"We don't need no stinking data."

Everything I have read-and I have read a lot-leads me to believe they were captured during battle. Toward the end, in December 2001, we allowed a lot to surrender that we should have "black flagged." Nobody walked down a Kabul street randomly picking up people.

They were then herded into camps and prisons, interrogated and sorted. Some were killed by the Northern Alliance troops. [they loaded a lot into drop-off bodies and left them to die.] Some were let go in Afghanistan. Some were water boarded at CIA facilities in Afghanistan. Then-big mistake-a lot were flown to Git-mo. The ones that were not native Afghans were definitely Al Qaeda types, and should have been tribunaled and executed there.

What did you expect? They were going to be treated like someone arrested for a crime in this country? With clerks and fixed procedures? Get real. This was "Fog of War." They were treated better than they should have been.
