Ex-Bush admin official: Many at Gitmo are innocent
"Many detainees locked up at Guantanamo were innocent men swept up by U.S. forces unable to distinguish enemies from noncombatants, a former Bush administration official said Thursday. 'There are still innocent people there,' Lawrence B. Wilkerson, a Republican who was chief of staff to then-Secretary of State Colin Powell, told The Associated Press. 'Some have been there six or seven years.'"
