///Just don't go to a war zone if you are not in the military and have a proveable reason for being there.///
I agree.
But Shaker Aamer was there in 2002 when the world was a different place. Yes, it was post 9/11, but the War on Terror hadn't cranked itself into the fully-fledged Military machine it subsequently became.

// That's right, gromit. Another mistake by the so-called intelligence agencies. (lard) //
Oh no, there have been a lot more mistakes...
Of the 780 detainees:
2 have been convicted, of the lesser charge of providing material support.
1 was convicted and then acquitted.
7 cases were dismissed or withdrawn

So the Americans flew to a Pakistani Gaol which was unguarded. Shot the captive and whisked the body to a waiting aircraft aircraft by chopper. He was given Islamic funeral rites and immediately fed the fishes so as not to make a martyr of him. No requirement to keep him for questioning by the intelligence!!!
We have a lone U.S. army patrol in the middle of nowhere who find Saddam Hussein hidden in a rathole. Why didn't the U.S. just bump off Saddam, like they are alledged to have with Bin Laden ,and say nothing rather than go through a show trial where he is going to hang in any case .
If Bin Laden was shot in the cell why bring the body back to a flat top. Photographs and DNA could be quickly obtained before extraction by the team who "shot him" if all they needed was proof of death and correct ID of the body.
I see the writer of this theory got a George Orwell Award in 2004. Remind me what genre of literature did George Orwell write. Fiction mostly.
George Orwell he was a bit left wing anti everything sort of cove wasn''t he?
Anti-establishment,Empire and anything British I suppose.

The U.S. had great interest in what was going on in Afghanistan and the terrorism there prior to 9/11. At one stage they supplied the mujahadeen with stinger missiles to shoot down Russian Gunships.
Today's Freedom fighter is tomorrow's terrorist. They knew exactly who they were dealing with as freedom fighters and subsequently terrorists before 2002.
They probably knew Shaker and had him in their sights back then.

That just reinforces what I posted earlier.The U.S. knew who they were dealing with back then and the names of every foot soldier they supplied with arms and kit against the Russians.
