… in November 2001, Mr. Khadr was taken prisoner by the Northern Alliance. He was then turned over to American forces, who investigated him and eventually hired him as an undercover CIA informer. As such he was planted, in the early months of 2003, as an “enemy combatant” in Guantánamo, where Mr. Khadr’s brother Omar was being held.
…
Although the CIA has declined to comment on Mr. Khadr, the self-described CIA asset did submit to a polygraph examination in which he was asked about his work for U.S. intelligence, being paid for it and being flown on a small jet to Bosnia for his mission there. On all major aspects of his story, Abdurahman passed the polygraph (see Frontline’s editor’s note here). Further confirmation of Mr. Khadr’s story comes from The New York Times, which has reported that the broad outlines of Mr. Khadr’s story has been confirmed by an unnamed American official (see here).

Very strange story, but one thing he says is that only about 10% of those at GITMO were al-Qaeda or likely to work with al-Qaeda and supposedly he passed that info on, up channel. Another weird aspect is that someone bought movie rights to his story and supposedly a script is being written.

I don’t recall Cheney’s the reaction to the Jefferson raid. Did he protect Jefferson’s office from being raided by the FBI? That sure wouldn’t surprise me.

Is Edmonds still on a gag order by Congress?

Makes you wonder how many members of Congress were being picked up.

Also makes you revisit Cheney’s reaction to the Jefferson raid.

The Gang of Four (or Eight) rolled over and played patriotic. That’s what Congress always does.
