George W. Bush 'knew Guantánamo prisoners were innocent'

E-mail Print PDF

George W. Bush, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld covered up that hundreds of innocent men were sent to the Guantánamo Bay prison camp because they feared that releasing them would harm the push for war in Iraq and the broader War on Terror, according to a new document obtained by The Times.

The accusations were made by Lawrence Wilkerson, a top aide to Colin Powell, the former Republican Secretary of State, in a signed declaration to support a lawsuit filed by a Guantánamo detainee. It is the first time that such allegations have been made by a senior member of the Bush Administration.

Colonel Wilkerson, who was General Powell’s chief of staff when he ran the State Department, was most critical of Mr Cheney and Mr Rumsfeld. He claimed that the former Vice-President and Defence Secretary knew that the majority of the initial 742 detainees sent to Guantánamo in 2002 were innocent but believed that it was “politically impossible to release them”.

TVNL Comment: We say again, this is part of the 9/11 conspiracy. People were tortured into falsely confessing involvement in the events of 9/11. This was part of the false flag operation. Many confessions were signed without being read. The prisoners were threatened or were told that their families would be harmed unless they signed them. This is just the latest in a long line of evidence that shows that our analysis is accurate.
