Ahmed al Halabi

This guy was actually acquitted of the charges but was still horribly abused inside the prison: Captain James Yee

Mohammed Hashim

Omar Ahmed Khadr

I mean these are just a few. This wasn't even hard to look up. Did you not expect that there would be actual spies in one of the US terrorist torture camps?

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

zero for four, what else ya got?

Ahmed al Halabi

Accused of spying on gitmo. Was imprisoned in Florida, IIRC

Captain James Yee

Also accused of spying on gitmo. Imprisoned in South Carolina for a time.

Mohammed Hashim

Charged, imprisoned, and released within a year.

Omar Ahmed Khadr

not spy. Either terrorist or irregular fighter, take your pick.

[–] dastanktal@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

hurr durr none of these were spies. They were only accused of spying

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works -1 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

... and weren't imprisoned in Gitmo

Ugh.

  • Omar Khadr: Pled guilty to spying in Canada in 2010 was held in gitmo Bay before being transferred to Canada

Seriously I don't know why I'm I'm even dignifying this with a response because we both know that they hold people there that they accuse of being terrorist or Spies of terrorists without any due process and so we don't know their names typically and we don't know why they're in there other than what the US government will tell us which isn't much.

We also have multiple officials from that time admitting that the president and most the administration from that time knew that most of the people put in gitmo Bay were innocent And kept there because it was politically expedient. And that's just according to Wikipedia.

Still it's not a far stretch to imagine that United States has imprisoned foreign spies in places like gitmo Bay without informing the public.

[–] rc__buggy@sh.itjust.works -2 points 7 hours ago

was.

I asked which spies are in gitmo. There aren't any. There hasn't been a policy of regularly putting spies in gitmo.

We treat spies like criminals and put them in federal prison if found guilty. You act like they all got transferred from the federal system TO gitmo.
