Gibbs, an Assistant Legal Advisor to the Tribunals.Her memo recorded that Mohamed Rahim was going to attend his Tribunal, but changed his mind one hour before the Tribunal convened.Her memo dismissed marginal notations the intelligence analysts had left on the classified documents they sent to the Tribunal.Most of her memo addressed the propriety of deeming three of the witness Mohamed Rahim requested as "not relevant", and dismissing the testimony of his boss, Mohammed Ibrahim, as not reasonably available. About Ibrahim she wrote: quotation|"The Tribunal deemed relevant the proffered testimony of Mohammed Ibrahim, whom the detainee stated worked at the same company that bought and transported goods, which would support the detainee's case. The CSRT determined that the witness was relevant, and forwarded a request to produce the witness to Afghanistan through the U.S. Department of State. However, the Afghani government failed to respond to the initial request of 9 Nov 04, and to the follow-up requests of 22 and 30 November 04,to produce the requested witness."
