The missile struck the taxi, nothing else in the village was targeted.Mohammed Rahim said he fled one way, and Mohammed Omar fled another, and that this was his last contact with him.Muhammad Rahim's lawyer, Carlos Warner of Akron, Ohio, describes how even when meeting with his client, Rahim is still shackled. Warner has filed a civil writ of habeas corpus seeking Rahim's release because of the lack of charges against his client after five years of detention.During his time in Guantanamo, Rahim has written several letters to Carlos Warner, which Warner has recently made publuc.

His lawyer explains that his unrest with Lebron James' move from the Cleveland Cavaliers to the Miami Heat was rooted in Rahim's feelings of intense loyalty. Muhammad Rahim also wrote that he "like[s] this new song Gangnam Style" and "[wants] to do the dance for [Carlos Warner] but cannot because of [his] shackles." In addition to knowledge of American pop culture through reading magazines Carlos Warner brings to Guantanamo during visits, Rahim's letters expose his aptitude for language.Rahim wrote his lawyer to "Tell the guards to leave [his] friend alone. They need to chillax." These letters do not portray the exposed distress and disheartenment expected of a Guantanamo Bay detainee. Carlos Warner believes that Rahim's letters show that "he's different and he's intelligent... just think that he's doing this under all the restrictions that he's under down there. He has an incredibly good sense of humor." Muhammad Rahim's optimism while facing detainment in a hostile prison without having been charged with a crime or brought to trial is remarkable. His letters are examples of defiance and resilience that warrant a response from those detaining him unlawfully.. }
