“Latest Gitmo releasee: Al-Qaeda operative accused of taking part in anthrax plot”
SNIPPET: “”U.S. Decides to Release Detainee at Guantánamo,” by William Glaberson for the New York Times, March 31:
The Justice Department announced Monday that the administration had decided to release a detainee at the prison at Guantánamo Bay, a Yemeni doctor who the Bush administration once claimed had taken part in an anthrax program of Al Qaeda.
The government had backed away from the anthrax accusations but had continued to hold the detainee, Dr. Ayman Saeed Abdullah Batarfi, asserting that he had worked for a charity that had terrorist ties and that he had met with Osama bin Laden.”
