Well, having a case "fraut with evidence likely to be thrown out of most civilian courts" and having "comitted no crime" aren't quite the same thing.

Based on what he's reported to have admitted, it sounds to me quite likely that he's guilty of conspiracy to commit murder, as are a number of the detainees at Gitmo. Unfortunately, there's a reasonable chance that everything he's admitted to since being captured will get excluded, depending on how well Mirandized the court thinks he was. If it isn't excluded, I think he's quite likely to be convicted on the conspiracy rap.

If he *is* a spook, his cover was *exceptionally* well-constructed.
