The oft-repeated lie that these men are the “worst of the worst” has clouded the reality that the vast majority are completely innocent, and were simply swept up in a dragnet in Afghanistan. 78 have already been deemed innocent and cleared for release, yet pure political theater keeps them imprisoned. Moreover, only six of the 149 men have been formally charged with a crime. Five are being tried together as alleged co-conspirators of 9/11, although they are all said to have had varying operational levels, and one stands accused of masterminding the USS Cole bombing. Yet the commissions’ process is completely corrupted by absurd levels of government secrecy, classification and intrusion. rt/op-edge/185612-gitmo-occupation-torture-resistance/
