"Incommunicado" Forever: Gitmo Detainee's Case Stalled for 2,477 Days and Counting
Since being seized in a raid in Pakistan in 2002, Abu Zubaydah has had his life controlled by American officials, first at secret sites, where he was tortured, and since 2006 in a small cell in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. And, thanks to one of the strangest, and perhaps most troubling, legal cases to grow out of the War on Terror, it appears he's not going to be leaving anytime soon-which was exactly the plan the CIA always wanted. Not even his lawyers understand what's transpired behind closed doors in a Washington, D.C., courtroom.
