From This American Life: Habeas Schmabeas 2007 (Transcript)
- 5% of detainees were caught/arrested by U.S. troops.
- 8% are classified by the Pentagon as Al-Qaeda fighters.
- Officials polled estimate that out of 600 detained men, 1-2 dozen could give info about Al-Qaeda.
- 86% of prisoners were handed over by Pakistan or the Northern Alliance in exchange for a bounty offered by the U.S., often in the range of $5,000-$10,000 USD. More was offered for Al-Qaeda, less for Taliban, more for leaders either way.
