It was certainly a factor, as I suggested, the problems that were arising under Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo; those, however, were.... In the early stages, we didn't know about that. Those were things that were becoming very au courant at the time.
I would suggest that the other really important factor was that we were in Afghanistan. It was Afghan sovereign territory. We had to demonstrate that we were operating within a role to contribute to the pacification and building of Afghanistan for them, not for ourselves. I think we, the British, the Dutch, and others all came to the same conclusion. The only proper conclusion, given the circumstances of the nature of our mission.... It wasn't an invasion. It was a mission to support the building of a government there with a newly elected government. The only thing consistent with what we were doing there was to turn to them, as sovereign in their territory, and allow them to take the prisoners and be responsible for them.
