The German Muzzie Murat Kurnaz traveld this week to New York in order to present his book:

"Five years of my life: An innocent man in Guantanamo"

The preface of the book is written by the leftist Patti Smith. 300 people came to the event in the New York Public Library (South Court Auditorium).

I have visited the wiki-issue of Patti. Look what I have found:

Quote
Smith premiered two new protest songs in London in September 2006.[24] Louise Jury, writing in The Independent, characterized them as "an emotional indictment of American and Israeli foreign policy". Song "Qana" (available at official website) was about the Israeli airstrike on the Lebanese village of Qana. "Without Chains" (available at official website) is about Murat Kurnaz, a Turkish citizen who was born and raised in Germany, held at Guantanamo Bay detainment camp for four years. Jury's article quotes Smith as saying:

I wrote both these songs directly in response to events that I felt outraged about. These are injustices against children and the young men and women who are being incarcerated. I'm an American, I pay taxes in my name and they are giving millions and millions of dollars to a country such as Israel and cluster bombs and defense technology and those bombs were dropped on common citizens in Qana. It's terrible. It's a human rights violation.

She has not only written the preface of Kurnaz book, but written songs about him.

You can hear the song as mp3 here: http://pattismith.net/audio/Without_Chains.mp3

What a traiterous person.  >:(

P.S.:

This is Mr. Kurnaz:



I have read a lot of articles about Kurnaz. He is a real Muzzie and Terrorist.
