"Report claims most Guantanamo prisoners never saw battle"


But... but... but... Evil! Terra! Dark people!

Daily Times - Site Edition:
"* Only 8 percent detainees are characterised in govt documents as Al Qaeda fighters and 16 percent as Taliban fighters

MIAMI: The majority of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay naval base are not accused of committing hostile acts against the United States or its allies, and only a small percentage were captured by US forces, a review of government documents has found.

“The large majority of detainees never participated in any combat against the United States on a battlefield,” concluded a report compiled at Seton Hall University’s law school, in New Jersey, and given to Reuters on Thursday.

The report analysed unclassified government summaries of evidence the military used in 2004 hearings to decide whether 517 Guantanamo detainees were enemy combatants."
