Guantanamo Bay prisoner 'contracts AIDS'

A Libyan meteorologist currently designated an "enemy combatant" and imprisoned by the US government at Guantanamo Bay has mysteriously contracted AIDS inside the compound. According to his lawyer Candace Gorman, Al-Ghizzawi had already previously contracted Tuberculosis inside the facility, and may have been initially infected with HIV from a botched blood test. Gorman says she found out about the diagnosis from a letter her client sent her, but that military officials would neither confirm nor deny the diagnosis. In her blog, Gorman states: 'The military claimed it did a complete physical when Al-Ghizzawi arrived and the ONLY condition he suffered from at that time was Hepatitis B. So I guess there is good reason why they don't want to confirm the diagnosis.'

  • Woah, what? How? A blood test should surely just be a case of extracting blood with a needle - how and why would they have an infected needle, if that was the cause? If it's true, this is a going to be a big deal for critics of the place.

  • This place is an embarrassment to the civil nature of ordinary people living in America. It's a psychological torture house where inmates are held without charge, in what MUST be horrendous conditions since one of them has now contracted AIDS?

    What can be done to immediately shut this place down?

  • Ironically, Libya has the lowest AIDS sufferer count in world!

  • At least they have access to round the clock healthcare, and some of the best doctors money can buy. Which is more than I can say about half the population in the US that is living without healthcare at all.

  • Is the Army handing out small pox infected blankets again as well?

  • Total control can have complete, oblivious activities to control what happens. Complete empowerment in a communist country. I question, what danger can a meteorologist have to the future of the free world. Wow, it's a possibility that she could have been infected by the people in power. Another possibility is that hate toward the U.S. is big and we have to discredit people. no one will find the truth.

    We only know that in Guantanamo Bay , you have total power to do what you please. Talk about the free world.

  • I'd question the 'some best doctors money can buy' point now I've heard this revelation.

    HIV-infected needles - it's a schoolboy error.

  • Who the hell said it was an HIV infected needle. YOU DID. We have no hard facts only speculations. You're bouncing opinions around and jumping to conclusions. For all you know there is a reasonable explanation. The only people who need to be concerned about this are the staff at Guantanamo, and the meteorologist in question. She's clearly done at least something wrong to have wound up there in the first place, it's not like she could have just gotten off at the wrong stop on her tropical cruise.
