Guantanamo inmates' importance overstated

I'm not surprised. The Great Unravelling continues across all fronts.

NYT quoted at MSNBC:

"Bush administration and U.S. military officials have repeatedly exaggerated the intelligence value of detainees at Guantanamo Bay military prison in Cuba as well as the danger they pose, it was reported Monday.

Contrary to the repeated assertions of senior administration officials, none of the detainees at the U.S. naval base in Cuba ranked as leaders or senior operatives of al-Qaida, The New York Times reported, citing interviews with high-level military, intelligence and law-enforcement officials in the United States, Europe and the Middle East."
