Its director, Moazzam Begg, is a former Guantánamo Bay detainee who was released without charge in 2005 by President Bush over the objections of the Pentagon, the CIA, and the FBI (all of whom were concerned that Begg could still be a dangerous terrorist).〔 〕 In November 2010, ''The Guardian'' reported that US embassy cables showed a US U-turn, praising Begg over his campaign for Europe to take in other Guantanamo detainees. Referring to 2010 Afghanistan, Begg said he completely supported the inalienable right of the people to fight "foreign occupation". ==Stated purpose== CAGE is an advocacy organization whose stated aim is "to highlight and campaign against state policies developed as part of the War on Terror".〔 It has run campaigns in support of freeing detainees who continue to be held without charges, such as Aafia Siddiqui, Babar Ahmad, Syed Talha Ahsan and Shaker Aamer.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=About Us )〕 The journalist Terry Glavin in ''The National Post'' described the organization as "a front for Taliban enthusiasts and al Qaida devotees that fraudulently presents itself a human rights group."〔Terry Glavin, ("Amnesty International doubles down on appeasement" ), ''The National Post'', 8 February 2010, accessed 17 February 2010.〕 Among the Muslim inmates it has highlighted are Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the alleged 9/11 mastermind; Abu Hamza, facing extradition from the U.K. to the U.S. on terror charges; and Abu Qatada, described as Osama Bin Laden’s “European ambassador”. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「CAGE (organisation)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
