  • During his interview Ahmed Adil described life in the Uyghur construction camp[22]:
"It was a simple life, but there was food and shelter, and company. I'd only been there 45 days when the bombing started. At first I wasn't worried, because it had nothing to do with me. But then it did. The bombs got close."

"Even in Guantanamo, I was strong. Look up the records: I did not need doctors. But now, everything has changed. I am sick every day; I am in pain every day. It is no secret why. I have lost hope."
"I have not seen my daughter since she was 4 months old. When I arrived, I had hope, but it is clear I will never see her again. I will never again see my wife. I have no dreams for the future."
"It's sad, isn't it? We grow up believing America is the land of hope. And yet, that is who killed hope for me."
279 Mohammed Ayub China
  • Mohammed Ayub told interviewers he found the conditions in Guantanamo so harsh that he dropped from 164 to 105 pounds, and that he was so hungry he was reduced to eating orange peels.[24] He told interviewers captives were punished harshly for small infractions, like having an extra napkin.
  • In spite of his treatment in Guantanamo Mohammed Ayub told reporters he would still like to move to the USA.[24] He has relatives who live in America, and in 2001 he had a student visa for the USA. But a friend he was traveling with did not, and he decided to postpone his travel until his friend had a visa too.
  • Mohammed Ayub described the interrogations the captives went through when Chinese security officials visited Guantanamo as[25]:
"...nothing more than threats. They told me they knew my family, where I'd lived, when I'd left China, where I'd traveled. I would be imprisoned if I ever tried to return to China. It was frightening, they got to us inside that place."
  • Mohammed Ayub said that he and his companion decided to wait for the visa in Afghanistan, where he was mugged, lost his money and identity papers.[24]
283 Abu Baqr Qassim China
  • According to the McClatchy reporters his translators encouraged him to hope, while the American guards treated him with brutality[25]:
"America has always helped the Uighurs. The American translators told us not to worry, we were merely in the wrong place at the wrong time. We weren't enemies. We were Uighurs."
"...argued to the United Nations that Uighurs should be branded a terrorist organization, in part because they'd been using "art and literature" to "distort historical facts."
  • Abu Baqr Qassim described realizing he had to learn Arabic if he was ever to get out of Guantanamo.[25] And when he was transferred to lighter security in a dormitory shared with Arabic speakers and other Uyghurs they set about taking informal Arabic lessons. Abu Baqr Qassim told reporters the Uyghurs request for paper, to make notes, was denied -- although the Guantanamo policy states that captives were to be issued a certain number of pages per month, for sending mail. He was punished by being sent to solitary confinement when guards found he had used napkins to take notes. When he got an attorney, and that attorney brought him books, so he could learn English, guards confiscated the books.
  • Now that he is in Albania, and his prospects of ever getting a passport or visa seem slim, he has started learning Albanian -- but without enthusiasm[25].
293 Adel Abdulhehim China
  • The McClatchy interview records his account of his "military training" in the Uyghur construction camp[26]:
“They had some guns, some AK-47s, and asked us if we wanted to learn to use them. Really, I was curious. I'd never been allowed to handle one before. We went out once, for an hour or so. I think I shot three or four bullets, at rocks. That was it.”
306 Abdul Salam Zaeef Afghanistan
371 Brahim Yadel France
  • According to his McClatchy interviewer Brahim Yadel was disgusted by al Qaeda's attacks on September 11, 2001, and tried to flee Afghanistan immediately after he heard of them, and never engaged in hostilities against US forces.[28] However he acknowledged receiving military training in Afghanistan, and: "...even took advanced al Qaida courses in electronics that would have led to bomb making."'
  • "I always differentiated between war to defend Islam and terrorism. I went to Afghanistan to defend Islam, for jihad. Had this been a military engagement, I would have stood and fought. Of course, it was not, and I wanted nothing to do with it."[28]
  • "I simply told the truth, that I wished to be a soldier to fight soldiers, that I had no intention of fighting civilians. I always told the entire truth. I think they respected that."[28]
  • He told his McClatchy interviewer that he saw the USS Cole as a legitimate military target, but felt his non-western companions in Afghanistan had no idea how appalling the attack on the World Trade Center was[28]:
"I knew bin Laden was against the Americans," he said. "In the logic of war, attacking a warship made sense. It wasn't my battle, but I could understand it. Unlike the Afghans, I'd grown up in Western culture, which means American culture. They didn't understand the enormity of what had happened. I did. It was horrible. I didn't believe in this war."[28]
457 Mohammed Gul Afghanistan
  • Mohammed Gul only reported being beaten once in US custody, in the Kandahar detention facility.[29]
  • Mohammed Gul said he was interrogated very infrequently, during the three and a half years he spent in Guantanamo, and that when he was interrogated his interrogators asked him to explain why he was being held, to which he replied[29]:
"I said please let me know my crime; I am not Taliban, I am not al Qaida. They had no answer. They just said they were writing down what I said."
  • Mohammed Gul told his interviewers that he had great difficulty coping with the isolation and long detention[29]:
"One day I beat my head against a bar in my cell until I was unconscious."
  • Mohammed Gul was then confined to the wing of the prison for psychiatric cases.[29]
  • He told his interviewer that he had not been able to curb his racing thoughts, and had not been able to return to work.[29] He asked his interviewer whether he thought there were any American psychiatrists in Kabul.
458 Sarajuddin Afghanistan

