Judging by some of the headlines, you’d think that the Gitmo detainee who pled guilty before a military commission today was merely a chef for Osama bin Laden. A BBC headline reads: “Bin Laden chef pleads guilty at Guantanamo Bay trial.” Another headline, from Reuters, is in the same vein: “Bin Laden’s cook pleads guilty at Guantanamo.”

The text from both articles provides a bit more context about the detainee in question, Ibrahim Ahmed Mahmoud al Qosi. Still, the articles fall well short of conveying to readers who al Qosi is, exactly.
