The Guantánamo parole board has rejected a plea for freedom from the prison’s oldest war-on-terror captive, a 68-year-old Pakistani businessman, citing the prisoner’s past ties to al-Qaida and declaring him too dangerous for release. 
  
 Saifullah Paracha went before the national security board March 8, saying his preference was to rejoin family in Pakistan or go to the United States, where he lived from 1970 to 1986. 
  
 Instead, the board cited his “refusal to take responsibility for his involvement with al-Qaida” and his “refusal to distinguish between legitimate and nefarious business contacts.” 
  
 The board also invoked “the detainee’s past involvement in terrorist activities, including contacts and activities with” Osama bin Laden and the alleged mastermind of the 9/11 attacks, Khalid Sheik Mohammed. It said Paracha had a role in “facilitating financial transactions and travel, and developing media for al-Qaida.” 
  
 The April 7 decision obtained by the Miami Herald effectively rebrands Saifullah Paracha as a ‘forever prisoner’ in the war on terror. 
  
 Paracha’s lawyers have long described him as a once-wealthy Karachi-to-New York import-export specialist who was lured to a Bangkok meeting in July 2003, ostensibly to see some Kmart buyers. It was an FBI-orchestrated sting, and Paracha was flown to Afghanistan for 10 months and then to Guantánamo. 
  
 Paracha “cannot show ‘remorse’ for things he maintains he never did,” attorney David Remes told the board in March, describing him as a “model prisoner.” On Thursday, Remes said Paracha “will try to address the board’s concerns in his file review in October.” 
  
 Paracha went before the board in March by teleconference between the base and Washington, D.C., wearing the white uniform of a compliant prisoner. He said in a statement that he was “duped” into visiting Afghanistan and handling certain finances as part of charity work he did. He said he met bin Laden in Paracha’s role as chairman of a Karachi TV broadcasting studio, and sought an interview, which the studio never did get. 
  
 An intelligence assessment prepared for the board said Paracha met bin Laden in the early 2000s and later worked with Mohammed to facilitate financial transactions and develop al-Qaida propaganda. It alleged that before his capture, Paracha — who has never been charged with a crime — did research on chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear materials and “offered operational suggestions to al-Qaida.” 
  
 The parole-style board has heard 29 cases, decided 27 and approved 20 captives for release. 
  
 Example advice included how to smuggle explosives into the United States, something “that al-Qaida planners probably did not take seriously.” 
  
 Paracha denied doing the research in his written submission to the board. “I never worked with anybody to harm anyone in my life.” 
  
 Paracha is among Guantánamo’s better known low-value war-on-terror detainees, in part because his capture demonstrated the far-flung nature of the Bush administration’s battlefield and the captives it called “enemy combatants.” Also, his eldest son, Uzair, 36, is in the second decade of a 30-year prison sentence on a federal court conviction for trying to help an al-Qaida operative travel to the United States. 
  
 Saifullah Paracha’s prison profile cast him as “very compliant” with the prison guards and espousing “moderate views and acceptance of Western norms” in his more than 11 years at Guantánamo. He arrived at the prison with a heart condition but during his stay refused an offer of expeditionary cathederization. In a failed federal court motion, he asked a judge to instead order he be taken to the United States for the procedure. 
  
 A 2009-10 Guantánamo review task force listed Paracha as a possible candidate for trial although he has never been charged either in federal court or the military commissions. 
  
 The April 7 Periodic Review Board decision, obtained by the Miami Herald Thursday, effectively rebrands him as an indefinite detainee in the war on terror, colloquially known as a “forever prisoner.” The official board language declared that “continued law of war detention of the detainee remains necessary to protect against a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States.” ||||| MIAMI (AP) — A U.S. government review board has decided that the oldest prisoner at Guantanamo is not eligible for release. 
  
 The Periodic Review Board determined that Saifullah Paracha must remain held without charge at the U.S. base in Cuba because of what it called a "continuing significant threat to the security of the United States." 
  
 The board also cited past involvement in terrorist activities including contacts with Osama bin Laden and other al-Qaida figures. 
  
 A lawyer for the 68-year-old prisoner released the review board statement Thursday. 
  
 The former businessman from Pakistan had his PRB hearing last month. Attorney David Remes says Paracha has significant health problems after 14 years in custody and should not be considered a threat. 
  
 Remes said the prisoner hopes to allay the board's concerns at his next review. |||||

Guantanamo's oldest prisoner won't soon return to Pakistan or the US as he had hoped: The Guantanamo parole board has ruled that 68-year-old Saifullah Paracha will remain in custody as "a continuing significant threat to the security of the United States." The Pakistani businessman has been in custody since 2003 over claims that he worked with alleged 9/11 mastermind Khalid Sheik Mohammed to facilitate financial transactions and develop propaganda for al-Qaeda, reports the Miami Herald. Paracha—who lived in the US from 1970 to 1986—was also allegedly in contact with Osama bin Laden and researched chemical and nuclear materials for the terrorist group, though he was never charged with a crime. During a hearing on March 8, Paracha—whose son was convicted of trying to help an al-Qaeda operative reach the US—said he "never worked with anybody to harm anyone," was "duped" into handling certain finances, and only tried to secure an interview with bin Laden while chairman of a TV broadcasting studio in Karachi. The board says his "refusal to take responsibility for his involvement with al-Qaeda" and "refusal to distinguish between legitimate and nefarious business contacts" made their decision clear, though Paracha's lawyer says he "cannot show 'remorse' for things he maintains he never did." The prisoner will respond to the board’s concerns in a review in October, his lawyer adds, per the AP.
