That is the problem ,one suspect inline for a payout is Binyam Mohamed ,he was alledgedly travelling on a false passport with a now convicted terrorist when he was picked up ,obviously not a little angel ,but that is not proof of guilt nor is it reason to torture even if guilty of terrorism ,nor in my opinion is/was internment the answer.If it turns out that the Americans allegations towards him were true and he was trained in bomb making ,and he did attend paramilitary training in Al-Farouq then i have no doubt that some or all of his compensation will find it's way to Al-Qaeda or similar ,but that is ultimately the fault of the Americans imo for allowing torture
