Day 6: Finds there are no files for Guantanamo detainees

When the Obama administration delved into the Guantanamo legal cases to prepare for the shutdown, they find that there doesn’t seem to be any real case files about them anywhere.

President Obama’s plans to expeditiously determine the fates of about 245 terrorism suspects held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and quickly close the military prison there were set back last week when incoming legal and national security officials — barred until the inauguration from examining classified material on the detainees — discovered that there were no comprehensive case files on many of them.

    No files? WTF?

    Even the most ass-kissing lawyers in the Bush Administration must have warned the administration that case files are needed.

    @Paul – Yeah, one thinks so. I wonder if they actually thought this wouldn’t get out?
