Dirty thirty (Guantanamo Bay Naval Base)

Dirty thirty (Guantanamo Bay Naval Base)

A group of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the Dirty Thirty were believed[by whom?] to be the "best potential sources of information" and consequently the chief focus of the harshest methods of interrogation.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] Many of these detainees were alleged to be Osama bin Laden bodyguards, or associates of Osama bin Laden.[citation needed]
