Our reasons, in short, do not always really involve a belief that a prisoner is dangerous to us or has committed some crime; sometimes (and this is more debased) we mostly think we might find him useful\u2026Here are other signs, according to the files, that a prisoner is dangerous: attitude toward the Star Spangled Banner; having been caught wearing a Casio F91W watch (a common model); perceived support for fellow inmates who committed suicide (there have been five).And more: according to the Guardian, the \u201cGTMO matrix of threat indicators for enemy combatants,\u201d which runs to seventeen pages, also lists having a connection to Pakistan\u2019s Inter-Services Intelligence Directorate, or I.S.I.; given how much money we\u2019ve given Pakistan to fight the Taliban and Al Qaeda, that detail alone is enough to make one\u2019s head spin, if the Casio didn\u2019t do it already\u2026Is a Casio watch better than no reason at all? \u201cIt is undetermined as to why the detainee was transferred to GTMO,\u201d the base commander wrote in a report on one of \u201cthree hapless Tajiks,\u201d as the Guardian described them, who had been shipped there after being rounded up with others\u2014not on what supporters of Guant\u00e1namo like to call the battlefield, but in the library at the University of Karachi, in Pakistan.
