Information from Guantanamo has derailed attacks during the Athens Olympics

From The Chicago Tribune

But in intelligence briefings given here to the Tribune last week, the Tribune learned that recent information from Guantanamo has derailed plans for attacks during the Athens Olympics next month and possibly forestalled at least a dozen attacks elsewhere.[...]

"They have been consistently getting very valuable intelligence at Guantanamo," said Bob Newman, a former military intelligence officer and interrogation expert. Newman, now a Denver talk show host, said he speaks regularly with those involved in gathering intelligence at Guantanamo.

"If the American people only knew some of it, they would fight to keep Guantanamo as closed as possible," he said.


Interesting.

As the government braces for details about Guantanamo to be made public, the Pentagon is considering moving the detainees it considers of highest value elsewhere.

It's likely that Bagram air base in Afghanistan will soon become the hub of intelligence activities rather than Guantanamo, officials here predict.


Even more interesting.
