Here Is a List of Everyone Currently Rotting in Guantanamo Bay

Thanks to a Freedom of Information Act request from New York Times reporter Charlie Savage, the U.S. Department of Justice today released—with certain classified omissions—a list of its Guantanamo Bay detainees and their formerly shrouded detention statuses. The Miami Herald, which also requested a copy of the documents, reports that included on the list are 48 so-called "indefinite detainees," Guantanamo captives who remain imprisoned but ineligible for trial or transfer "pursuant to the Authorization for Use of Military Force (2001)."

Some Gitmo prisoners, including some indefinite detainees, are now in their third month of hunger striking to protest their captivity. As of Friday the strike had grown to include 104 of the jail's 166 prisoners, according to the Associated Press.
