Dirty thirty (Guantanamo Bay Naval Base)

For other uses, see Dirty thirty.

A group of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the Dirty Thirty were believed to be the "best potential sources of information" and consequently the chief focus of the harshest methods of interrogation. Many of these captives were alleged to be Osama bin Laden bodyguards, or associates of Osama bin Laden.

63	Mohammed al Qahtani	Described as "a major prize". The Department of Defense acknowledged they subjected him to extended interrogation techniques, because he had tried to enter the USA in August 2001, and was suspected of being one of the dozen 20th hijackers. Many other sources described the treatment as torture. Those techniques included: Almost two months of sleep deprivation, where three shifts of interrogators kept him under interrogation 18 to 20 hours per day; Forced nudity; Force-feeding, forced uses of enemas, while under shackles, forced use of stimulants, and other drugs; Sexual humiliation; One of the successes asserted by DoD spokesmen was that al Qahtani identified thirty Osama bin Laden bodyguards during his extended interrogation. Al Qahtani has since recanted every denunciation he made under what he described as torture. Originally faced charges before a Guantanamo military commission in February 2008 but all charges were dropped in May 2008.
