Disclaimer: This site has been first put up 15 years ago. Since then I would probably do a couple things differently, but because I've noticed this site had been linked from news outlets, PhD theses and peer rewieved papers and because I really hate the concept of "digital dark age" I've decided to put it back up. There's no chance it can produce any harm now.

S E C R E T KUWAIT 001904 SIPDIS TEL AVIV FOR RICHARD LEBARON TUNIS FOR NATALIE BROWN E.O. 12958: DECL: 06/19/2014 TAGS: PTER, KAWC, KJUS, PREL, PHUM, PINR, KU SUBJECT: (S) PROPOSED RELEASE OF KUWAITI GUANTANAMO DETAINEE: "ONE IS NOT ENOUGH" Classified By: Charge d'Affaires Frank C. Urbancic, Reasons 1.4 (C) and (D) (S) Acting Foreign Minister Khaled Al-Jarallah summoned CDA on June 19 regarding Kuwaiti detainees currently being held at Guantanamo. Apologizing for the short notice, Al-Jarallah said that the Kuwaiti Charge in Washington had been notified that the US was prepared to release one Kuwaiti detainee, Nasser al-Mutairi, to Kuwait's custody. Al-Jarallah reported that the Prime Minister directed him to inform Washington that Kuwait is ready to receive al-Mutairi. However, he continued, the GOK was under the impression that more than one Kuwaiti Guantanamo detainee would be handed over and therefore "is concerned and a bit disappointed" that only al-Mutairi will be released. "One is not enough," Al-Jarallah stressed, adding that Foreign Minister Shaykh Dr. Mohammed, who is in Hong Kong, will contact Secretary Powell directly to convey the same message. URBANCIC
