Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

  • Crossing the Rubicon 2.Pdf
    PART IV EMPIRE AND DECLINE chapter26 THE RECORD little guy like me should never have had to write this book. A By the time the Kean Commission’s final report was released, a crucial prin- ciple of democratic government called “separation of powers” had quietly vanished. Nobody within the government seemed willing or able to defy the exec- utive’s mythical narrative of 9/11, even while the executive used the implications of that Big Lie to justify its every move. Massive war appropriations, the Patriot Acts, intelligence “reform,” Camp X-Ray at Guantanamo Bay, prison torture abroad, domestic roundups and detentions of Arabs and South Asians, and a hun- dred tangentially related usurpations of the powers Constitutionally reserved for the legislature and the judiciary — all were driven through by appeals to the offi- cial story of 9/11. It seems there are no independent voices of authority remaining outside the Empire’s control to challenge, temper or place limits on Imperial crimes and ambitions. There is only yet another Patrician seeking to replace Caesar on the throne and wear the Imperial purple. The Kean commission’s mandate The Kean Commission’s mandate was laid out in Public Law 107-306, signed by President Bush on November 27, 2002. SEC. 602. PURPOSES. The purposes of the Commission are to — (1) examine and report upon the facts and causes relating to the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, occurring at the World Trade Center in New York, New York, in Somerset County, Pennsylvania, and at the Pentagon in Virginia; (2) ascertain,
