Bin Laden’s Chauffeur, Kidnap Tourism, Healthcare in Havana, And ‘Leaving Home Without It’



Bin Laden’s chauffeur
becomes a taxi driver. Salim Ahmad Bin Hamdan has announced that he is driving in his home country of Yemen. He told the Toronto Star that his life is much better than it was during the past seven years when he was held at Guantanamo….

He said every person needs time to adjust, but that tourism in Yemen is so week that his taxi business does not earn enough to keep the car going…He also said that he does not talk about his experience at Gitmo and is not involved in debates about East-West relations…

Clearly this guy has not lived in America. Guantanamo is Cuban: it even has the same good public health care option as Cuba has; something that Michael Moore proved when he tried to use his Visa card at a clinic in Old Havana. Moore discovered on camera, to the chagrin of the banks and other credit card sharks, that yes, you can and should leave home without it: at least you can in Havana and at Guantanamo.

Otherwise Mr. Hamdan the former Bin Laden chauffeur would be making the Talk TV circuit, Oprah, Larry King. Food Channel, ESPN. Etc. He could be resting on his laurels, so to speak, instead of running a cab in a place where the main industry is not traditional tourism but kidnap-tourism.

Mr. Hamdan ought to talk to Levi Johnson, or that camera-chasing sheriff in Florida, or to the next door neighbor of the woman who used to clean house for Michael Jackson’s next to last neighbor. They could tell him how to ride a celebrity rub for all its worth. And you can’t get more celebrity than Osama Bin Laden and his assorted wives- even in the Land of the Free you can’t.
