| Detainees sprout pre-trial intel tips | |
| 2003-08-11 | |
| From correspondents in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. EFL: TERRORIST suspects have become more compliant and are offering up many more important intelligence tips, says the US Army general who commands the prison where preparations are under way for expected military tribunals. In an exclusive interview, Major General Geoffrey Miller said that three-quarters of the 660 or so detainees have confessed to some involvement in terrorism. Many have turned on former friends and colleagues, he added.
Miller said detainees are giving up information in "incentive-based interrogations". Rewards include more recreation time, extra food rations to keep in their cells, or a move to the prison’s medium-security facility. "OK, that’s one hour in the hot tub for the training camp and two Snickers bars for your brother, the fund raiser." "We have a large number of detainees who have been very cooperative describing their actions, either terrorist actions or in support of terrorism — more than 75 per cent" of them, Miller said yesterday. Some tips have led to more arrests, others revealed terrorist recruiting techniques, he said. All tremble in fear at the thought of Club Gitmo. Bwahahahaha!! | |
