published a series of articles based on interviews with 66 former Guantanamo captives. Tarek Dergoul was one of the former captives who had an article profiling him. Tarek Dergoul acknowledged traveling to Afghanistan following the al Qaeda's attacks of 11 September 2001. He said he regarded the flight of refugees as a business opportunity. He and some other associates thought they could buy property from fleeing refugees at bargain prices, and then re-sell them when the order was restored. However, he said, his companions were killed, and he was injured, when a shell landed in a villa they were about to buy. Tarek Dergoul told his McClatchy interviewer he was buried in the rubble, and woke in hospital, to find himself under an armed guard. His left arm was amputated. After some time in Afghan custody, he was sold to the Americans for a $5000 bounty, and transferred to the Bagram Theater internment facility. Tarek Dergoul reported that when he arrived in Bagram, medical treatment was withheld from him, and then when a doctor oversaw the amputation of one of his toes, pain medication was withheld from him, so that he would still be able to feel pain, when he was next interrogated. Tarek Dergoul reports that he only became religious during his detention. WikiLeaks leaks Dergoul's formerly secret JTF-GTMO assessment Dergoul was repatriated prior to the United States Supreme Court ruling that the Department of Defense had to prepare a list of the allegations used to justify Guantanamo captives' continued detention. But on 25 April 2011, the whistleblower organization WikiLeaks published a formerly secret assessment of 766 current and former captives. Dergoul's assessment was drafted on 28 October 2003. It was two pages long, it was signed by camp commandant Geoffrey Miller, and it recommended his continued detention. Historian Andy Worthington incorporated information from Dergoul's assessment in a profile of him he published on 2 August 2011. He noted that JTF-GTMO analysts had concluded "not been cooperative or forthright during his detention," that he had been "assessed as having been recruited to fight on behalf of the Taliban" and as having "probable Al-Qaida affiliations and links with known Al-Qaida supporters in the UK."They concluded he was "of moderate intelligence value to the United States," but posed "a high threat to the US, its interests or its allies."Dergoul sentenced to community service In August 2011, Dergoul and a friend were
