The top guys were created by CIA and Mossad, the lower level guys really believe they are on a jihad.
US internment[edit]
According to United States Department of Defense records, al-Baghdadi was held at Camp Bucca as a "civilian internee" by US Forces-Iraq from February until December 2004, when he was recommended for release by a Combined Review and Release Board.[18][22] A number of newspapers and cable news channels have instead stated that al-Baghdadi was interned from 2005 to 2009. These reports originate from an interview with the former commander of Camp Bucca, Colonel Kenneth King, and are not substantiated by Department of Defense records.[23][24][25] Al-Baghdadi was imprisoned at Camp Bucca along with other future leaders of ISIL.[26]
