Also in the New York Review of Books, but this one’s freely available: Joseph Lelyveld’s review of Captain James Yee’s For God and Country: Faith and Patriotism Under Fire. Yee was the Muslim chaplain assigned to the naval prison at Guantanamo Bay. Last year, he was accused of being a spy for Al Qaeda, and then later cleared of all charges. The review offers a revolting account of what life is like in America’s shameful prison.
