| | List of “Ghost Prisoners” Possibly in CIA Custody (Human Rights Watch, 30-11-2005) |
 | | Under international law, enforced disappearances occur when persons are deprived of their liberty, and the detaining authority refuses to disclose their fate or whereabouts, or refuses to acknowledge their detention, which places the detainees outside the protection of the law. |
 | | (One of the listed, No. 25, Ahmed Khalfan Ghailani, was indicted in U.S. federal court for his role in the 1998 attacks.) Yet none on this list has been arraigned or criminally charged, and government officials, speaking anonymously to journalists, have suggested that some detainees have been tortured or seriously mistreated in custody. |
 | | Listed as captured in “George W. Bush: Record of Achievement, Waging and Winning the War on Terror,” available on the White House website. |
