	Challenge for U.S.: Iraq's Handling of Detainees - New York Times
		CAMP JUSTICE, Iraq — The blindfolded detainees in the dingy hallway line up in groups of five for their turn to see a judge, like schoolchildren outside the principal's office.
		Detainees are marched from cells in groups of five to see him in an office.
		The law says detainees are entitled to have their cases reviewed by a judge every two weeks, but there are not enough judges, said Colonel Shammari, the chief interrogator.

	U.S.: Abu Ghraib Only the “Tip of the Iceberg” (Human Rights Watch, 27-4-2005)
		Nine detainees are now known to have died in U.S. custody in Afghanistan—including four cases already determined by Army investigators to be murder or manslaughter.
		Detainees held at military bases in 2002 and 2003 described to Human Rights Watch being beaten severely by both guards and interrogators, deprived of sleep for extended periods, and intentionally exposed to extreme cold, as well as other inhumane and degrading treatment.
		Reports by FBI agents who witnessed detainee abuse—including chained detainees forced to sit in their own excrement—have recently emerged, adding to the statements of former detainees describing the use of painful stress positions, use of military dogs to threaten detainees, threats of torture and death, and prolonged exposure to extremes of heat, cold and noise.

	Policy Let U.S. Hold Detainees in Secret, Military Officers Say
		A similar practice was later used at Iraq's Abu Ghraib prison, where the physical and sexual abuse of detainees prompted the Department of Defense to launch several sweeping investigations of its detention policies in Iraq and Afghanistan.
		Members of the same military intelligence unit that are implicated in the deaths and abuse at Bagram were later involved in abuse at the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq, according to a report first published by Knight Ridder and subsequently confirmed by two major investigations by the Army and the Department of Defense.
		Viewed as a "special project," the detainee, who was a suspected member of al-Qaida, was kept in a totally dark cell about 2 meters long and 1 meter wide and without a window, latrine, water tap or bedding.

	CNN.com - Sources: Afghan detainees planned attacks on U.S. - January 13, 2002
		A high-ranking al Qaeda leader from Libya accused of running terrorist training camps in Afghanistan, Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi, was recently moved to Bagram from the USS Bataan in the Arabian Sea.
		The detainees were housed outside in 6-by-8 chain-link cells until a detention facility is completed.
		The detainee is of Arab descent, the source said.

	Signs of Detainees' Planning Alleged
		Detainees could apparently hide documents in their cells -- including instructions on how to tie knots and a classified U.S. military memo regarding cell locations of detainees and camp operational matters at Guantanamo -- by keeping the materials in envelopes labeled as lawyer-client communications.
		Defense lawyers for Guantanamo detainees said that their clients are closely monitored and should have no way to pass such notes, and that the filing yesterday is designed to complicate their efforts.
		Barbara Olshansky of the Center for Constitutional Rights, which represents most of the Guantanamo detainees, said the allegations that lawyers could have played a role in the suicides are "patently offensive" and "outrageous." She said the government is again trying to make it difficult for lawyers to represent the 450 detainees held there.

	CNN.com - Pentagon: Detainees, not soldiers, flushed Quran - Jun 4, 2005
		In a fifth confirmed incident, it could not be determined whether a guard or a detainee wrote a two-word obscenity in a detainee's Quran.
		In February 2002, a detainee complained that guards kicked the Quran belonging to a detainee in a nearby cell.
		On August 21, 2003, a detainee complained that a "two-word obscenity had been written in English on the inside cover of his English version Quran." The report noted that the detainee knew English and Arabic, and it could not be determined exactly who wrote the phrase.

	Camp X-Ray - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The U.S. government has classified the detainees in Camp X-Ray as "illegal combatants," rather than prisoners of war (POWs), which they claim means that they do not have to be conferred the rights granted to POWs under the Geneva Conventions (at least under that convention).
		The two former detainees were arrested in Moscow for allegedly preparing a series of attacks in Russia.
		Detainees are kept in isolation most of the day, are blindfolded when moving into Camp X-Ray and from place to place within the camp, and forbidden to talk in groups of more than three.

