US holds scores of ‘innocent’ terror suspects
Tom Lasseter; 17/6/08
An investigation into terrorism suspects held in US prison camps around the world has found that possibly hundreds have been wrongly imprisoned. The eight-month investigation on three continents found that the US had wrongfully imprisoned suspects in Afghanistan, Cuba and elsewhere on the basis of “flimsy or fabricated evidence, old personal scores or bounty payments”, reported the McClatchy newspapers website yesterday. McClatchy, the third-largest newspaper and internet publisher in the US, said it had interviewed 66 released detainees, more than a dozen local officials, primarily in Afghanistan, and several US officials and former officials. The investigation also reviewed thousands of pages of US military tribunal documents and other records.
