Reading these files: Detainee Assessment Briefs record the views of Joint Task Force Guantánamo at the time they were written. They are military intelligence assessments, not findings of a court, and reporting on the files documented their reliance on informants and on statements obtained in custody. Personal details such as dates of birth are deliberately not reproduced here.
