759 documents reveal Truth About Guantanamo

Guantanamo. The material provides a frightening glimpse of how weak the grounds was to imprison many of the inmates. Among the 213 Afghans were a common cause of ending up at Guantanamo Bay as suspected terrorists that they would provide information about how the Taliban in Afghanistan, recruited soldiers - despite the terrorist suspects themselves were farmers and villagers who had often forcibly recruited into the Taliban army. Three of the Afghans was only 14 years old when they were sent to Guantanamo, while a senile 89-year-old was the oldest. In addition to the Afghans came many other innocent groups in prison. Among the declassified documents reveals the characters questioning the staff would look for to determine which prisoners were terrorists. For example, it was suspicious that have 100-dollar banknotes at the arrest. It struck such Muslim aid workers from the Arab world, who was on hand to provide assistance to the poor Afghans.

In fact, the regular taxi drivers, carpet sellers and farmers. Aftonbladet is starting today reveal the contents of the documents, made available by Wikileaks. In a month, Aftonbladet as the only Swedish newspaper with big media houses around the world - from the British Daily Telegraph, the American Washington Post - via Wikileaks had access to, and reviewed documents. Since the detention center at the U.S. naval base Guantanamo opened in January 2002, 779 prisoners been locked. 600 have been released, but seven prisoners have died. Today is 172 detainees remain.

Injected for jihad

Even journalists were arrested. A cameraman for Al Jazeera, Sudan, Sami al-Hajj, was at Guantanamo for six years for Americans to get information about the TV channel's "training, equipment and news reporting in Chechnya, Kosovo and Afghanistan." Today, the only 16 of the prisoners at Guantnamo be "high value detainees" prisoners of high value. One of them is Khalid Shaikh Mohammed, who planned the attack on the World Trade Center on 11 September 2001. Shaikh Mohammed was under the now released the document intended to expose U.S. for a "nuclear hell storm". Among other things,

Document of Mohammed that he half a year after the attack he ordered a subordinate to perform a suicide attack on Pakistan's former President Pervez Musharraf - but just before the man thought he would blow himself up, he learns that the task was just a test of his "willingness to die for the cause ". Another of the 16 most valuable prisoners, Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri, bragging in the documents that he was more important in the al-Qaeda than Khalid Shaikh Mohammed. The Americans then outlines al-Nashiri as "so dedicated for the jihad that he reportedly received injections that would lead to impotence and recommended injections to the other so that more time was devoted to jihad" rather than that they would be distracted by women.

However, documents show that the Americans believed that the Pakistani intelligence services - which formally was the U.S. allies in the fight against al-Qaeda - was a terrorist organization on a par with al-Qaeda. Yet trust the U.S. military thus their information about who was al-Qaida terrorists.

The medical history of many prisoners are notable for other reasons. Nearly 100 of the prisoners described as mentally ill. Among the 213 Afghans have been 28 psychiatric diagnosis. However, the papers almost empty on the details of the torture, as many Guantanamo detainees have described since they are released and come home. If one of the schizophrenic, Afghan Abdul Razaq, it says for example that the so-called "internal reaction force" - internal reaction force - called in to take care of him several times. But it says nothing about the brutal methods used by this force, according to released prisoners.

2011
Reports on how Bradley Manning, soldier suspected of having leaked secret U.S. documents to Wikileaks, treated in custody from escaping. The 23-year-old Manning has been isolated, forced to sleep naked and have brought several times a night. Manning moved from the naval base in Quantico, Virginia, to the military base at Fort Leavenworth in Kansas. He has been in custody since the summer of 2010. Aftonbladet may be the only Swedish newspaper access to detailed Wikileaks documents on all detainees at the Guantanamo prison. The documents show that the U.S. used a number of innocent people remain in office for years, while the so-called high-risk prisoners have been released. EXCLUSIVE 759 documents that reveal the truth about Guantanamo , the only Swedish Aftonbladet newspaper has access to the 759 documented - gives a chilling insight into the horror prison

Wikileaks had access to more than 700 secret files from the U.S. military on prisoners at Guantanamo. The documents reveal that more than 150 people sat locked up innocents on nonexistent evidence, according to U.S. military's own records. It's about a sheep farmer, drivers and cooks who get in the way of U.S. intelligence and troops in Afghanistan. In several cases they have been locked up in cages in Guantanamo for years, probably tortured before being released and dismissed as "unimportant" for intelligence. The documents are also examples of hard-line AlQaeda terrorists at Guantanamo, data on nuclear weapons and terrorist threats against the West. Aftonbladet will also be able to publish new data on the Swedish Guantanamo prisoner Mehdi Ghezali.

