Esquire magazine has this lengthy feature on Guantanamo detainee and convicted war criminal Noor Uthman Muhammad. It's a sympathetic account, one that treats Uthman chiefly as a victim. But it contains enough facts about the case that many readers will, I suspect, emerge less sympathetic than the author.
