Talk:Akhtiar Mohammad (Guantanamo detainee 1036)

message: The second and third allegations against Akhtiar were:
*The detainee is a member of Itihad Islami.
*The HiG is listed in the Terrorist Organization Reference Guide as having long-established ties with Usama Bin Laden.
This is entirely atypical of the pattern of allegations Guantanamo captives faced.  There are literally several hundred, possibly more than a thousand instances where there were pairs of related allegations.  
*The first allegation in these pairs was always an allegation of a specific association between the captive and an suspicious individual or organization.  
*The second allegation was always a general explanation or justification as to why the individual or organization was considered suspicious.
*This pair of allegations would follow the pattern, except, to follow the pattern, it should have explained how Ittihad-E-Islami was suspicious, not Hezbi-E-Islami.  In fact Ittihad-E-Islami remained a member of the Northern Alliance.
*Hezbi-E-Islami and Ittihad-E-Islami were both militia groups that had fought against the Soviets, during the Soviet occupation of Afghanistan.  Both groups fought resisted the Taliban.  The Hezbi-E-Islami was a fundamentalist group.  When the USA invaded the leader of Hezbi-E-Islami, a former Prime Minister of Afghanistan named Gulbuddin Hekmatyar, and most of his followers, switched sides, and allied with the Taliban.  This faction of the Hezbi-E-Islami was more opposed to invading foreigners, whether they were Soviet or American, than they were to the Taliban.
The Guantanamo authorities can't find the Hezbi-E-Islami ID card that they claim Akhtiar was captured with.  Akhtiar acknowledged having an Ittihad-E-Islami ID card.  He has been shown his Ittihad-E-Islami ID card. He denies all association with fundamentalists like the HIG.  
I think I need to scale back the conclusion I came to, and failed to keep out of article space, that the Guantanamo intelligence analysts royally screwed up, and conflated Akhtiar's association with Ittihad-E-Islami, which remained one of the allies in the Northern Alliance, and the Hezbi-E-Islami Gulbuddin, which allied itself with the Taliban, after the American invasion.

thread_title: conflation

message: Another contributor removed thousands of valid and useful wiklinks from close to one hundred articles.
They made these widespread changes without asking anyone else for input.  
I reverted those changes to a few articles today, and explained why at Talk:Ibrahim Mahdy Achmed Zeidan#explanation.  I am very concerned that the excising contributor has restored their controversial and essentially unexplained versions, with the misleading claim in the edit summary that the issue is "under discussion".
