McClatchy Interview
On June 15, 2008 the McClatchy News Service published an article on each of 66 former Guantanamo captives they interviewed. Issa Khan was one of the captives interviewed.
In the interview Khan acknowledged that his father-in-law was a Taliban appointed judge. He was repatriated to Pakistani custody in September 2004—that is, while the Combatant Status Review Tribunals were in process.
His Pakistani interrogators told him his wife had been killed in 2001, and that his infant sone had disappeared. McClatchy reporters had been allowed access to his Pakistani security dossier, which stated he had been cleared of suspicion of involvement with the Talian.
Issa Khan reported he was captured by Pakistani police at a road-block—not on a battlefield. He reported being abused, both by his initial Pakistani captors and by Americans in Afghanistan. He reported that female interrogators told him they were smearing their menses on him. He reported that he and other captives retaliated by throwing their bodily fluids on some of the guards.

Famous quotes containing the word interview:
“The desire of most parents is first and foremost to do what is best for their children. Every interview with a mother or father confirms this, every letter written by a parent breathes this deep-seated wish, “I hope I am doing the right thing for my child.” This is real and honest, and at the very base of parenthood.”
—Irma Simonton Black (20th century)
