Andy Worthington: An Archive of Guantánamo Articles and Other Writing – Part 15, July to December 2013

Please support my work!

Over eight years ago, in March 2006, I began researching and writing about the Bush administration’s “war on terror” prison at Guantánamo and the 779 men (and boys) held there since the prison opened in January 2002. Initially, I spent 14 months researching and writing my book The Guantánamo Files, based, largely, on 8,000 pages of documents publicly released by the Pentagon in the spring of 2006, and, since May 2007, I have continued to write about the men held there, on an almost daily basis, as an independent investigative journalist — for 20 months under President Bush, and, shockingly, for what is now five and a half years under President Obama.

My mission, as it has been since my research first revealed the scale of the injustice at Guantánamo, continues to revolve around four main aims — to humanize the prisoners by telling their stories; to expose the many lies told about them to supposedly justify their detention; to push for the prison’s closure and the absolute repudiation of indefinite detention without charge or trial as US policy; and to call for those who initiated, implemented and supported indefinite detention and torture to be held accountable for their actions.

As I highlight every three months through my quarterly fundraising appeals, I have undertaken the lion’s share of this work as a reader-supported journalist and activist, so if you can support my work please click on the “Donate” button above to donate via PayPal.

In January 2010, I began to put together chronological lists of all my articles, in the hope that doing so would make it as easy as possible for readers and researchers to navigate my work — the 2,238 articles I have published in the last seven years.

This 15th list, covering July to December 2013, marked a period of hope for campaigners, after the men still held embarked on a prison-wide hunger strike to remind the world of the ongoing injustice of Guantánamo, and put pressure on President Obama to revisit his failed promise to close the prison and to resume releasing prisoners, which he had largely stopped doing since the fall of 2010 when Congress raised obstacles that he was unwilling to overcome, even though he had the means to do so.

In the period from October 2010 to July 2013, just five men were freed from Guantánamo, even though, throughout that period, over half the men still held had been cleared for release in January 2010 by the high-level, inter-agency Guantánamo Review Task Force that President Obama established shortly after taking office in 2009.

However, as a result of the hunger strike, President Obama delivered a major speech on national security issues in which he promised to appoint two new envoys to deal with the closure of Guantánamo, and also promised to resume releasing prisoners, and as a result, between August and December, he released eleven men from the prison (see here, here, here, here and here).

Six more men have been freed in the last six months, but there are, sadly, no grounds for those who oppose the existence of Guantánamo to sit back and relax, as the release of prisoners has once more ground to a halt, and renewed action is required to put pressure on the administration.

Throughout the period covered by this list, as I described it when I published the previous list, I continued to be “involved in campaigning to resist the age of austerity cynically introduced by the Tory-led government here in the UK, which is being used to wage a disgusting and disgraceful civil war against the poor, the unemployed and the disabled, and whose main aim being to almost entirely destroy the state provision of services.” Specifically, much of my attention was focused on the campaign to save Lewisham Hospital, my local hospital in south east London, and I’m very glad to note that the campaign was successful, providing hope for others working to save their local hospitals and the NHS in general.

As I always explain when I publish these lists, and as I most recently explained in the introduction to my Definitive Guantánamo Prisoner List (updated in March this year), I remain convinced, through detailed research, through comments from insiders with knowledge of Guantánamo, and, most recently, through an analysis of classified military documents released by WikiLeaks, that between 95 and 97 percent of the 779 men and boys imprisoned in total were either completely innocent people, seized as a result of dubious intelligence or sold for bounty payments, or Taliban foot soldiers, recruited to fight an inter-Muslim civil war that began long before the terrorist attacks of September 11, 2001, and that had nothing to do with al-Qaeda, Osama bin Laden or international terrorism.

The articles I wrote — and, on occasion, the photos I published — between July and December 2013 are listed below, separated into two categories: articles about Guantánamo, and articles about British politics. I hope you find the list useful.

  2. Andy Worthington says...

    I haven’t had anything to do with CAGE since the end of 2011, Lubna, and I missed what has been happening in recent months. However, Clive Stafford Smith of Reprieve just tweeted a link to a very good article by Peter Oborne in the Daily Telegraph about the harassment of CAGE, and I was shocked to hear about its bank accounts being closed down, and some of its key supporters being investigated: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/peteroborne/100279865/if-cage-has-broken-the-law-let-it-be-prosecuted-this-reeks-of-the-police-state/

    Andy Worthington I read the tweet and it’s SCARY!

  4. Andy Worthington says...

    Yes, I think it’s definitely troubling, Lubna, and of course the initial arrest of Moazzam Begg, which led to the intense focus on CAGE, is also problematical, as I’ve discussed before. I find it very troubling that, when Moazzam applied for bail, it was refused and there was a total media blackout on reporting anything at all about it – for reasons that have never been explained.

    I have found cage to be a very good source of information. We get information from many sources and they are all tempered by the various influences upon them. The official British view and the main stream media simply do not make any sense at all; unless looked upon from the point of view of Israel, or unethical business. They have imprisoned Moazzam Begg when he could have been a key figure in sorting out the current mess. Things will only improve after they have removed the criminals that called for the invasion of Iraq and committed crimes against humanity.

    Thank you, Malcolm. Very well put. Great to hear from you.

  13. Andy Worthington says...

    Thanks, Paul, Willy, Lubna and Debra. Yes, Paul, what’s happening here in the UK is indeed worrying. I was just thinking today about how the Tories seem to have relaunched Britain’s counter-terrorism policies as though the shame and disgrace of 2001-2010 under New Labour – but always with their support – had never happened. Just when we should be getting over the post-9/11 hysteria, we seem, instead, to be getting a relaunched “war on terror”.
    And Willy, thanks as ever for your constant support of my work, which is very much appreciated.
