Youngest Guantanamo prisoner is released.

The youngest prisoner to have ever gone to Guantanamo Bay has been ordered to be set free as the federal judges decided he was not a militant. He judge ruled Mohammad el-Gharani was not an enemy combatant and directed the military "to take all necessary and appropriate diplomatic steps to facilitate the release" of el-Gharani from the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Another Guantanamo detainee, Canadian Omar Khadr, was 14 or 15 when he was captured six years ago. Military prosecutors formally charged him in April 2007 with killing Sgt. Christopher James Speer, a U.S. soldier whose reconnaissance patrol was ambushed in Afghanistan in 2002. The American died nearly two weeks later. Khadr and el-Gharani remain among the youngest of Guantanamo's approximately 250 prisoners.

Day 18 of the Israeli war

The Israeli war enters its 18th day with 1000 casualties and there are at least 2000 injured and many more homeless. The Egyptians in Egypt believe that a truce will happen in 5 to 6 days so that barrack obama will enter office in a truce rather than in the middle of a war. The war has also been having a massive effect on both teams.But news reports on Thursday spoke of tank fire and fierce fighting in several parts of Gaza while the military said at least 10 rockets and mortars fired from Gaza hit southern Israel. Also on Wednesday, nine Israeli human rights groups called for an investigation into whether Israeli officials had committed war crimes in Gaza. The groups say that tens of thousands of civilians in Gaza have nowhere to flee, the Gaza health system has collapsed, many people are without electricity and running water, and some are beyond the reach of rescue teams. The Israeli human rights groups that called for an investigation said that while they believed that it was legitimate for Israel to bomb military installations, it was a violation of international law to hit civilian sites and government buildings that contained no weapons.

Ben Hur movie

The Ben Hur movie showed that not all the Jews trusted Jesus. Most of them went to listen to his preaches but never actually believed he was the son of god. The Ben Hur movie depicts the chariot racing in great detail. It seems that the chariot racing was very popular in ancient rome as there were at least a thousand people in the stands watching the chariot racing. The horses seemed to be very fit and trained. Ben Hur's horse was very well trained as it was able to jump over one of the wrecks and still continue running. The chariot racing was also a very dangerous sport as they were to chariot drivers who got injured in the race. One of them even died after being stampeded over. The winner of the chariot race was given a crown of olives, which symbolized, godliness and power. This was because the romans believed that the winner of the chariot races were very powerful and sacred. The race that Ben Hur raced in was very important as racers from many countries came to take part. This is like in the modern day football where the countries compete for fame. However I think that the race between Messalah and Ben Hur was much more than just for the countries honor. This is because Ben Hur blamed Messalah for imprisoning his mother and sister and believed that they had died in the prison. I also learned that leprosy in the ancient times was considered a unholy disease and people believed that if you had a leprosy and breathed into another person's face than that person would get leprosy. The people with leprosy would go to an underground cave and stay there away from all the other people.
