Defense Department list of terrorist organizations other than the Taliban or al Qaeda

A team of Seton Hall legal scholars, led by Mark Denbeaux, published a list entitled: Defense Department list of terrorist organizations other than the Taliban or al Qaeda in 2006, based on documents released by the US Department of Defense.

A second report on the Guantanamo detainees, entitled: "Inter- and Intra-Departmental Disagreements About Who Is Our Enemy" documented that the Department of Defense was detaining captives for association with organizations that the Department of Homeland Security did not regard as a threat.

The "Defense Department list of terrorist organizations other than the Taliban or al Qaeda" is an appendix to the Denbeaux team's second report.

Contrary to its misleading title, the list was not created by the Department of Defense nor is it used by them. It was compiled by the legal team from their interpretation of Combatant Status Review Tribunals summaries and transcripts.
