Detainees under Harry Potter's spell

Detainees under Harry Potter's spell

Gitmo meets Azkaban:

Harry Potter's worldwide popularity is so broad-based that it has become favorite reading for Islamic terror suspects at the U.S. prison at Guantanamo Bay.

J.K. Rowling's tales about the boy wizard are on top of the request list for the camp's 520 al Qaeda and Taliban suspects, followed by Agatha Christie whodunits.


Administration officials denied reports that guards had flushed Harry Potter books down the toilet, but had no comment on allegations that prisoners had been tortured by Half Blood Prince spoilers.
