Hearsay Evidence
Lawyers for two Guantanamo detainees organized a study entitled, No-hearing hearings, which cited Al Kandari as an example of a detainee for whom all the evidence against him was "hearsay evidence".
The study quoted the Tribunal's legal advisor:
"Indeed, the evidence considered persuasive by the Tribunal is made up almost entirely of hearsay evidence recorded by unidentified individuals with no first hand knowledge of the events they describe."
The study commented:
“Outside of the CSRT process, this type of evidence is more commonly referred to as 'rumor'.”