According to the McClatchy report neighbors and local officials stated that Sarajuddin did have ties to Haqqani.
  • Sarajuddin told reporters he suffered ongoing mental problems caused by his experiences in US custody.[30]
492 Airat Vakhitov Russia

He said he was kidnapped by the forces of the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, and eventually transported to Afghanistan, against his will.
512 Mohammed Saduq Afghanistan
  • Mohammed Saduq reported he was captured in his home in Chaman, not on a battlefield.[32]
  • His capture didn't surprise him because as the director of an orphanage, he was a civil servant appointed by the Taliban.[32] The McClatchy article reported that the Tahia Maskan orphanage he directed[32]:
"...was, by most accounts, a place where children were malnourished and often beaten, another horrific corner of the Taliban world, but not an important post."
"...was not a military guy, he was not a minister, but he was someone the Taliban consulted with because he was seen as someone who understood politics."
“...very weak, physically, when I saw him at Guantanamo.”
“It is very difficult to know the inside of a man, and it’s hard to say how it affected him — going from an ambassador to being in a cage — but he told me in Guantanamo that he was suffering badly.”
515 Israr ul Haq Pakistan
  • Israr ul Haq was one of the 201 captives who were released or repatriated prior to having their "enemy combatant status" confirmed by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[8]

  • Israr ul Haq reports Koran desecration.[34] Israr ul Haq reports being beaten and abused in US custody, in Kandahar, Bagram and Guantanamo.
  • Israr ul Haq reported that the American interrogators were routinely dishonest with the captives[34]:
"They said the person in the cage next to me said he saw me with al Qaida or Taliban leaders. But the interrogators were lying; no one had told them that. They lied to everybody. They told the men next to me that I had said they were in this battle or that one; but we talked with each other in our cages and realized they were making all of this up."
523 Ehsanullah Afghanistan

  • Apprehended in Herat, a province adjacent Iran.[37]

568 Adel al Zamel Kuwait
  • Adel al Zamel told McClatchy reporters he had worked for the Kuwaiti housing authority until 2000 when he moved to Afghanistan to work for the al Wafa charity, and that he had never been anything more than a charity worker, distributing food and overseeing small infrastructure projects.[39]
  • Adel al Zamel told McClatchy reporters that he still hadn't recovered from his initial meetings two and a half months earlier, when he was transferred to Guantanamo.[39] He described being shown a diagram, with three names on it, linked by arrows: UBL, Abu Ghaith, "you", linked by arrows. When he denied being linked to Osama bin Laden he was locked, for a month, in a small metal box, with no toilet facilities:
  • "The cell was hot. I couldn't sleep at night. The pillow was soaked with my sweat. There was a small opening in the cell wall; I used to push my nose to it. I used the bathroom on the floor; there was nothing else to do."[39]
  • "I thought they were going to kill me, and then I thought they were going to leave me in there until I died. I was losing my mind. I started to think that one day they were going to open the door and let a lion in to eat me. The world was getting smaller and smaller."[39]
  • Adel al Zamel told reporters that during 2005, his last year in Guantanamo, interrogators repeatedly threatened that he would be transferred to a torture state, for more brutal interrogation.[39]
  • Adel al Zamel said that, finally, the interrogators treatment cracked his will, and he told them[39]:
"I told them, 'I am Osama bin Laden. Please kill me. I just wanted it to end."
  • The McClatchy report stated Adel Al Zamel and some associates had been sentenced to a year in prison for an attack on young woman they thought was being too publicly affectionate with her boyfriend.[39]

