"A Guantanamo Bay prisoner has an online dating profile"

"says he is 'detained but ready to mingle'"
Muhammad Rahim al-Afghani is looking for love on Match.com from the confines of his prison camp, where he has been held since 2007.
According to his lawyer Carlos Warner, who monitors the account, al-Afghani set up the profile in 2012.
With the location set to 'Guantanamo Bay', his tag line reads, 'detained but ready to mingle' - and he gets matches every day.

Alas, I was hoping this was an Onion article. I am wrong again.

Hey, wasn't Joker WhatsHisFace a big heartthrob once he got his pitcher on the cover of the Rolling Stone?

has to be a joke.
Detained but ready to mingle.
If it's not then we're going to have to concede that at least one terrorist has a highly developed sense of humor.

SBJ (single brown jihadi) wishings to meet up to 4 single or widowed females. ages 7 to 44, religions not important yet. Moustaches OK, won't show under burka.
Object matrimonies and suicide bombings. No fatties.

oh, crap, it's real. Article at Daily Mail. (Of course story not in a U.S. rag.)
So this is clearly a case of inadvertent hilarity or he's really confident (not with justification given Barry the Gitmo Fairy) that he'll be outta there soon.
Muhammad, is that an IED or are you just happy to see us? What? Both? BOOOM.

The terrorist is concerned about his reputation since Ashley Madison has been hacked. His reputation! Someone might find out. Oh, no. Also-just noticed this- the attorney is giving him advice on dating sites. Has suggested that match.com is for old people and that the terrorist should try tinder instead. Terrorist has seen through this piss-poor advice and is opting to remain on match.com. I note that the terrorist does not even consider eharmony.com or farmersonly.com. Why?
