Permalink Bush trio 'knew innocence of many Gitmo inmates'

In order to justify the US-led War on Terror, the Bush administration deliberately kept hundreds of 'innocent' terror suspects in the notorious Guantanamo prison camp. According to new documents recently obtained by the Times, former US president George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld refused to free scores of innocent Guantanamo inmates for fear that their release would harm the US-led campaign for war in Iraq and the broader 'War on Terror.' Lawrence Wilkerson, a top aide to former Secretary of State Colin Powell, made the revelations in a signed declaration to support a lawsuit filed by a Guantanamo detainee Adel Hassan Hamad. Hamad, a Sudanese man who was held at Guantanamo Bay from March 2003 until December 2007, claims that he was tortured by US agents while in custody and yesterday filed a damage dction against a list of American officials. According to Wilkerson, both Cheney and Rumsfeld knew that the majority of the initial 742 detainees sent to Guantanamo in 2002 were innocent but believed that it was “politically impossible” to let them walk free. TimesOnline: George W. Bush 'knew Guantánamo prisoners were innocent'.
