Despite his role as editor, Siems has never had any face-to-face interactions with Slahi. Journalists have been repeatedly denied in their attempts to speak with Guantanamo detainees since the facility opened after 9/11.
Most of Slahi’s interactions with the outside world are with his legal counsel. One of those attorneys, Nancy Hollander, last saw Slahi in the fall. She said he was aware of the book’s coming release date, but it’s unclear if he’s caught wind of anything since it hit shelves last week.
