[Tim Golden, New York Times Reporter] Not long after Dilawar was killed, we learned that the Afghan guerilla commander, whose men had arrested Dilawar and the others, had in fact been detained by the Americans himself.
' And it turned out that he was rocketing their base, and then picking up innocent Afghans and turning them over to the Americans. Essentially to try and ingratiate himself with U.S. forces.
The three passengers were sent to Guantanamo. And they didn't get out until March of 2004, which was 15 months after they had been captured riding in the taxi.
It's hard to understand what reason the Americans would have had to send these guys on ...
when they had quite clearly concluded that Dilawar, at least, was an innocent man when he was killed. It certainly makes you wonder about whether they just sent these guys on to cover their butts.
