Pentagon Guantanamo List Angers Nations

[dogday]

KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) - A chorus of complaints against the Bush administration erupted Thursday after the Pentagon released a previously secret list of the names and nationalities of 558 people held at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay.

Britain said its citizen should be freed after being held for years without charges. Afghanistan's peace and reconciliation commission vowed to send a delegation to the prison to make sure Afghans are not being mistreated. China demanded custody of a group of Muslim separatists so it can prosecute them on terrorism charges.

The list, released Wednesday under orders of a federal judge in a Freedom of Information lawsuit filed by The Associated Press, may provide the first proof of life to families whose relatives have disappeared, said Antonella Notari, spokeswoman for the International Committee of the Red Cross.

About 490 detainees from about 40 countries are now at the base. The Red Cross - the only outside agency the United States has allowed to visit the detainees - previously had access to the list but was not allowed to make it public.

Four Britons have already been released without charge from Gitmo, and indeed have just released a film about their experiences.

4. I was glad to see the Philadelphia Inquirer ran this AP story today.

They rarely bother to publish anything about the real world.
