| |
| − | Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].

| |
| − | ===Confusion over the difference between a Tribunal and a Court of law===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sebaii expressed confusion over the difference between a Tribunal and a court of law.
| |
| − | And continued to express confusion over the Tribunal procedure throughout the session.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Witness requests===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sebaii requested two witnesses.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Sebaii requested a statement from the Saudi Minister of the Interior confirming that he was a Saudi Police Officer, and he requested a statement from the Saudi ambassador to Sudan, confirming he was working there as a humanitarian volunteer.
| |
| − | The Tribunal's President had ruled that these witnesses were not relevant. He ruled that Sebaii's previous employment was not relevant.
| |
| − | Sebaii asked, if his activities in 1996 were not relevant, why was the fourth allegation against him that he was suspected of fighting in Bosnia in 1996.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | The Tribunal's President admitted they couldn't explain the presence of the allegation of his activities in 1996, and the Tribunal would ignore it.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Testimony===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Sebai disputed the allegation that he was captured while he crossed the border. He had fled to Pakistan to escape anti-Arab retribution. He had already crossed into Pakistan, and was seeking help contacting the Saudi embassy. When Pakistani soldiers appeared in the village where he had spent the night, he prompty turned himself in to them.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Sebai denied working for al Haramain. He said he donated twenty days volunteering for them. So far as he knew they were a legitimate charity, that worked on legitimate humanitarian purposes. Al Sebai pointed out to the Tribunal that he had requested documentation to confirm that the twenty days he volunteered helping refugees after a flood, in Sudan, was a purely humanitarian activity, and this documentation was part of what his Tribunal’s President had ruled “irrelevantâ€.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Sebai’s Personal Representative pointed out that during 1996/1997, when Al Sebai volunteered his twenty days aiding flood victims, al Haramain had not yet fallen under any suspicion of being subverted by terrorist sympathizers.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Although the Tribunal’s President decided to rule out the allegation that he was captured in Bosnia, Al Sebai’s Personal Representative pointed out that Al Sebai was serving as a Police officer in Saudi Arabia, at the time he was alleged to have been captured in Bosnia, and that this could be document through his Police personnel records.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Sebai pointed out that he was a decorated veteran of the Gulf War.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Sebai said that he had seen his passport a year prior to his Tribunal. Al Sebai’s Personal Representative drew the Tribunal’s attention to Exhibit D-B, a report from the evidence room confirming that his ticket and passport confirmed Al Sebai’s account of his travel.

| |
| − | It was Frum who coined the term "[[Axis of evil]]" for use in a speech he wrote for Bush.
| |
| − | Al Sebaii's transcript was one of the nine Frum briefly summarized.
| |
| − | His comment on Al Sebaii was:
| |
| − | {{quotation|“A Saudi detainee, confronted with evidence that he had traveled to Bosnia in the mid-1990s, then to Sudan, then to Afghanistan, explained that he had devoted himself exclusively to construction of mosques. But had his travel not been paid by al Haramain, a well-known front group for al Qaida? He knew nothing about that, 'If al Haramain is a terrorist organization, why is it my problem? Am I guilty if they are terrorists?'â€}}

It is difficult to believe the members of Congress intend to enact a law in which the few prisoners who are deemed by the government to be truly the "worst of the worst" will be charged and tried by the commissions, and accorded the full panoply of rights specified in the legislation creating the military commissions. Yet those rights have not been - and will not be - made available to any of the hundreds of other prisoners, including many whom we believe to have been innocent bystanders, captured and sold five years ago by the Northern Alliance to our government."}}

| |
| − |
| |
| − | Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ==Administrative Review Board hearings==
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual [[Administrative Review Board]] hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.

| |
| − | Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.
| |

| |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].
| |
| − |
| |
| − | To comply with a [[Freedom of Information Act]] request, during the winter and spring of 2005, the Department of Defense released 507 memoranda. Those 507 memoranda each contained the allegations against a single detainee, prepared for their Combatant Status Review Tribunals. The detainee's name and ID numbers were redacted from all but one of the memoranda. However 169 of the memoranda had the detainee's ID hand-written on the top right hand of the first page corner. When the Department of Defense complied with a [[court order]], and released official lists of the detainee's names and ID numbers it was possible to identify who those 169 were written about. Abdul Rahman Mohamed Saleh Naser was one of those 169 detainees.<ref name=SummaryOfEvidence441>

| |

| − | Initially the [[George W. Bush|Bush]] [[United States President|Presidency]] asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush Presidency's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].

| − | Initially the Bush administration asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct a [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush administration's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].

