Yes, I fear you are right. It has a million members, I suspect most of them computer savvy. It's like trying to hold back a flood. My hope is if I quote from their cannonical books they won't delete those edits. But perhaps I should just follow your advise. --Leroy65X 18:28, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

How competent are the intelligence analysts at JTF-GTMO?

I'd read the transcript from Ilkham Turdbyavich Batayev CSRT, but I hadn't gotten around to reading his ARB transcript until tonight.

Have you ever heard of a hawala named al-Barakat? Have you ever heard of a guy named Adbuhalim Pakhrutdinov, or reasonable equivalent? Batayev was alleged to have worked for Pakhrutdinov, in his "Al Baraka", or "AL Barakat" office. (It is spelled both ways.)

Well, al-Barakat is a hawala that serves the Somali diaspora. I wonder how many Somalian immigrated to Uzbekistan, or are guest workers in Uzbekistan? American intelligence analysts initially believed that funds had been sent to the 9-11 hijackers via the Saudi hawala al-Barakat. Its assets were frozen, and some of its agents were arrested. But the 9-11 Commission concluded that it had not been used by the 9-11 hijackers.

Sucks that Guantanamo captives remained in detention over an allegation that the 911 Commission had refuted years earlier.

The description of the al-Barakat where Batayev had been a cashier seems to match that of a hawala. It also looks like the intelligence analyst who drafted the allegation didn't bother to inform him or herself of the services al-Barakat sold.

Do you think that Uzbekistan had an organization, that provided financial services, that was also called al-Barakat, that was not connected to the Somalia hawala?

I suspect that the Batayev who ended up in Guantanamo was sent there due to a case of mistaken identity like that of the German Khaled el-Masri . If he was really captured smuggling $600,000 in counterfeit US funds, to finance a terrorist training camp, in June 2000, how did he end up, at large, in Afghanistan in late 2001?

If there is only one al-Barakat, and it mainly serves the Somalia diaspora, you would think the cashiers would all be Somalian, else how could they talk to their customers?

Anyhow, I thought you might be interested.

I would appreciate if in the future when you make substantive edits you not use the edit summary "tidying." A new user might forget to assume good faith and accuse you of being deceptive. We would not want that. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:12, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I'd really much rather prefer to believe otherwise. As I said before, the alternative is too awful to contemplate. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:28, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry, I'm incapable of providing you with "inane" responses; fortunately, you don't appear to need my help for that. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:35, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

My comments would be easily understood by a native English speaker, so I fully understand the difficulty you are having. Jayjg ^(talk) 05:43, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is a BLP violation. If you post anything like it again, I'll request admin action. SlimVirgin ^(talk) 06:06, 11 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
