An Afghan man is held as an unlawful combatant in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba for 2 years. When brought before (a now declared illegal) military tribunal, he calls four witnesses from Afghanistan.
The tribunal reports back (months later) that it cannot find them sending the man back to his cell.
The guardian investigates and finds the witnesses in..wait for it....3 days.
So here's the question - do you think the government even looked or was it just incompetent at looking?
You have a valid point. However in my defense, the original problem that prompted the blog link instead of a direct link is the character limit over at trees and things.
ReplyDeleteIf I hadn't been so lazy, I could have used tinyurl links, but haste makes waste..thus the blog link, and then again not even to the key article :)
