Judge orders release of Guantanamo detainee identities by March
U S judge Jed Rakoff in New York ordered the Defense Department to produce uncensored transcripts from Guantanamo detainee hearings by March 3, revealing names of those in custody and those released. About 450 prisoners are held on suspected ties to al Qaeda or the Taliban. The AP has fought for disclosure since 2004, arguing public access and the rule of law require transparency. The decision marks a shift toward mainstream judicial scrutiny of Guantanamo detentions.
