A former detainee at Guantánamo Bay has become the Taliban’s chief operations officer in southern Afghanistan. The former detainee, Abdullah Ghulam Rasoul, was captured in Afghanistan in December of 2001 and transferred to Afghanistan six years later in December of 2007. His internment serial number (ISN) at Guantánamo was 8, a comparatively low number indicating that he was most likely one of the first detainees transferred from Afghanistan to Guantánamo after the facility was opened in 2002.
I see the ACLU’s logic on these detainees. By rights, we should have taken all the German, Italian, and Japanese POWs we captured during World War II and brought them back to the U.S. for habeas corpus proceedings in the Federal courts.
Don’t we owe these people, or their families, reparations? };>)
