Dozens detained in Guantanamo may be innocent
'Dozens of detainees are Afghan and Pakistani nationals described in
classified intelligence reports as farmers, taxi drivers, cobblers and
labourers. Some were low-level fighters conscripted in the weeks before the
collapse of the Islamist Taliban militia that once held 90 per cent of
Afghanistan and sheltered Osama bin Laden's Al Qaeda fighters before the
war against terrorism began last fall. None of the 59 met US screening
criteria for determining who should be in Guantanamo, military sources
said. But all were transferred anyway, for reasons that still baffle and
frustrate intelligence officers nearly a year after the first group of
detainees arrived'
