Another, 98. Last thing I knew, I weighed 132, but that was a month ago.</p> <p>I’ve been on a hunger strike since Feb. 10 and have lost well over 30 pounds. I will not eat until they restore my dignity.</p> <p>I’ve been detained at Guantánamo for 11 years and three months. I have never been charged with any crime. I have never received a trial.</p> <p>I could have been home years ago — no one seriously thinks I am a threat — but still I am here. Years ago the military said I was a “guard” for Osama bin Laden, but this was nonsense, like something out of the American movies I used to watch. They don’t even seem to believe it anymore. But they don’t seem to care how long I sit here, either.</p> <p>When I was at home in Yemen, in 2000, a childhood friend told me that in Afghanistan I could do better than the $50 a month I earned in a factory, and support my family. I’d never really traveled, and knew nothing about Afghanistan, but I gave it a try.</p> <p>I was wrong to trust him. There was no work. I wanted to leave, but had no money to fly home. After the American invasion in 2001, I fled to Pakistan like everyone else. The Pakistanis arrested me when I asked to see someone from the Yemeni Embassy. I was then sent to Kandahar, and put on the first plane to Gitmo.</p> </blockquote>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/48122168543http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/48122168543Tue, 16 Apr 2013 10:49:56 -0400<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/be624433e0e773a1f41254640f5207b4/tumblr_mkyqkfbMrr1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c405b4c2f45e884c3b5d36216e40af54/tumblr_mkyqkfbMrr1qhqrduo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Serious boy, Portland, Oregon</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/47500543124http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/47500543124Mon, 08 Apr 2013 20:56:36 -0400portlandoregonboyyouthbunny earsdrivewaysuburban<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m6b28157S41qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Shopping plaza, New York, 2008</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/46365439065http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/46365439065Tue, 26 Mar 2013 17:40:46 -0400new yorkcommercial landscape<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/7f28031dff3d3c489e169db2c47e8120/tumblr_mk57nr6hhV1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Brooklyn, NY</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/46124728417http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/46124728417Sat, 23 Mar 2013 22:16:39 -0400New York CitybrooklynnightArchitecture<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c0d54aafb6ef6a138b295b6fb062bc7e/tumblr_mk39kwF4t21qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/43a8ba832918b99d2eb7a56551ebec59/tumblr_mk39kwF4t21qhqrduo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/c66b4bb202560ca1c151aa7926f89e50/tumblr_mk39kwF4t21qhqrduo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Outtakes from <a href="http://www.mattnighswander.com/sitefolder/Planeview/index.html">‘Waiting for the Jets: Planeview Park, Queens’</a></p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/46033237065http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/46033237065Fri, 22 Mar 2013 21:04:19 -0400New York CityPlaneview Parkairplaneparkqueensplane<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/a892ddb82968ffb0bc62c96559618df9/tumblr_mj9thlesC71qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Lower Manhattan skyline from Brooklyn</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/44758811898http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/44758811898Wed, 06 Mar 2013 22:24:57 -0500new york citymanhattanskylinecityscapecitymotion blur<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/522d42999d9fb85bb12d17142da4cff0/tumblr_mj4483gRcy1qhqrduo3_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/c355c4d1a10e8975432355f5fe409962/tumblr_mj4483gRcy1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/4c4d3b92f736608fd7630b5d013ea08f/tumblr_mj4483gRcy1qhqrduo2_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/ca9ecef3a21970eeb8d5d8fdad3fafbb/tumblr_mj4483gRcy1qhqrduo4_500.jpg"/><br/> <br/><p>Gilmanton, NH</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/44505893787http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/44505893787Sun, 03 Mar 2013 20:37:54 -0500gilmantonnew hampshirenew englandwintersnow<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/9c6aec2d83cdc62ec7c1708c4360ae3a/tumblr_minn850VCh1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Brooklyn snow</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43776969280http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43776969280Fri, 22 Feb 2013 23:03:06 -0500brooklynnew yorksnownightweathernew york city<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/515b78ce18318aefa0d14aff06906992/tumblr_miltmuaKag1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Gilmanton, N.H.</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43733750172http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43733750172Fri, 22 Feb 2013 13:04:02 -0500New Englandnew hampshiregilmantonnightsnowwinter<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/91db3fa4a9b6eb3befb108a91127ca03/tumblr_milrazbBpe1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>from <a href="http://www.mattnighswander.com/sitefolder/DarkCountryRoad/index.html" target="_blank"><em>Dark Country Road</em>,</a> Gilmanton, N.H.</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43725654768http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43725654768Fri, 22 Feb 2013 10:30:22 -0500new englandnightsnowraindark country roadgilmantonnew hampshire<img src="http://25.media.tumblr.com/686f1e1e19239247f5db47c2824b8e18/tumblr_milqkdV65d1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Basement light, Gilmanton, N.H.</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43695974277http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43695974277Thu, 21 Feb 2013 22:19:25 -0500new hampshirenew englandsnowgilmantonwinternight<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/532681fcd10fd3afd08ead74478931ab/tumblr_miloglerBN1qhqrduo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p>Sled track, Gilmanton, N.H.</p>http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43692252143http://nighswander.tumblr.com/post/43692252143Thu, 21 Feb 2013 21:33:57 -0500snowwintersleddinggilmantonnew hampshirenew england
