From MSNBC.com:An Army officer with a key role in the U.S. military hearings at Guantanamo
Bay says they relied on vague and incomplete intelligence and were pressured to declare detainees “enemy combatants,” often without any specific evidence.
His affidavit, released Friday, is the first criticism by a member of the military panels that determine whether detainees will continue to be held.
Lt. Col. Stephen Abraham, a 26-year veteran of military intelligence who is an Army reserve officer and a California lawyer, said military prosecutors were provided with only “generic” material that didn’t hold up to the most basic legal challenges.
..."What were purported to be specific statements of fact lacked even the most fundamental earmarks of objectively credible evidence."
