- Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won a surprise election victory,
putting him on course for a fourth term in office. Netanyahu's Likud Party is
poised to control 29 or 30 seats in the 120-member Knesset. The Zionist Union
opposition placed second with 24 seats. A united list of Arab parties came in
third with 13 seats. Netanyahu closed out his campaign with a vow to oppose a
Palestinian state, reneging on his nominal endorsement of a two-state solution
in 2009. Netanyahu also vowed to expand the illegal West Bank settlements and
issued a last-minute plea to supporters denouncing a high turnout of Arab
voters. The Zionist Union, Netanyahu's chief rival, also ran on a platform for
Israel to keep the major Israeli settlement blocs in the occupied West Bank, the
home of any future Palestinian state. Likud says Netanyahu intends to form a new
government in the coming weeks.

"I
cannot believe that the majority of Americans want to finance the detention of
innocent people," says Hina Shamsi, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties
Union. She speaks on behalf of her client, Mohamedou Slahi, a current detainee
at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay and the New York Times
best-selling author of the recently released, Guantanamo
Diary.
Guantanamo Diary is the first account written and published by a
still-imprisoned Guantanamo inmate. Slahi finished writing the book in 2005, but
it took six years and a team of lawyers to obtain approval for publication. To
secure the U.S. government's permission to publish the book, more than 2,500
redactions were added to the manuscript, which remain blacked out throughout the
book's text.

- We look at the extraordinary story from Guantánamo of a father and son who
were held for many years and what became of them after their release. Abdul
Nasser Khantumani and his son Muhammed were imprisoned in Guantánamo in 2002.
Muhammed was still a teenager when he was taken into U.S. custody in 2001. He
was released in 2009 and resettled in Portugal. His father was resettled in Cape
Verde almost exactly a year later. They have not been able to meet each other
since. A new article in Harper's Magazine details their ordeal, including how
their relationship was used against them in Guantánamo: "Interrogators learned
early on that proximity to Abdul Nasser was a 'comfort item' they could
manipulate to try to make Muhammed talk. After Muhammed became uncooperative,
they relocated him as a form of punishment. It would be years before they would
hear each other's voices again."
