...Major General Geoffrey Miller--commandant at Guant??namo Bay and a top adviser on interrogations at Abu Ghraib-- do wrong? No, says a new report by Lieut. General Stanley Green, the Army Inspector General (IG), that TIME obtained last week. An investigation recommended last summer that Miller be reprimanded for poor oversight of a high-value prisoner at Gitmo. But Green told TIME that the evidence is not there to back charges against Miller of dereliction and lying to Congress about his role in the scandal. The report concludes that at Gitmo Miller was unaware a canine had been used...
...counterterrorism officials to be the so-called 20th hijacker, the would-be fifth terrorist on the flight that crashed in a Pennsylvania field on 9/11. In a June 20, 2005, cover story, TIME chronicled part of the interrogation of al-Qahtani, based on a highly classified log kept at Guant??namo over a 50-day period in the winter of 2002-03. The 84-page log, available in full on TIME.com showed U.S. interrogators using a wide range of tactics to get him to talk, including sleep deprivation, exposure to cold, forced standing, denial of bathroom breaks, denial of clothing...
Having spent more than 30 hours in December and January speaking through an interpreter with al-Qahtani at Guant??namo, Gutierrez, the first person to report publicly on his mind-set since his story broke, says he now recants his previous incriminating statements, claiming they were extracted under extreme duress. That may not be surprising. Nor was Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman's response: that "the al-Qaeda training manual specifically encourages those captured to make false claims of abuse." But the more that becomes known about the al-Qahtani case--a unique window into the otherwise secretive practices at Guant?...
...Pentagon report in July 2005 found that al-Qahtani had been subjected to treatment that was--though not a violation of Defense Department policy-- cumulatively "abusive and degrading." It specifically recommended that the commandant of Guant??namo, Major General Geoffrey Miller, be reprimanded for failing to adequately monitor the interrogation of a high-value detainee, believed to be al-Qahtani. But Miller's superior, Southern Command Commander General Bantz Craddock, decided against the reprimand. Congress last December passed a provision, sponsored by Senator John McCain of Arizona, that bars U.S. personnel from engaging in "cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment...
...his lawyer, he is a broken man. In her first meetings with al-Qahtani, says Gutierrez, his mind wandered, and he engaged in rambling monologues. She found him fearful and at times disoriented. Her descriptions called to mind reports by FBI agents who said al-Qahtani, upon arriving at Guant??namo in 2002, resisted interrogation and so was subjected to intimidation by a military dog and "intense isolation over three months" that led to "behavior consistent with extreme psychological trauma (talking to non-existent people, reporting hearing voices, crouching in a cell covered with a sheet for hours...
