[edit] errors in the original
The document refers to both the "Khaldan camp" and the "Khalidoun camp" and the "Derunta camp" and the "Darwanta camp". I suspect the names of two of the camps were misspelled.
The document asserts that "Ibn Cheikh Al-Libi" was the camp commandant. This is probably "Ibn Shaykh al-Libi".
The DoD acknowledged subjecting al-Libi to "extended interrogation techniques", and acknowledged that he was the source of the intelligence that al Qaida had offered some operatives chemical and biological weapons training, using Iraqi WMD. Credulous American intelligence officers had initially believed this confession that was coerced out of al-Libi using "extended interrogation techniques". Al-Libi's confession was one of the prime sources of the assertion that Saddam had an arsenal of WMD. When American inspectors were unable to find any Iraqi WMD American al-Libi was re-interrogated, and he recanted his earlier confession. It is surprising that accusations stemming from al-Libi's false confession are still taken at face value -- Geo Swan 11:35, 20 July 2006 (UTC)
