Guantanamo Interrogation Results Declassified
definitely a lot different than the mental image the 'due process' US attorneys have attempted to paint so far ...
"(snip)A detainee who helped run an international humanitarian aid group said he spent $1 million between November 2000 and November 2001 in Afghanistan, but also "admittedly purchased $5,000 worth of weapons utilizing the organization's funds" to support the Taliban's fight against the Northern Alliance and its ally, the United States, according to the summary.
A second detainee described traveling to Cambodia for relief efforts at an orphanage there. The summary adds, "By his own admission this detainee [also] met [Bin Laden] as many as four times during July 2001 and is believed to have substantial ties to Al Qaeda."
More than a dozen captives had the U.S. cash equivalent of as much as $10,000 when they were apprehended. Two had more than $40,000.
And more than 10% of those housed at Guantanamo Bay, it turns out, have college degrees, many from U.S. schools, and were educated as physicians, pilots, engineers, translators and lawyers.
One detainee, who "has threatened guards and admits enjoying terrorizing Americans," studied at Texas A&M University for 18 months and also took courses in English at the University of Texas in Austin, the summary said.
Another, identified as an Al Qaeda weapons supplier, studied at the Embry-Riddle flight school in Arizona and earned a graduate degree in avionics management.
Before Sept. 11, the FBI had picked up indications that Bin Laden was sending flight students to Arizona to learn how to commandeer U.S. aircraft.
The summary also weighed the risk of releasing detainees, pointing out that "we have been able to identify at least 10 by name" who were sent home before hearings even began last fall, only to rejoin the fight against the United States.(snip)"
Re: Guantanamo Interrogation Results Declassified
Yea, well, so says the military and the executive department! Now, how about we put them in front of a neutral magistrate and make the military/executive department ante-up and provide something in the way of evidence to substantiate their claims?!? At this point, the government's version can at best be characterized as unsubstantiated and untested allegations, as the government's version is the only one you're being allowed to hear.:-X