	BBC NEWS \| Americas \| Guantanamo food strike 'serious'
		The US authorities say that only 28 detainees remain on hunger strike, of whom 22 are being fed through tubes at the prison hospital.
		Clive Stafford Smith, a lawyer for 40 of the detainees, said some of them had been shackled to their beds to stop them removing the feeding tubes.
		Many of the detainees have been held at the camp since it was set up in 2002, after the US-led offensive against the Taleban regime in Afghanistan.

	USA : Guantánamo detainees - the legal black hole deepens - Amnesty International (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Yesterday’s federal court ruling on the Guantánamo detainees it will cause further damage to the international reputation of the USA and to fundamental human rights standards agreed to across the world, Amnesty International said today.
		More than 600 detainees of more than 40 nationalities are being held without charge or trial in the US Naval Base in Guantánamo Bay in Cuba.
		Yesterday, the US Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit ruled that the detainees may not challenge their detentions in US federal court because Cuba has sovereignty over Guantánamo Bay and therefore the prisoners are not protected by the US Constitution.

	Names of the Detained in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba \| washingtonpost.com
		Until March 3rd, the Pentagon had declined to identify the detainees at Guantanamo Bay Military Prison, most of whom were captured in Afghanistan during and after the 2001 war there.
		From 2002 to May 2006, Washington Post researchers compiled the names and countries of origin of detainees in Guantanamo from unofficial, public sources: news accounts, legal documents (such as habeas corpus petitions and from the CSRT tribunals), interviews with attorneys and relatives, and information from detainee support sites on the Web.
		One of the "high value" detainees whose transfer from a secret foreign prison to Guantanamo Bay was announced by President Bush on Sept. 6, 2006, during a speech in which he outlined a reformed detainee policy.

		GENEVA (Reuters) - Detainees are enjoying better treatment at the U.S. prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, and the Red Cross is satisfied with its access to them, the humanitarian agency’s chief said on Tuesday.
		I admit to suspicions that despite the “refrain from torture” clause, we are sending them to countries were torture is more acceptable or their definition of torture is more lenient or their media is less likely to report any infractions.
		Detainees whom the United States considers “really bad guys” will remain in Guantanamo, the officials said, but in coming months the facility population could drop to about 100.

	List of Guantánamo Bay detainees - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Although Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld has said on several occasions that the suspects detained at Guantánamo Bay are "the worst of the worst," it has been suggested that senior Taliban and al Qaeda members are detained in other, more secret interrogation centres, or in countries that practise torture.
		The names of several hundred detainees who had been released prior to the commencement of the CSRT were not released.
		The list didn't specify whether the detainees were still in detention at Guantanamo; whether they had been determined to be "enemy combatants"; whether they were released, or repatriated to the custody of their home country.

		In a few cases, these security detainees have been taken before the ordinary criminal courts to face prosecution for criminal offenses.
		Federal prosecutors and courts generally have dealt effectively with the challenges posed by these prosecutions, balancing the requirements of security and justice.
		At the same time, as noted, administration spokesmen have suggested that detainees now being prosecuted before the federal criminal courts may be removed from these courts’ jurisdiction — and given new trials before military commissions under procedures that would severely curtail fair trial guarantees.

		The Army report concluded that the broken jaw was caused either as a result of a blow by a U.S. soldier or a collapse due to ”complete muscle failure” from being excessively exercised.

	- Detainees
		The government refused to make known the identities or whereabouts of any of these detainees at first and later provided such information only as to those charged with criminal violations (a small minority).
		These mass detentions were justified as necessary to investigate and prevent “threats, conspiracies, and attempts to perpetrate terrorist acts against the United States”.
		The criminal charges eventually brought against a limited number (approximately 130) were predominantly for minor charges, which would not justify detention under the usual criteria for pretrial release, and very few detainees were ever charged with a terrorist act.
