DOS Cable re: Guidance and Talking Points to Foreign Governments Concerning Their Citizens Detained at Guantanamo, January 14, 2002
Jan. 14, 2002 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 3573
State Department cable with talking points concerning non-Afghani detainees picked-up on the battlefield of Afghanistan. The cable describes how the US intends to treat the legal status and prosecution of the detainees and appears to give direction to DOS personnel on discussing with other governments how their citizens could be sent to their home country to face justice for their terrorist activities. It implies that if the home country can prosecute their own citizens that that would be acceptable to the US.
