How else could anyone construe it?

That pixies were training terrorists at Salman Pak for the benefit of unicorns. No?

However, he [Gen Brooks] said information gleaned from foreign fighters before the raid left no doubt that the site was used for training terrorists

What that says is the captured foreign fighters said that there was terrorist training at Salman Pak.

"The nature of the work being done by some of those people that we captured, their inferences to the type of training they received, all these things give us the impression that there was terrorist training that was conducted at Salman Pak,

They've got nothing else other than what the foreign fighters said was going on. Nothing else to support that there were terrorists

"We found some tanks and destroyed them. We found some armored personnel carriers and destroyed them, in small numbers," he said. " We destroyed some buildings that were used for command and control, and some other buildings that were used for morale and welfare. We destroyed the complex.

You could notice that tank and armored personnel carries are not typical terrorist weapons.
