Leaked Guantanamo files reveal details
More than 700 leaked secret files on the Guantanamo detainees lay bare the inner workings of America s controversial prison camp in Cuba.
The secret documents revealed that most of the 172 remaining prisoners have been rated as a “high risk” of posing a threat to the United States and its allies if released without adequate rehabilitation and supervision.
The documents are silent about the use of the harsh interrogation tactics at Guantanamo that drew global condemnation. US President Barack Obama pledged two years ago to close the prison but it remains in legal limbo.
Obama administration officials condemned the leaking of the documents but said the material is out of date.