He said he was captured with Adel al Zamel, who the McClatchy reporters noted was captured in Peshawar in January 2002. He said he had traveled to Pakistan to import honey.
  • When he was arrested his visa had expired.[40] He thought he would soon be released over what was a minor disgression, but a Pakistani police officer demanded a bribe first, which he declined, resulting in a longer detention, which, unfortunately, overlapped al Qaeda's attacks on September 11, 2001, making it economically worthwhile for the Pakistani police to turn him over the Americans.
  • Al Azmi told reporters he was beaten in both Kandahar detention facility and the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.[40]
589 Khaled al Asmr Jordan
  • Khaled al Asmr described hearing his initial Pakistani captors negotiate a $5,000 bounty for him and six other captives, and that Americans immediately started beating him, while he was still hooded and bound, following his purchase.[41]
  • Khaled al Asmr told McClatchy reporters American interrogators beat him in the Kandahar detention facility and Bagram Theater Internment Facility.[41]
  • Khaled al Asmr told McClatchy reporters interrogators fondled his privates, which disturbed him more than the beatings.[41]
"Once they said, 'We will conduct a medical checkup.' They took me to a clinic, but instead of doing a checkup, a female soldier played with my sexual organs. When she was doing this, I prayed to God to help me, and my penis did not move."
  • Khaled al Asmr told McClatchy reporters that he had met Osama bin Laden during the 1980s, and had conversations with him, but he had no contact with him following the ouster of Afghanistan's Soviet occupiers.[41] He acknowledged that he had a closer relationship with Abdullah Azzam than he had acknowledged to his interrogators, but repeated he had no contact with Azzam's organization following 1992.
624 Abdul Majid Mahmoud Pakistan

Abdul Majid Mahmoud was one of the 201 captives who were released or repatriated prior to having their "enemy combatant status" confirmed by a Combatant Status Review Tribunal.[8]

  • He was captured in Afghanistan in December 2001.[42] He told the Afghan troops who captured him he crossed the border to Afghanistan to attend a friend's wedding. The McClatchy reporter stated he had shrapnel wounds, and his account was not believed. He said he was beaten, and held in brutal conditions for months by the Afghan troops, before Americans showed up. His guards told him he was being sold to the Americans for a $5,000 bounty.

