October 3, 2003 -- WASHINGTON - The FBI is investigating whether a translator at the terrorist prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, gave extremist groups the names of al Qaeda operatives who are being exposed by detainees during their interrogations, it was revealed yesterday. Law-enforcement officials confirmed that authorities found the names of dozens of al Qaeda operatives, whose names surfaced in interrogations with the Guantanamo Bay detainees, on a computer disk carried by camp translator Ahmed Mehalba when he was arrested earlier this week.

If memory serves he was caught coming back from Egypt

And I'd still like to know why he was bringing the stuff back.

Maybe it's just wishful thinking, but one hopes there might be more here than meets the eye. It's certainly bad if information got out that we didn't want to get out, but even so I think it isn't all bad. Look at it this way: What generally happens to a mobster if his associates discover that he's on the FBI's shi'ite list, and might be picked up in the near future, to be held and questioned under duress?

Hmmm...I hadn't thought of that. Good point. I'll look at the silver lining :)
