"One Day I Will Enjoy Sucking Their (Americans') Blood" - Gitmo Bay Detainee
As civil rights groups and left wing legal organizations push harder to have the inmates of Guantanamo Bay treated as common
criminals in federal courts, new details have been released about the prisoners in an apparent attempt to counter some of the
propaganda: Military Report on Guantanamo Highlights Danger of Al Qaeda.
One detainee vowed to his captors that U.S. citizens in Saudi Arabia “will have their heads cut off.” Another
prisoner, this one with strong ties to Bin Laden, the Taliban and the Chechen mujahedin leadership, said of Americans
everywhere: “Their day is coming ... . One day I will enjoy sucking their blood.”

The declassified summary cites more than 4,000 interrogation reports and says that some indicated Al Qaeda operatives
were pursuing chemical, biological and nuclear weapons. The summary does not elaborate on what that information is or how
close the terrorist organization might be to getting such weapons.
According to the report, captives have described how Al Qaeda trained them to spread deadly poisons, and at other times
armed them with grenades stuffed inside soda cans, bombs hidden in pagers and cellphones and wristwatches that could trigger
remote control explosions on a 24-hour countdown.
The report also showed that not all those being held were suspected of being front-line soldiers and that 1 in 10 of the
captives were well-educated — often at U.S. colleges — in fields such as medicine and law.
More than 20 detainees have been positively identified as Osama bin Laden’s personal bodyguards and one as his close
“spiritual advisor,” according to the report. Another is listed as the “probable 20th 9/11 hijacker” — a Saudi man named
Mohamed al-Kahtani who made it to Orlando, Fla., before being deported just a month before the Sept. 11 attacks.
