Thanks, Kabuli, for your choice excerpts from "Outside the Law: Stories from Guantanamo," your pertinent analysis of the Obama administration's imminent abdication of its responsibility for prisoners in Afghanistan, and your mention of Camp Phoenix -- obviously another lawless facility that needs examining.

Hi Carlyle,
There’s no way of knowing from the available information whether Aafia Siddiqui was indeed Prisoner 650. One day, I hope, the ACLU will be able to secure the lists of everyone ever held at Bagram, as happened with Guantanamo in 2006.

For Carol.
One way to solve that problem, is to ask someone who does have a card to do it for you and you refund that person whatever way is convenient.
It works !

Is there a way of donating other than by credit card or paypal, since I don’t have access to either?

Andy Worthington, a truly great man. (See definition below.)

Interviewer: Some critics have commented on the prison motif in your work.

Malamud: Perhaps I use it as a metaphor for the dilemma of all men: necessity, whose bars we look through and try not to see. Social injustice, apathy, ignorance. The personal prison of entrapment in past experience, guilt, obsession—the somewhat blind or blinded self, in other words. A man has to construct, invent, his freedom. Imagination helps. A truly great man or woman extends it for others in the process of creating his or her own.
