The first wave of detainees at the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, created their own internal organizational structure to maintain morale, resist interrogation and recruit members, adhering to instructions in a 10-year-old al-Qaeda training manual, according to a classified report by analysts in the CIA's Counterterrorism Center.
"Authorities at GTMO [Guantanamo] noted that detainees while at Camp X-Ray [the initial holding facility] created this structure and took on these roles," according to the August 2002 report, which was first made public last week on the Web site the Smoking Gun...
Rantingprofs says:
"At what point are people going to realize that some documents are classified, not because this particular administration has a creepy penchant for secrecy, and not because it's trying to cover up embarrassing or illegal activity, but because some things have to be kept secret in any war?"
My reply to that question, it won't REALLY stop till people stop leaking, or we find and prosecute people who leak secrets. Secondly, most of these sites do what they do to increase sales or traffic, yeah there is some ideology involved but for the most part it's pure pathetic selfish self promotion. There are a lot of people that for whatever reason don't or won't realize that there are things bigger than themselves...and that's what's really sad about this.
