""A 59-year-old Guantanamo Bay detainee has refused to have a required heart procedure at the U.S. military base in Cuba, one of his attorneys said Sunday," the Associated Press reports: Saifullah A. Paracha, a Pakistani multimillionaire, will not agree to have a cardiac catheterization done at the base because he thinks its medical facilities and backups are inadequate, said Zachary Katznelson of the London-based human rights group Reprieve. "This is a completely new procedure for Guantanamo. Mr. Paracha very well might need open heart surgery, and that has never been done before at Guantanamo," Katznelson said. Paracha, who is accused of laundering money for al-Qaida and plotting to smuggle explosives into the United States, already has had one heart attack while in U.S. custody and has recently suffered chest pains, according to his lawyers. . . . Paracha's family has urged Pakistan's government to seek his return home for medical treatment."

The poor terrorist has to get a lawyer to keep those monsters at Guantanamo from performing life-saving surgery on him. You see why people keep comparing Guantanamo to Nazi Germany. The parallels are eerie.

I'd rather have surgery on a US military base than anywhere in Pakistan.
