Many of the people in Gitmo are innocent of any wrongdoing. In the early days of the 'War on Terror' there was a standing bounty placed on people with a "connection to terrorism".

The REAL terrorists would round up foreign nationals in AFGN, Pakistan, etc and turn them in for the bounty. Most of these people were tourists. Say you happen to be a German citizen of Turkish ethnicity on vacation and you walk down the wrong alley in Peshawar... you get rounded up by an armed gang, they take your passport and documentation, turn you in for a bounty, and then you have to explain to hostile Americans what your doing in a foreign country with no documentation. And you have to explain this to them through a language barrier, while you're being beaten and waterboarded.

This is exactly what happened to Murat Kurnaz and many other GITMO detainees.
