 American counter-terrorism analysts came to characterize the group of men Idris was captured with as ""the dirty thirty"", asserting that it was a group of Osama bin Laden bodyguards.Human rights workers and legal critics challenged this characterization, as it was based on denunciations from captives using unreliable coercive interrogation techniques.Information from the public record established that the men had little in common, prior to their capture, that they had come to Afghanistan at different times, and pursued different activities there, prior to their capture.
