Since the military brought the first detainees to Guantánamo in January 2002, the Pentagon has consistently refused to comprehensively identify those it holds. While it has, at various times, released information about individuals who have been detained at Guantánamo, it has always maintained ambiguity about the population of the facility at any given moment, declining even to specify precisely the number of detainees held at the base. We have sought to identify the detainee population using a variety of records, mostly from habeas corpus litigation, and we have sorted the current population into subgroups using both the government’s allegations against detainees and detainee statements about their own affiliations and conduct.

Routledge Handbook of U.S. Counterterrorism and Irregular
‘A unique, exceptional volume of compelling, thoughtful, and informative essays on the subjects of irregular warfare, counter-insurgency, and counter-terrorism – endeavors that will, unfortunately, continue to be unavoidable and necessary, even as the U.S. and our allies and partners shift our focus to Asia and the Pacific in an era of renewed great power rivalries. The co-editors – the late Michael Sheehan, a brilliant comrade in uniform and beyond, Liam Collins, one of America’s most talented and accomplished special operators and scholars on these subjects, and Erich Marquardt, the founding editor of the CTC Sentinel – have done a masterful job of assembling the works of the best and brightest on these subjects – subjects that will continue to demand our attention, resources, and commitment.’ General (ret.) David Petraeus, former Commander of the Surge in Afghanistan, U.S. Central Command, and Coalition Forces in Afghanistan and former Director of the CIA ‘Terrorism will continue to be a featured security challenge for the foreseeable future. We need to be careful about losing the intellectual and practical expertise hard-won over the last twenty years. This handbook, the brainchild of my late friend and longtime counter-terrorism expert Michael Sheehan, is an extraordinary resource for future policymakers and CT practitioners who will grapple with the evolving terrorism threat.’ General (ret.) Joseph Votel, former commander of US Special Operations Command and US Central Command ‘This volume will be essential reading for a new generation of practitioners and scholars. Providing vibrant first-hand accounts from experts in counterterrorism and irregular warfare, from 9/11 until the present, this book presents a blueprint of recent efforts and impending challenges.

Doctors As Pawns? Law and Medical Ethics at Guantanamo
MARKSFINAL 4/13/2007 10:58:47 AM Doctors as Pawns? Law and Medical Ethics at Guantánamo Bay Jonathan H. Marks∗ I. INTRODUCTION This symposium poses the question: “Guantanamo Bay: How should we respond?” When I thought about this question, it oc- curred to me that we talk about “responding” in a number of ways. We respond in games, such as chess or bridge. But the detention pol- icy of the Bush Administration (“the Administration”) is not a game—certainly not from the perspectives of those who are being (or have been) detained at Guantánamo Bay for prolonged periods since the “global war on terror” began. We also respond in conversation. However, we should not permit rhetoric to distract from action on the ground. Statements of interrogation and detention policy are one thing (especially when prepared for public consumption or in response to public criticism); interrogation and detention practices may be quite another. We respond in negotiation. That model, too, makes me uncomfortable. My intuition and my legal training tell me that some things should simply not be negotiable, among them cer- tain absolute commitments to fundamental human rights: freedom from cruel, inhuman, and degrading (“CID”) treatment, as well as freedom from torture. This is, after all, the position adopted in two core human rights treaties: the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (“ICCPR”),1 and the Convention against Torture and ∗ Associate Professor of Bioethics, Humanities, and Law at the Pennsylvania State University; Barrister and Founding Member, Matrix Chambers, London.

The “Journey of Death” 1
THE JOURNEY OF DEATH – OVER 700 PRISONERS ILLEGALLY RENDERED TO GUANTANAMO BAY WITH THE HELP OF PORTUGAL 28 January 2008 THE “JOURNEY OF DEATH” 1 - OVER 700 PRISONERS ILLEGALLY RENDERED TO GUANTANAMO WITH THE HELP OF PORTUGAL - Reprieve can now conclusively show that Portuguese territory and airspace has been used to transfer over 700 prisoners to torture and illegal imprisonment in Guantanamo Bay. Through comparing flight logs obtained from Portuguese authorities, 2 information from the US Department of Defence showing dates of arrival of prisoners at Guantanamo Bay, and unclassified testimony from many of the prisoners themselves, 3 Reprieve is for the first time able to name 728 prisoners rendered to Guantanamo Bay through Portuguese jurisdiction. 1 So said Adil Al-Zamil, prisoner transported on Flight RCH108Y through Portuguese jurisdiction to Guantanamo Bay: “I call the journey to Guantanamo ‘the journey of death.’ I discreetly wished that the plane would fall to end the pain I felt.” Source: Kuwaiti Gitmo Detainees Speak Out about Abuse, By Rania El Gamal, Kuwait Times, December 1, 2006 2 Flight logs obtained by Ana Gomes MEP in 2006 reveal that on at least 94 occasions aircraft crossed Portuguese airspace en route to or from Guantanamo Bay between 2002-2006 . On at least 6 occasions rendition aircraft flew directly from Lajes in the Azores to Guantanamo. See appendix for full copies of the logs. 3 The US Department of Defence has released ‘in-process’ records of Guantanamo inmates, detailing when prisoners were first weighed and measured on entry to the prison. It is possible confirm the identities of prisoners transported to Guantanamo through Portuguese jurisdiction by matching the ‘in- process’ dates of particular prisoners held in Guantanamo with flights contained in the Portuguese flight logs.

Faces of Guantánamo Guantánamo ’S Many Wrongly Imprisoned
FACES OF GUANTÁNAMO GUANTÁNAMO ’S MANY WRONGLY IMPRISONED APRIL 2007 666 Broadway, New York, New York 10012 (212) 614 6464 [email protected] INTRODUCTION President Bush’s announcement of the transfer of so-called “high-value detainees” from secret CIA ghost detention sites to Guantánamo is a thinly-veiled attempt by the Administration to re-shape the image of Guantánamo – and the men detained there – in the face of widespread condemnation both at home and abroad. The Administration would like to re-claim that Guantánamo is holding “the worst of the worst” despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. The political debate and the media attention are focused on the way a small minority of suspects will be tried. Lost in the discussion is the matter of hundreds of men who have never been charged and will never be tried because there is no evidence justifying their continuing indefinite detention. It is the Administration’s position that these men can be imprisoned indefinitely without charge or trial. The President would never be required to justify the legality of their detention, and these men would never be able to present their case and obtain a hearing before a court. Quite simply, the President’s mere assertion that executive detention is justified would be sufficient to lock someone up forever. For the men at Guantánamo, the theory of their imprisonment - now in its fifth year for most of them - is that they were soldiers, technically, "enemy combatants." The "enemy combatant" definition in use exceeds what is permissible under the Geneva Conventions; and scores, perhaps hundreds of men do not fit even within its broad reach.