The revelations about Guantanamo will in almost ten years have passed since 9 / 11 to start a global debate about the human price of U.S. intelligence. Aftonbladet reporters Peter Kadhammar and Joachim Kerpner has worked with the material in a month. Aftonbladet has cooperated with the international newspapers, Washington Post, Daily Telegraph, Le Monde and El Pais . This work has partly been in London. We start to publish our review of the day, no earlier than planned, after the New York Times received the same material from another source and published materials in the morning. There is a vetting that provides a unique insight into the largest legal scandal of our time. None of the over 700 prisoners have been given a trial where the evidence against them tested. The record demonstrates that there is no limit to how thin the evidence was. Everything from a ticket to Kabul in a pocket that a person used a particular type of Casio watches are considered to be "proof". Sometimes the only evidence. Aftonbladet, the next few days to give a unique picture of the notorious Guantanamo. We begin today with news reporting on the site. Tomorrow we publish Peter Kadhammars first story

And we get support for the idea.

Can reduce the propensity to report

But when the document Duty Inquiry handed its report to the Minister of Justice Beatrice Ask in March 2001, was the answer to one civilkuragelag would not have a significant positive effect. "However, it would reduce people's willingness to provide information and testify about the abuse and accidents in cases where they have not done enough to help," the investigators Olle Abrahamsson, Legal Counsel at the Justice Department, the report - which discourages the introduction of a law on obligation to intervene. In an article in the Daily News points out the right director Olle Abrahamsson also studies from the United States show that there are more people who die in the attempt to rescue persons in distress, than saved for life.

Not illegal to lack the courage to intervene

Under Swedish law there is no duty to intervene if a person is seriously injured or threatened with life. Errors, like many Swedes, and politicians. But a government investigation has concluded that such a law would provide no appreciable benefit. In Sweden there are several cases where people have been seriously injured without anyone intervening. For example, raped two teenage girls in Husby bath, the first 2005 and second in 2006, without any of the bathers went by. At these events usually flare up a debate that Sweden needs a law on the duty to intervene and in 2009 the Government appointed a committee to clarify the impact of the introduction of a so-called civilkuragelag would have on impact.

The U.S. has no conviction for failure to

The term was coined as spirited Nationalencyklopedien by Otto von Bismarck, the German Empire's founder. In 1864 he used

the word on the soldiers who had the courage to even under difficult circumstances to have their say as civilians. The word is commonly used on people who take a personal risk to do what is considered right, but often also more practical for politicians who dare go against the grain. The U.S. has introduced a civilkuragelag in the states of Vermont, Rhode Island and Minnesota, but since the law was introduced, nobody has been convicted of failure. In Europe there is a law on civil courage in Norway, Denmark and France. Source: TT, Government

Among those who fled to a series of high commanders in the radical Islamist movement there. The incident confirmed by NATO. In five months, they have dug in shifts every night to escape. According to the news channel Al Jazeera, a number of prison guards were involved and aware of the escape plan but have not intervened.

Very well planned

In an official statement from the Taliban said it also because it had several suicide bombers prepared outside the prison in connection with the escape of the night - all ready to sacrifice themselves in the "holy war" on prison guards to intervene against the fugitives.

http://www.aftonbladet.se/nyheter/article129 27954.ab

The action can therefore be stated to be very well planned and under the Taliban, the prison guards should not have noticed that the prisoners had fled until four hours later. The prison in southern Afghanistan said to keep everything from drug dealers to the Mujahedin-soldiers arrested by NATO forces. In addition to some 500 Taliban militants who escaped should also be about 40 "regular" heavy criminals have taken out simultaneously.

500 Taliban militants escaped from prison

Dug 320 meters underground passage
About 500 Taliban militants have escaped from a prison in Kandahar in southern Afghanistan. They did it by digging a 320 meter long underground tunnel.

A major setback
That as many as one hundred Taliban officers and about 400 'foot soldiers' successful escape and join the movement's troops in southern Afghanistan is obviously a huge setback for the Afghan authorities - and the international coalition, including Sweden. But it is not the first time a large number of mujahideen fleeing from this particular prison. 2008 Taliban fighters attacked the prison and managed by blowing a large hole in the surrounding wall exempt a total of 1150 prisoners, including 400 belonging to the Taliban movement.

The Swede Mehdi Ghezali was at that time in Afghanistan. When he tried to get out of the country, he was arrested in Pakistan, handed over to U.S. military and taken to Guantanamo prison as a suspected terrorist. Only after two years he was released out.

The prison in Sweden

According to the documents from Guantanamo that Aftonbladet had access via

Wikileaks should Ghezali "transferred to another country for continued detention control" - in prison in Sweden, in other words. So it was not. Of the 600 Guantnamo detainees have been released have only a few have been transferred to another prison. This is despite the imprisonment of another country was a very common American recommendation.

Not guilty of crimes

The document also shows that the U.S. military did not send Ghezali to Guantanamo because he was guilty of any crime. The reason was rather that he would "provide general and specific information about the cultural, religious and ethnic recruitment of Muslim foreigners who participate in the hajj in Saudi Arabia". (Hajj is the pilgrimage to Mecca Ghezali did.)

Medium risk
Ghezali, was in the U.S. military a medium risk because he in the future "can be a threat to the United States, its interests and its allies". Moreover, he had "medium intelligence value". Tomorrow Aftonbladet publishes a long text with all the American accusations against the Mehdi Ghezali.
