That wikileaks document says he admitted to being a member of AQ...I get that if I was being beaten or water-boarded I'd probably admit to being Charles Manson, but while they recommend release, he isn't actually deemed innocent.

This case of mistaken identity seems to be contradictory.

Detainee claimed he was involved in a motor vehicle accident that resulted in severe head trauma when he was a teenager. Detainee stayed in the hospital in Sanaa, YM, for one month and then traveled to the Islamic Hospital in Amman, Jordan,with a medical worker named Hassan Hadi. While in the Islamic hospital in Jordan, detainee underwent further treatment for an unidentified length of time before returning to Yemen. Detainee claimed he required further medical attention in Jordan, but was unable to afford the trip or the procedure.

In 2000, detainee went to a local relief agency seeking financial assistance for his medical problems. Detainee met an individual named Ibrahim Aliwee who offered to help assist him financially. In early 2001, Ibrahim’s assistant, Muhammad Said Abdullah, gave detainee $200 US, 2000 rupees, a plane ticket, written instructions and a point of contact in Pakistan (PK) and Afghanistan. Detainee claimed he already possessed a passport which he acquired upon his return from medical treatment in Jordan. Detainee flew from Sanaa to Karachi, PK, where he followed the directions he was given and proceeded to a hotel and stayed for two days. Detainee took a bus to Quetta, PK, rented a taxi and continued to Kandahar, AF. In Kandahar, detainee proceeded to a mosque in the central bazaar to find Ibrahim, with whom detainee stayed for
three days.

Detainee is deceptive and often uncooperative.

During a debriefing by Yemeni officials, detainee admitted using his associates name when first captured but denied traveling to any country other than Afghanistan – although he has claimed travel to Jordan.
While detainee’s timeline of travel from Yemen to Afghanistan is consistent and credible; detainee’s timeline after his arrival in Afghanistan is not. When first interviewed after being transferred to US custody; detainee admitted going to Afghanistan for jihad, receiving weapons training from the Taliban, and being on the front lines north of Kabul. Later, detainee’s story changed to traveling to Afghanistan for the purpose of rebuilding an Islamic center or to receive medical treatment.

Detainee’s claimed travel for treatment is assessed to be false.

Detainee admits he surrendered his passport, but claimed it was related to seeking medical assistance. When visually inspected by an interviewer for scars related to detainee’s claimed injury and surgery on his head, no evidence of scars or defects were found.
This unfortunately doesn't sound credible to me. Coming from Jordan to Quetta of all places for medical care, just doesn't add up. That doesn't mean he didn't deserve a trial and justice, but the Al Jazeera article has a very real slant to it.
