American intelligence analysts estimate the Chaman was born in 1980, in Manikhel, Afghanistan. Nasser Gul Ghaman was repatriated without ever been charged on February 28, 2007.[2]
Press reports
Canadian journalist, and former special assistant to US President George W. Bush, David Frum, published an article based on his own reading of the transcripts from the Combatant Status Review Tribunals, on November 11, 2006.[3] It was Frum who coined the term "Axis of evil" for use in a speech he wrote for Bush. Chaman's transcript was one of the nine Frum briefly summarized. His comment on Chaman was:
"One detainee was apprehended in possession of a military identity card that named him as a member of an especially vicious Taliban militia. He explained that it was not his own card. It belonged to a friend who had asked him to hold it for him."
Frum came to the conclusion that all nine of the men whose transcript he summarized had obviously lied.[3] He did not, however, state how he came to the conclusion they lied. His article concluded with the comment:
"But what’s the excuse of those in the West who succumb so easily to the deceptions of terrorists who cannot invent even half-way plausible lies?"
