The boys from Bagram called the guys in Guantanamo and asked for a favor.
Could you work the name Aafia Siddiqui into your interrogations. We can't break her and if we don't get something on her, the legal, diplomatic, and public relations complications will be severe.
The guys in Guantanamo told the boys from Bagram not to worry, with our enhanced interrogation techniques, we can prove anything here.
And this is how Aafia Siddiqui wound up featured in the most recent Wikileaks disclosures. The same old stories we have been reading about for almost a decade, told through the smoke of a Cuban cigar. While witnesses have identified her as Prisoner 650 in Bagram, nameless scriveners of silence etched a different story for public consumption.
Before you inhale that Cuban cigar smoke, here is a part of the story that hasn't made the headlines:
"U.S. military intelligence assess ing the threat of nearly 800 men held at Guantanamo in many cases used information from a small group of captives whose accounts now appear to be questionable."
