MI5 and Pentagon Documents on Two Detainees

[AGENDA21]

The following transcripts are from the Combatant Status Review Tribunals at Guantanamo Bay for Jamil el Banna and Bisher al Rawi. The unredacted documents were released March 3 by the U.S. Department of Defense in response to a Freedom of Information Act lawsuit filed by the Associated Press seeking records on detainees in Guantanamo Bay.

El Banna and al Rawi were both recruited by MI5 as informants and later allegedly taken by the CIA to Afghanistan and then to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Both remain in detention in Guantanamo and have been classified as enemy combatants. Their lawyers say there is no evidence that either man posed a security risk or threat to the United States or Britain.
