Hi arcticredriver,
I hadn’t noticed that. Thanks for being so perceptive, and so diligent at analyzing the Pentagon’s documents. I’m sure Barry Wingard will also find this interesting.

Andy, forgive me for replying months after you wrote this excellent article.

Do you know whether Lieutenant Colonel Wingard noticed how closely the allegations Faiz al Kandari faced were to allegations his country-man Abdullah Kamel Al Kandari faced?

I am sure the same so-called “evidence” was used to justify the detention of the these two men, even when those allegations should only have been levelled, at most, at a single individual. I am sure the allegations these men faced that their names were found on a suspicious list showed that all the Guantanamo analysts looked for was that the lists contained “al Kandari”. If Osama bin Laden really did have a close friend and advisor named “al Kandari” he was most likely a third individual who either remains at large or who was killed during the bombing of Tora Bora.

Hi Coleen,
Thanks for the message. I think I’d like to ask her what she knew, as National Security Advisor, about the establishment of the CIA’s secret detention program back in September 2001, when, as the ACLU discovered in 2007, President Bush sent a 12-page “notification memorandum” to the National Security Council “regarding a ‘clandesine intelligence activity.’”

Condeleezza Rice is coming to Minnesota on November 8th. She is apparently attempting to cash in on her notorious fame as Bush’s top female confidante. See http://seminal.firedoglake.com/diary/9449 Although the exact financial arrangement between her and the Synagogue who invited her is not yet known, they are selling the chance to be in her presence for $12,500.00 for a table of ten: http://www.bethelsynagogue.org/tickets/.

So we’re planning a respectful anti-torture rally outside Condi’s appearance on November 8.

We are asking people: If you had the $1000 to go inside for Condi’s “unscripted Q and A” what would be the one question you would most want to ask her?

If you have one, let me know. I’m your FB friend and we will soon have an event page up there.
