What is your source? Both because I have always heard about the "rewards program" and am interested in reading more, and because wherever you got the information that thousands of people were ever sent to Guantanamo Bay is simply wrong [1]. I see a trend of people rehashing things about Guantanamo Bay that they've heard somewhere else and just putting it out there. It doesn't help the progressive agenda of understanding GTMO and closing it, because the information is just plain wrong.

I saw this in a documentary (I guess it was PBS or BBC). It also had testimonies of innocent people who were detained & tortured for 5+ years, then released by US. Here are few links about it: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8472804/WikiLeaks-children-among-the-innocent-captured-and-sent-to-Guantanamo.html http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/wikileaks/8472804/... http://www.reprieve.org.uk/publiceducation/2012_08_30_Public_Education_Innocents_Guantanamo/ http://www.reprieve.org.uk/publiceducation/2012_08_30_Public...

Gitmo was not the only detention centre. Abu Ghraib is the most notorious of the other centres. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner_abuse http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Ghraib_torture_and_prisoner... The most famous innocent victim of paid-information is the taxi driver Dilawar, beaten to death in the Parwan Detention Facility. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_to_the_Dark_Side http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_to_the_Dark_Side
