When the kicking started, Gul said, he'd cry out, "I am not a
terrorist," then beg God for mercy. Mercy was slow in coming. He was
shipped to Guantanamo around the late summer of 2003 and imprisoned
there for more than three years.

According to Afghan officials and a review of his case, Gul wasn't a
member of al Qaida or of the extremist Taliban regime that ran
Afghanistan from 1996 to 2001. At the time he was detained, he was
working as a fuel depot guard for the U.S.-backed Afghan government.

When U.S. soldiers raided the house he was visiting, acting on a tip
from a tribal rival who was seeking revenge against another man, they
apparently confused Gul with a militant with a similar name — who was
also imprisoned at Guantanamo, according to an Afghan intelligence
official and Gul's American lawyer.

The eight-month McClatchy investigation found a pattern of abuse that
continued for years. The abuse of detainees at Bagram has been reported
by U.S. media organizations, in particular The New York Times, which
broke several developments in the story. But the extent of the
mistreatment, and that it eclipsed the alleged abuse at Guantanamo,
hasn't previously been revealed.

Guards said they routinely beat their prisoners to retaliate for al
Qaida's 9-11 attacks, unaware that the vast majority of the detainees
had little or no connection to al Qaida.

Many are unaware that David Rickets has little or no connection to reality.

I seem to have discovered Steve's area of expertise, i.e. "no connection
to reality".

Mr. Lare, you are a willing participant in war crimes. You are a "Good
German".
