How many Gitmo detainees traveled to Afghanistan to find a wife? A fair number, if you accept their cover stories at face value, something only a fool would do.
Abdul Rahman Abdul Abu Ghityh Sulayman (ISN # 223) claimed during his hearings at Gitmo that a recruiter in his native Yemen convinced him to travel to Afghanistan to find a wife and live in a house supplied by the Taliban. Earlier this week, a district judge rejected his petition for a writ of habeas corpus. As I’ve written before, the district judges’ rulings in habeas proceedings suffer from many deficiencies. But in this case the judge didn’t fall for Abdul Sulayman’s transparently absurd cover story.