| |
| − | ===Opening statement===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Anazi acknowledged traveling to Afghanistan. He said he traveled to Pakistan, as a tourist, and as one of a group of [[Tablighi Jamaat]] pilgrims. He said he not originally intended to go to Afghanistan at all. But this group decided to enter the Afghanistan border area to help the local Afghans learn how other people practiced Islam. They traveled to Afghanistan prior to the attack of [[September 11, 2001]], but were not able to cross the border before the American bombings started. Many of his fellow pilgrims were killed during the bombing in which he was injured.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Anazi denied participating in any hostilities. In response to the allegation that he participated in military operations, he said:
| |
| − | :"''This is simply not true; I never fought in the Tora Bora region or anywhere else in Afghanistan for that matter. I have no expertise in military weapons or tactics. In fact, I dislike the military altogether and I have no desire to join. I dislike fighting in general.''"
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Anazi denied being captured by coalition forces. He said that he sought out American or coalition soldiers to whom he could surrender, so he wouldn't be killed by accident.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Testimony===
| |
| − | In response to questioning from the Tribunal's officers:
| |
| − | *Al Anazi denied receiving military training in Afghanistan or Pakistan.
| |
| − | *Al Anazi denied traveling to Afghanistan to engage in [[Jihad]].
| |
| − | *When Al Anazi was asked why decided to travel with the Tablighi Jamaat teachers he responded:
| |
| − | *:"''For tourism and to learn about the Muslim religion. Also, I am ill with a term called magic and demons or magic and the devil. When someone from Jamaat al Tibliq would stand over me and read from the [[Koran]], the demon would be cast out.''"
| |
| − | *Al Anazi said he could not explain how his name would end up on an al Qaeda list.
| |
| − | *When asked to describe the "Zubair Center" Al Anazi explained that his interrogators must have misunderstood him. Zubair was not the name of a place. It was the name of the leader of his group of Tablighi Jamaat pilgrims.
| |
| − | *Al Anazi told his Tribunal that no one in his group had ever carried any weapons.
| |
| − | *Al Anazi said he had not planned to join in an Tablighi pilgrimage when he first traveled to Pakistan. He met them in a Mosque, was impressed by their scholarship, and decided to join them when they left the mosque a few days later.
| |
| − | *Al Anazi said that he had his passport with him when he surrendered. He told his tribunal that the Afghans he surrendered to stole his passport, his wallet, his watch, even his shoes.
| |
| − | *Al Anazi replied that he worked as a bus driver in Saudi Arabia, and he paid for his travels out of his savings.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | ===Witnesses===
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Al Anazi had wanted to call other detainees as witnesses. But he couldn't because he didn't know their full names.

Aft the same time, I was kidnapped by either an Afghani or a Pakistani. They thought they hit the jackpot when they sold me as an Arab person because they were poor people. They kidnapped and took me to Afghanistan and entered Afghanistan with me. When I entered Afghanistan, they put me in jail for about a month. There were some other prisoners in that prison. Some of the prisoners were Pakistani and others were Arabs. The Afghanis hit me many times and asked me to say and admit that I was with the prisoners there in that prison and that we were from Tora Bora. The tortures there were so big. We were tortured during the day, in the evening, and in the afternoon. You almost have to say that you are Usama bin Laden so they would stop torturing you.

| − | Initially the [[George W. Bush|Bush]] [[United States President|Presidency]] asserted that they could withhold all the protections of the [[Geneva Conventions]] to captives from [[the war on terror]]. This policy was challenged before the Judicial branch. Critics argued that the USA could not evade its obligation to conduct [[competent tribunal]]s to determine whether captives are, or are not, entitled to the protections of [[prisoner of war]] status.
| |
| − |
| |
| − | Subsequently the [[United States Department of Defense|Department of Defense]] instituted the [[Combatant Status Review Tribunal]]s. The Tribunals, however, were not authorized to determine whether the captives were ''lawful combatants'' -- rather they were merely empowered to make a recommendation as to whether the captive had previously been correctly determined to match the Bush Presidency's definition of an [[enemy combatant]].

| − | Detainees who were determined to have been properly classified as "enemy combatants" were scheduled to have their dossier reviewed at annual [[Administrative Review Board]] hearings. The Administrative Review Boards weren't authorized to review whether a detainee qualified for POW status, and they weren't authorized to review whether a detainee should have been classified as an "enemy combatant".
| |
| − |
| |
| − | They were authorized to consider whether a detainee should continue to be detained by the United States, because they continued to pose a threat -- or whether they could safely be repatriated to the custody of their home country, or whether they could be set free.
