Guantanamo bay is for bad people
"normal innocent guys" don''t end up in Guantanamo
some inmates were released recently
about 200 still remain in Guantanamo bay
Obama is closing Guantanamo bay & releasing some of the inmates
others have court cases
i don't kno how far u kno abt US Conditions on their "PA".but I know since i was from there. Because of my skin color is brown and my accent was 'bit' different, i was arrested more than twice after the 9/11 incident. Just only because of that two reasons. The hard part is not only that. I can't even have the Right to get a lawyer if im(or anyone else) arrested under PA. Did u know abt that?I used Guantanamo bay only as a way of speech.But If u search enough, U'll find a Iranian (i forgot his name, due to western medai jus made these kinda stories disappear) engineer (us citizen) Who was arrested for more than 4 months under Law of "PA". Waht ever obama wants to do, I don't know. But the way Americans thinks as RAMBO, won't change any sooner.
Bollywood star says he will cut back on US visits (AP)
Star reacts to airport detention
NEW DELHI - Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan said Tuesday he will cut back on visits to the United States, especially with his family, after he was questioned by immigration officials at a New York-area airport.
Khan was taken aside at Newark's Liberty International Airport on Friday for what officials said was routine questioning. They denied he was formally detained, saying the incident lasted barely more than an hour and was prolonged only because his bag had been lost by the airline.
But the questioning set off outrage in India, where politicians, sports celebrities and film stars regularly receive VIP treatment at airports. Angry fans burned a U.S. flag and protested what they saw as ill-treatment of a beloved star, and politicians called for an investigation.
The Muslim actor was promoting his latest film, "My Name is Khan," about racial profiling after the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks.
Khan told reporters Tuesday after returning to Mumbai that the incident had been "blown out of proportion." But he said the questioning — which included requests for the names of people who could vouch for him — embarrassed him.
He said he will travel to the U.S. less frequently.
"Of course I will visit the U.S. if I have to go for my work. But I will go less often. If I have three things to do, I will club them together and go just once," he said. "And certainly, I wouldn't like to travel with my family to the U.S."
Khan, 44, appealed to fans to stop protesting.
"Let's put this behind us, think positively and move ahead," he told fans during a news conference.
Khan has acted in around 70 movies in a career spanning two decades. He has consistently topped popularity rankings in India for the past several years.
