The unredacted Guantanamo files show clearly \u00a0that the trail to Abbottabad was known to the US intelligence services at least since 2005, when al-Libi, another Abbottabad dweller, was captured.<\/span><\/p>\n Timing is everything. The US President announced killing of Osama bin Laden just as Wikileaks completed its publication of Guantanamo files. Was it coincidence? If not, what was the connection?<\/span><\/p>\n An answer to this question is directly connected with the cross and double cross accusations exchanged in the murky world where the intelligence services meet mainstream media.<\/span><\/p>\n Publication of the US secret papers, the Guantanamo Files, was done almost simultaneously by two competing media groups.<\/span><\/p>\n The Guardian said of the files: \u201cThey were obtained by the New York Times<\/em>, who shared them with the Guardian<\/em>, which is publishing extracts today, having redacted information which might identify informants. <\/span>The New York Times says<\/span><\/strong><\/a> the files were made available to it not by Wikileaks, but “by another source on the condition of anonymity”.<\/span><\/p>\n Ha’aretz<\/em> made more of it: \u201cA few media outlets, including The New York Times, the Guardian and Haaretz, obtained the documents from an independent source without the help of WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange, who is under house arrest in Britain awaiting his appeal not to be extradited to Sweden, where he faces charges of rape and sexual assault.\u201d The Guardian<\/em>\u2019s David Leigh twitted \u201cdouble-crossing Assange!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Now we\u2019ll give you the story behind the story: who crossed and double crossed whom, which information was redacted and how did it lead to OBL?<\/span><\/p>\n In the beginning, the source was one; allegedly Private First Class Manning or whoever it was who got it and transferred to the Wikileaks<\/em> of Julian Assange. The entire file is still far from being published \u2013 a big part of it was encrypted and uploaded as Julian Assange\u2019s Insurance file. Assange published two tranches of that: the <\/span>War Diary: Afghanistan War Logs<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and <\/span>War Diary: Iraq War Logs<\/span><\/strong><\/a>. He prepared publication of the third tranche: a huge collection of the State Department cables (<\/span>Cablegate: 250,000 US Embassy Diplomatic Cables<\/span><\/strong><\/a>) in the Guardian<\/em>.<\/span><\/p>\n At that point, the data river forked. The treasure trove was copied by a Wikileaks<\/em> German employee,Daniel Domscheit-Berg, who went AWOL after this profitable appropriation. Domscheit-Bergmade a deal with David Leigh of the Guardian<\/em>; Leigh used it to cross Assange. He cold-shouldered Assange, declared the deal \u2018void\u2019, and used the data to promote his career and to make friends with Bill Keller, editor \u00a0of the NY Times They published the cables after redacting them, or should we say \u201ccensoring\u201d \u2013\u00a0 removeing everything the secret services demanded to remove. We wrote about it at length <\/span>here<\/span><\/strong><\/a> in CounterPunch.<\/span><\/p>\n Julian Assange succeeded in regaining some lost ground: he established new partnerships, with the Daily Telegraph<\/em> and others. The cables were being published all the time. And then Assange learned that the Guardian<\/em> and the New York Times<\/em> planned to publish the Guantanamo files. There was no time to lose: in a few days, the Wikileaks team prepared the files and began to upload. So did the competitors, possessing the Domscheit-Berg appropriated copy. This was the double-cross per Leigh.<\/span><\/p>\n The Guardian<\/em> and the New York Times<\/em> have a big and skilful staff, a lot of research, rich archives. But they decided to play ball with the secret services of their countries, redacting information which might identify informants. What a hutzpah! Sometimes, the identity of \u201cinformants\u201d is more important than the information.<\/span><\/p>\n For instance in the file of <\/span>Adil Hadi al Jaz\u2019iri<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/span>Leigh and Keller <\/span><\/span>removed the name of the informant<\/span><\/strong><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n To their misfortune and to our advantage, at this time the Wikileaks and the Guardian\/NY Times were not a loving couple but two competing enterprises. And the Wikileaks published this file in full, warts and all.\u00a0<\/span>Here is the name in full<\/span><\/a>:<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Abu Zubaydah the informer was the subject of intensive research, available <\/span>here<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/span>that makes clear: this unfortunate man was tortured by the CIA, with permission of\u00a0 US medics and Bush administration, to the point of the total collapse of his personality. He was one of the High Value Detainees; all of them suffered tortures beyond our ability to comprehend. Information they provided was not only unacceptable in court, it was of nil value because they said everything their tormentors wanted in order to gain a moment of peace.<\/span><\/p>\n Andy Worthington wrote: Since then, <\/span>more<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and <\/span>more<\/span><\/strong><\/a> compelling evidence has emerged to demonstrate that Abu Zubaydah was indeed nothing more than a \u201csafehouse keeper\u201d with mental health problems, who \u201cclaimed to know more about al-Qaeda and its inner workings than he really did\u201d\u2026 \u201cThe United States would torture a mentally disturbed man and then leap, screaming, at every word he uttered.\u201d Further confirmation was also provided that his torture yielded no significant information and led only to vast amounts of the intelligence agencies\u2019 time being wasted on false leads. A year ago, summing up the results of Zubaydah\u2019s torture, a former intelligence official stated, bluntly, \u201cWe spent millions of dollars chasing false alarms.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Removal of his name by the Leigh-Keller gang was not \u201ccaring about informers\u201d, it was caring about the torturers.<\/span><\/p>\n However the most important redactions by Leigh and Keller were directly dictated by the US intelligence services. The name of Nashwan Abd Al Razzaq Abd Al Baqi, or by another name, Abd al Hadi al Iraqi or by his number IZ-10026 was edited away from the file of Abu al-Libi (US9LY-010017DP) and elsewhere. This file is available in a <\/span>redacted version<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/span>of the Guardian and in the <\/span>uncut version<\/span><\/strong><\/a> <\/span>of Wikileaks. Comparison shows to what extent all the traces of al Iraqi were removed. It was not connected to \u201ccaring about informers\u201d, for al Libi was dead, having allegedly committed suicide in a Libyan jail just before the arrival of the US Ambassador in Tripoli. The file of al Iraqi is missing in all databases; he was captured in 2005 and kept in various secret prisons, until transferred to Guantanamo where he is detained now.<\/span><\/p>\n Careful reading of the file shows that al-Libi was connected with al Iraqi since October 2002. In 2003, OBL stated al Libi would be the official messenger between OBL and others in Pakistan. In mid-2003, al Libi moved his family to Abbottabad, Pakistan and worked between Abbottabad and Peshawar. He maintained contact with al Iraqi.<\/span><\/p>\n And we know that OBL was found and killed in Abbottabad \u2013 just as this publication hit the pages of the newspapers. So the trail to Abbottabad was known to the American services at least since 2005, when al-Libi, another Abbottabad dweller, was captured.<\/span><\/p>\n\n
