Email from JoAnn J. Dolan to Brian H. Leventhal re: CBS News Report on Guantanamo Bay Detainee Release
Oct. 13, 2002 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 3917 
    
    
      Email from JoAnn Dolan to Brian Leventhal concerning a CBS Evening News segment that highlighted the release of a 90 year-old Afghani man being released from detention at Guantanamo. The report stated that the man was mistakenly pick up during a clash in Afghanistan and sent to Guantanamo under suspicion of being a Taliban fighter. His release was considered a positive thing, but the segment suggested that there are more innocent men being detained at Guantanamo and this was a rare release based on actual innocence. The report stated “In fact, Guantanamo Bay detention camp appears to host a significant number of people who have no reason to be there.”
