Sunday, August 27, 2006 After being held for more than four years at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility, German born Turkish citizen Murat Kurnaz was transferred to German custody by U.S. authorities on Thursday. An hour later, he was released. Kurnaz was picked up in Pakistan in 2001 when riding a bus. He was first transferred to a prison camp in Afghanistan and then transferred to Guantanamo bay. He was designated an “enemy combatant” even after German law enforcement and US intelligence officials concluded that there was no information tying him to al-Qaeda or other terrorist activities.

Even on the flight back to Germany Kurnaz was shackled on hand and feet, tied to the ground and blindfolded. Pentagon spokesman Chito Peppler said that the conditions for…

The Cleveland Clinic will choose between seven women and five men to find the person most suited for the experimental procedure, which is a radical and controversial solution to extreme facial scarring or disfigurement. Having practiced the procedure on bodies donated for medical research, the Cleveland Clinic team believe they have a 50% chance of success.
