Report: US Wrongfully Imprisoned Many in Overseas Prisons

Meanwhile, a major investigation by the McClatchy newspapers has concluded the US has wrongfully imprisoned perhaps hundreds of men in overseas prisons, including Guantanamo, on the basis of flimsy or fabricated evidence, old personal scores or bounty payments. McClatchy interviewed sixty-six former prisoners. About half had no ties to militant groups or activities. Only seven had connections to the leadership of al-Qaeda.
