Complaints from the detainees' attorneys
- Many of the lawyers have repeated claims that their clients have been abused, and are receiving inhumane treatment.
- Lawyers have reported that it was hard to establish trust with their clients, because:
- Guantanamo guards had warned them that the lawyers were either Jews or homosexuals.
- Guantanamo interrogators had previously used the interrogation technique "false flagFalse flagFalse flag operations are covert operations designed to deceive the public in such a way that the operations appear as though they are being carried out by other entities. The name is derived from the military concept of flying false colors; that is flying the flag of a country other than one's own...
", and represented themselves as their lawyers, in attempts to get the captives to divulge information they had withheld during their interrogations.
- Lawyers reported that the DoD had interfered with their ability to meet with their clients, telling them that they weren't spelling their names correctly.
- Lawyers reported that the DoD interfered with their ability to meet with their clients by both refusing to provide a government translator, and raising bogus national security concerns about the translators they proposed.
- The body that reviewed their notes, before they were able to consult them, was arbitrarily classifying their notes, so they couldn't consult them.
