The last enemy combatant being held on American soil is Ali Saleh Kahlah al-Marri, an alleged sleeper cell agent for al Qaeda. He was arrested in Peoria, Illinois in 2001, and has never stood trial or been convicted of a crime.
However, in an act of good will, ostensibly inspired by our new President, they have allowed al-Marri to pose for a photo for his Facebook profile. This is the first photo of him allowed to be released since his arrest.
Please friend him. He must be lonely after being held in complete isolation for five years.
