Isa Khan (Guantanamo Detainee 23) - Time Magazine Article

Time Magazine Article

In October 2002 Issa Khan was the subject of a Time magazine article.

Khan's first letter from Guantanamo, received by his family almost a year after his capture, was one of the first letters from a Guantanamo captive to be publicized. It began

"Kind Father, Mother & Sisters. I'm in the United States. I've been arrested. I hope I'll be released soon, since I'm innocent."

His family described Khan as a homeopathic doctor, who had traveled to Mazari Sharif with his new wife to show off their new baby to her family there, when war struck, and he was rounded up Northern Alliance forces because he was a member of the Pashtun ethnic group.

Famous quotes containing the words time, magazine and/or article:

    He gets red roses in different places,
    the head, that time he was as sleepy as a river,
    the back, that time he was a broken scarecrow,
    the arm like a diamond had bitten it,
    the leg, twisted like a licorice stick....
    Anne Sexton (1928–1974)

    It is as absurd to say that [due to motherhood] all women shall be denied the suffrage, as it would be to deny all men the suffrage, because some are liable, periodically, to inflammatory rheumatism, delirium tremens, or financial failure.
    Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. The Revolution (February 17, 1870)

    Reviews and magazines are at best ephemeral & superficial reading. Who thinks of the grand article of last year in any given review?
    George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
