Two Gitmo detainees have been sent to Ghana.

Two Yemeni detainees, Mahmud Umar Muhammad Bin Atef and Khalid Muhammad Salih al-Dhuby, have been transferred from Guantanamo Bay to Ghana, the Pentagon said Wednesday. There are now 105 detainees at the U.S. military prison in Cuba.

Pentagon spokesman Commander Gary Ross told Agence France-Presse that Atef and Dhuby are the first detainees to be sent anywhere in sub-Saharan Africa…

According to their files, Atef was an admitted member of the Taliban, and fought with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan. Dhuby, meanwhile, was a “probable” member of Al-Qaeda who “probably” fought against coalition forces.

    “According to their files, Atef was an admitted member of the Taliban, and fought with Osama bin Laden in Afghanistan.” and we’re certain that his admission had absolutely NOTHING to do with being tortured right? “Dhuby, meanwhile, was a “probable” member of Al-Qaeda who “probably” fought against coalition forces.” and we’re sure that after all the torture he likely received, still never confessed, but, he’s labeled ‘probably’ a member and stayed imprisoned for HOW fk’n long?
