US District Court Judge John D. Bates, who has reviewed Shawali's confidential file, wrote that all the allegations he faced were based on "multiple levels of hearsay", that "all of the information contained in the reports could come from a single individual" and that "no source is identified by name."[2] Shahwali Khan's lawyer Leonard C. Goodman, who has reviewed Shawali's confidential file says he was simply a merchant, denounced for a bounty.
Shawali arrived at Guantanamo on February 7, 2003, and was repatriated on December 20, 2014.[3][4][5]
