At least 59 people with no connections to the Taliban or Al Qaeda have spent the last year in prison in Guantanamo, apparently -- nearly 10 per cent of those being held. What's notable is that American intelligence officers in Afghanistan said they were "farmers" BEFORE they got on the plane and shipped off to Cuba.

The sources blamed flawed screening guidelines, policies that made it near impossible to take prisoners off Guantanamo flight manifests and a pervasive fear of letting a valuable prisoner go free by mistake.
