Who are the "worst of the worst", those 500 detainees kept in Guantanamo? Two of their lawyers, Mark and Joshua Denbeaux, aided by students of Seton University School of Law, have attempted to compile their profile, based on the official information provided about 517 of them.
Only 8% turned out to be Al Qaida fighters, by the Pentagon's own data. Only 5% have been captured by the United States forces. Most of them were delivered to the US by the Pakistani government, the Northern Alliance, or bounty hunters. 55% have not committed any hostile acts.
How were some of those "enemy combatants" spotted? Amongst the tell-tale signs cited: they stayed at guest houses, and/or they wore olive drab clothing, and/or they possessed a Kalashnikov. Or a Casio watch. Bad taste can be deadly.