He reported brutal beatings in both Afghan custody, and in Kandahar.
  • Noor Habib was transported to Guantanamo in mid 2002.[43] Before he was released, in the summer of 2003, shortly before he was repatriated, he was told that he had been suspected of being a Taliban commander.
633 Mohammed Naim Farouq Afghanistan
  • According to the McClatchy report Mohammed Naim Farouq was the leader of a gang of bandits prior to his capture and transport to Guantanamo, with no ties to al Qaeda or the Taliban.[44][45] Abdul Jabar Sabit Afghan Attorney General, interviewed Mohammed Naim Farouq in Guantanamo, and characterized him as a "rural gangster".
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq, on the other hand, describes himself as the leader of a kind of vigilante militia, who were trying to keep order in their region.[44] He said that he and his family clashed with the Taliban, during their regime, but, eventually they
"...realized that I am from a big tribe ... so we came to an agreement."
  • The McClatchy report said Mohammed Naim Farouq became the head of Security for Zormat District, following the Taliban's ouster, noting[44]:
"It's not clear whether the new, U.S.-backed government appointed Farouq to that position or, more likely, whether he just had more guns than anyone else in the area."
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq was apprehended after he confronted some American soldiers who had apprehended some of his men.[44]
  • According to various Afghan officials Mohammed Naim Farouq became a Taliban leader after his repatriation.[44] He however maintained, during his interview, that he was just trying to keep order in his region.
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq reported routine abuse and humiliation by his American captors. He was not cooperative with his interrogators[44]:
"They asked me if I knew Osama bin Laden. I said, 'Fuck bin Laden and fuck your wife, too. Bin Laden came and destroyed our nation, and you came and destroyed our nation. But at least bin Laden was a Muslim and did not humiliate us like this.'"
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq told McClatchy reporters that he had opposed the Taliban, when they were in power, that his tribal militia had struggled with them, that his brother had been driven into exile.
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq described being taken into American custody after questioning American GIs when they had taken some of his men into custody -- even though he had identified himself as the District's Police Commander.
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq described being repeatedly humiliated in the Kandahar detention facility and the Bagram Theater Detention Facility by being stripped naked.
"...they took me into interrogation completely naked. They asked me if I knew Osama bin Laden. I said, 'Fuck bin Laden and fuck your wife, too. Bin Laden came and destroyed our nation, and you came and destroyed our nation. But at least bin Laden was a Muslim and did not humiliate us like this.' "
  • Mohammed Naim Farouq described seeing an American GI in Afghanistan throw a Koran into a bucket of excrement.
673 Alif Khan Afghanistan
  • Alif Khan said that he was captured by warlord militia-men, at a roadblock.[46] The same troops had captured him a few days previously, but had set him free after he paid a bribe. The second time they beat him, and turned him over to the Americans.
  • Alif Khan was released in March 2003, making him one of the first captives to be set free.[46] He said he spent 20 days in the Kandahar detention facility, and 45 days in the Bagram collection point, prior to being transferred to Guantanamo.

  • Upon his return to Afghanistan he had to move from Khost to Kabul for his own safety.[46] His early release meant that local Taliban sympathizers thought he had collaborated with the Americans, and he feared retribution.

  • Lal reported being subjected to sleep deprivation in Bagram.[49]
  • The McClatchy report quoted an Afghan official named Mohammed Roze, who acknowledged Lal had served as the commander of a border patrol, but that he nevertheless belonged in Guantanamo, because he had bombarded settlements full of civilians during regional disputes.[49] The report quoted Mateullah Khan, the chief of police of Konar Province who asserted Sabar Lal had helped militants escape.

  • Qadar Khandan reports being beaten and subject to abusive interrogation in both the Kandahar detention facility and the Bagram Theater Internment Facility.[50] He described being held in isolation, and suspended by his hands round the clock, for twenty days -- a technique Bagram staff had used that killed two captives in December 2002.
"My heels weren't touching the ground, only my toes, and I had on earphones, goggles and a hood. Three or four times I became unconscious. The guards would open the gate and come in and punch me in the stomach."
  • In Guantanamo he reports interrogators had him sent to spend much of his time in solitary confinement -- including two periods of seven months straight.[50] The rules for humane treatment in US domestic prisons never allow prisoners to be left in solitary for more than thirty days.

He also told them he suffered from headaches and hypertension, arising from the conditions of his detention.
  • The McClatchy report states that other sources told them that Naim Kochi was a senior leader in the Ahmadzai tribe.[52] McClatchy reporters sought the opinion of Afghanistan's Attorney General, Abdul Jabar Sabit, who had interviewed Naim Kochi, when he visited Afghanistan, who said he lacked any political convictions:
"He was pro-king, and then he was pro-communist and then he was pro-mujahedeen when they took over Kabul. And when the Taliban came, he was a staunch supporter."

Guantanamo pictures

[edit]

In 2008 the McClatchy News Service published approximately 8 dozen articles based on interviews with 66 former captives. They published photos to accompany those articles. They are proprietary images. I used webcitation.org to preserve snapshots of those images. I thought an argument might be made that some of the images may qualify for fair use.
