U.S. Releases Names of Guantanamo Detainees

Faced with a court order, the U.S. has finally released the names of hundreds of detainees held at Guantanamo.

Human rights activists say this new information should make it easier to piece together the personal histories of the detainees - and for the first time to build a big picture of who is held at the camps, and why they are there.

What the documents do not do is shed light on speculation that there are other prisoners, known as "ghost" detainees, at the camp. If a prisoner at the camp has not had a CSRT they will not feature in the transcripts.
