AAN’s Kate Clark is quoted in this article looking at one of the last Afghan detainees in Guantánamo (via AFP):
Kate Clark, co-director of the Afghanistan Analysts Network, a leading research group on the country, said Haroon was no significant terrorist figure.

“Whatever you think about Guantanamo, he was not important enough to be there … if he was anything, he was a bit player,” she told AFP.
