Sep 25 2002 trip of Gonzales, Addington, Haynes, and Rizzo to Guantanamo

Philippe Sands claims that on Sep 25 2002, several high level government lawyers traveled to Guantanamo Bay.

According to Sands they were

• Alberto Gonzales
• John Rizzo
• David Addington
• Jim Haynes

Sands claims they talked about interrogation methods with staff there. His main named sources are Michael Dunlavey and Diane Beaver.

Sands also claims they witnessed interrogations.

The Senate inquiry mentions the visit as well, but does not name Alberto Gonzales as a visitor

There is also the Senate document index, tab 6, for "The Origins of Aggressive Interrogation Techniques", which on page 12 prints a 'trip report, DoD General Counsel visit to GTMO'

• Haynes
• Addington
• Rizzo
• Honorable Mr Chertoff, DOJ Criminal Division
• 'and others'
