Feb. 14, 2002 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 3582 
    
    
      This State Department cable provides talking points concerning informing foreign governments about the transfer of their citizens/nationals to Guantanamo after they were picked-up on the battle field of Afghanistan. It  states that the U.S. Government is “evaluating the possibility of returning certain individuals to their country of nationality for further legal action” “We would hope that you would be able to prosecute vigorously all of your nationals who have aided al-Qaida terrorists”. The detainee’s government is also being asked “Do you have any information from your own sources that connects these persons with al-Qaida or the Taliban? And “What types of punishments are available under your law for offenses that have been or might be brought against these persons in your country?”
