Dear Dennis,
I'm writing to you because sometimes there are things you can't say, but rather write on paper, and even if i were to tell you you won't understand. So any way, here are the things.
First: About this whole MC [military commission]thing we all don't believe in and know it's unfair and know Dennis that there must be somebody to secrfice to really show the world the unfairness, and really it seems that it's me. Know Dennis that i don't want that. i want my freedom and life, but i really don't see it coming from this way. Dennis you always say that i have an obligation to show the world what is going on down here and it seems that we've done every thing but the world doesn't get it. So it might work if the world sees the U.S. sentencing a child to life in prison. It might show the world how unfair and sham this process is, and if the world doesn't see all this to what world am i being released to? A world of hate, unjustice and discrimination. I really don't want to live in a life like this. Dennis, justice and freedom have a very high cost and value, and history is a good witness to it, not too far ago or far away how many people secrficed for the civil right law to take affect, Dennis i hate being the head of the speer but life has put me, and as life has put me in hard position and still is, i just have to deal with it and hope for the best results.
Second: the thought of firing every body, as you know is always on my mind so if one day i stop coming or fire you please respect it and forget about me, i know it's hard for you just think about me as a child who died and get along with your life. Of course i'm not saying that will or will not happen, but it's on my mind all the time.
Dennis i'm so sorry to cause you this pain, but consider it one of your sons had decisions you don't like, but you have to deal with, and always know what you mean to me and know that i will always be teh same person you've known me and will neevr change, and please don't be sad and be hopeful and know that there is a very merciful and compassionate creator watching us and looking out for us and taking care of us all, you might not understand these thing, but know by experience they have kept me how and who i am.
With love and my best wishes to you, and the family, and every body who loves me, and i love them, back in Canada and I leave you with HOPE and I am living on it, so take care.
Your truly son,
Omar
