Outside Reading #4

So in the previous post I was confused about why the United States didn't realize their mistake. But now I know that even if they did realize their mistake they couldn't do anything about it. If the U.S. was to release Begg recently after his capture it would look really bad on the United States and Bush. Even though his capture tales place during the height of the war on terrorism, it wouldn't look to good if they released someone who is wrongly accused. I can see where the U.S. government is coming from but it all seems pointless because he is imprisoned there for two years and then rights a whole book about it and makes the U.S. government look even worse. if we released him back in 02 or 03, probably wouldn't have written a book about it. But then again I don't know this and I am assuming this which is what the U.S. did and that didn't really work out for them. Anyways in the book Begg is in Guantanamo and he is still be interrogated and he is still telling the truth, that he doesn't know anything. Also he now knows nothing about his family and we are left to assume that they know nothing that has happened to him.
