ANDY WORTHINGTON has generated a prisoner list for BAGRAM.

From the link:

Although I believe that I have had some success tracking down the stories of some of the 100 or so prisoners on the list who have been held at Bagram for between three and seven years, I have found few clues as to the identities of the majority of those listed, who, as mentioned above, were seized in the last two years. Most reports — by the US military or the media — of raids or skirmishes that led to the capture of those held have not furnished the names of those seized, and on the rare occasion that names have been provided it has tended to be because they are regarded as significant figures.

I have no idea whether the allegations against these men are true, but, more importantly, I have not failed to notice that the majority of the prisoners (often men identified by only one name) are clearly not significant figures at all, and my fear — which, I have no doubt, will be confirmed when more information emerges — is that many of them will be revealed to be victims of the same chaotic approach to the capture of prisoners that has done so much to lose the battle for the “hearts and minds” of the people of Afghanistan and Iraq for the last eight years, and which, with regard to the 218 prisoners seized in Afghanistan between 2001 and 2003 and sent to Guantánamo, I chronicled in The Guantánamo Files.

A clear sign that this is indeed the case came in August 2009, when Maj. Gen. Doug Stone, commissioned by Gen. David Petraeus to review detention policies in Afghanistan, produced a report in which he estimated that “as many as 400 of the 600 held at Bagram can be released,” explaining that “many of these men were swept up in raids” and “have little connection to the insurgency.”

If you have any further information about any of these men, please feel free to email me, and I will incorporate the information into the list.

Please help me kick so more DUers can see. TIA :hi:

Being the world's number 1 jailer isn't good enough for us? We must export our prison mania?

If the US had its way, we'd be going from Incarceration Nation to--dare I say it?--Prison Planet.

because it gets no coverage unlike Gitmo.

This is no way to conduct a foreign policy, a national security program, or a law enforcement effort.

The policy makers are 100% responsible for this.
