In the May 8 episode of "Boston Legal," called "Guantanamo by the Bay," a
sympathetic--and fictional--story about an erstwhile detainee named Benyam
Kallah (played by T.J. Ramini) suing the government for alleged abuses.
In this scene, Kallah's lawyer, Alan Shore (James Spader), examines him on the
stand:
Benyam Kallah: I was forced to lie in a fetal position. My eyes and my mouth
duct taped. The worse part, was that we felt it was forever. We were never
gonna be released. We were gonna get a trial. One man, Ali Mar . . . a friend,
he was arrested with me. . . .
Benyam pauses.
Alan Shore: What happened to your friend, sir?
Kallah: Finally he couldn't take it. He hung [sic] himself.
Shore: He committed suicide?
Kallah: The Pentagon called it "manipulative, self-injurious behavior" an act
of "asymmetric warfare" engaged against the United States.
Shore: Was your friend a terrorist?
Kallah: Struggling. No, he was a doctor.
In light of recent events, that last line could just as easily have read,
"Yes, he was a doctor."
