). I'm not saying that MOS wasn't tortured, but I strongly feel that this book is an attempt to play on the emotions of the reader. This book is completely subjective and anyone who reads this book as a voice of truth and doesn't take it with a grain of salt is falling prey to exactly what MOS, the editor, and extremists around the world want you to believe: That the US is the big bad guy.
