3 SNAPSHOT OF GITMO A ginormous weekend Wikileak describes conditions in the U.S. prison camp:
The 759 Guantánamo files, classified “secret”, cover almost every inmate since the camp was opened in 2002. More than two years after President Obama ordered the closure of the prison, 172 are still held there.
The files depict a system often focused less on containing dangerous terrorists or enemy fighters, than on extracting intelligence. Among inmates who proved harmless were an 89-year-old Afghan villager, suffering from senile dementia, and a 14-year-old boy who had been an innocent kidnap victim.
The leak includes new info on Canadian citizen and Guantanamo prisoner Omar Khadr.
