Prodigy, 21, about to become doctor
WASHINGTON, Feb. 26 (UPI) -- The Pentagon says it will comply with a judge's order to release the names and nationalities of hundreds of detainees held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Lt. Cmdr. Joe Carpenter, a Pentagon spokesman, told The New York Times Saturday that the Defense and Justice departments were coordinating the effort to release the unedited transcripts of military tribunal hearings held to determine whether the detainees at Guantanamo had been properly categorized as enemy combatants.
Last year, the Pentagon released transcripts of 558 tribunals, but blacked out names and other identifying information about the prisoners.
The Pentagon and Justice Department had objected to releasing the names of the detainees, citing privacy and security concerns, the newspaper said.
