Dirty thirty (Guantanamo)

Dirty thirty (Guantanamo)

A group of prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention camp, the Dirty Thirty were believed to be the "best potential sources of information" and consequently the chief focus of the harshest methods of interrogation. [New York Times [http://www.signonsandiego.com/uniontrib/20041017/news_1n17gitmo.html Sources describe Guantanamo prisoner abuse] , October 17, 2004]

Many of these captives were alleged to be Osama bin Laden bodyguards, or associates of Osama bin Laden.
