Guantanamo: The Definitive Prisoner List (Updated for 2010) | Andy Worthington
Worthington has updated his invaluable list of Guantanamo prisoners, including those released. He shows that most were arrested arbitrarily and were probably innocent.
He has also recently argued against the anti-Yemen hysteria of recent weeks being used as a pretext for not releasing dozens of Yemenis against whom no case for guilt could be built by prosecutors.
Another antidote to Yemen Hysteria: Waq al-Waq.

Jordanian intelligence thought he had been persuaded to support US and Jordanian efforts against al-Qaida.

A suicide bomber who killed eight people at a CIA base in Afghanistan was an Al-Qaeda triple agent who duped Western intelligence services for months before turning on his handlers
He ran a blog, link to abudujanakharasani.maktoobblog.com
on which he posted calls for jihad – holy war – and martyrdom, that the Jordanian authorities presumably regarded as cover for the role of double agent.
