WASHINGTON — A federal judge has ordered that an independent medical panel conduct a review of the mental health of a Saudi prisoner at the Guantanamo Bay detention center who has been accused of trying to enter the U.S. to be the 20th hijacker in the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.

Mohammed al-Qahtani has been held at Guantanamo for 18 years but never charged because a Pentagon legal official determined he had been tortured at the U.S. base in Cuba.

Lawyers for al-Qahtani say he has suffered from mental illness, including schizophrenia, since childhood and should be returned home to Saudi Arabia for psychiatric confinement and treatment. The government opposes repatriation and says he can be treated at Guantanamo.

On Friday, U.S. District Judge Rosemary Collyer directed the government to set up a Mixed Medical Commission. It would consist of an American military doctor along with two physicians from a neutral third country to determine if his condition meets the standard for required medical repatriation according to Army regulations governing the treatment of prisoners of war under the Geneva Conventions.

It would be the first time such a commission has been ordered at Guantanamo but Shayana Kadidal, an attorney for the 45-year-old prisoner, said a similar process was used for thousands of captured German troops during World War II.

“It is something that is part of the traditional make up of military detention,” Kadidal said. “It’s not something novel. It’s in the Army’s own regs.”

A recent interview has unraveled new details in the mysterious death of a whistleblower that has yet to be discussed by mainstream media.

Philip Haney, the whistleblower against the Obama administration, was found dead on February 21 with a single gun shot wound near a California highway. Investigators have said the scene appeared to look like a suicide.

In an interview on Friday, however, Haney’s pastor suggested his death might have been a murder rather than a suicide.

“No I do not believe he was suicidal, I do not believe that,” said Pastor Grey Young. “…You have a man that was planning to get married, a man who was very devout in his Christian faith, a man who had a lot of incredible projects in the works.”

Young went on to recount his last conversation with Haney before his death, which led him to believe Haney was excited about his future.

“Our last message together basically was ‘hey. I can’t wait to share with you this incredible thing that’s happened’ and he was very excited about it,” he stated.

Young often referenced Haney’s excitement for his book titled: “See Something, Say Nothing — A Homeland Security Officer Exposes the Government’s Submission to Jihad.”

The book was set up as an interview about Haney’s experience working for the Department of Homeland Security and allegedly preventing hundreds of potential terrorist threats.

More importantly, the book details Haney’s testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee in which he claimed federal law enforcement showed “willful blindness” to Islamic attacks in America.

Days after Haney’s death, the Amador County Sheriff’s Office announced the case will likely be a lengthy investigation.

“The individual assessment by the deputies arriving on the scene and their supervisor is the start of the investigation, it is not the end,” stated county Coroner Martin Ryan. “And we have not made any conclusions as to the cause and manner of death.”

For now, details about the investigation into Haney’s death are limited, but the FBI is working with local authorities to determine an official cause of death.
