Pentagon names all Guantanamo detainees
By ASSOCIATED PRESS

SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico - The Pentagon handed over on Monday the first list of everyone who has been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba - more than four years after the United States began using it as a detention center in its war on terror. None of the most notorious terrorist suspects was included in the list delivered by the Pentagon to the Associated Press, raising questions about where America's most dangerous prisoners are being held. The names of some 200 former prisoners have never been disclosed. Officials say 759 detainees have been held at the center since it began taking prisoners in January 2002. About 275 have been released or transferred, and the United States has filed charges against 10 detainees. The AP sought the names and other information through a Freedom of Information Act request on Jan. 18. The Pentagon has not turned over all of the information.
