Revealed: The 44 Guantanamo Bay inmates too dangerous to release
Freedom of Information request forces authorities to name
terror suspects held for the last 12 years

The United States government has identified for the first
time the several dozen inmates at the deeply troubled
prison facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba whom it
considers too dangerous to release but also too difficult
to prosecute or ever put on trial.
The names of the men, who seem unlikely ever to regain
their freedom, were released in response to a Freedom of
Information request by the Miami Herald. There were 46
inmates originally put into the category of being beyond
prosecution by an inter-agency panel in 2010. Since then,
two have died, one from a heart attack and another from
suicide.
There are currently 166 prisoners still at the Guantanamo
facility which was filled with terror suspects in the
wake of the September 2001 terror attacks. What to do
about them remains nearly twelve years later and has
become a deeply awkward quandary for Washington. Matters
now are being made still more difficult � and urgent �
because of a hunger strike that continues to rage inside
the prison walls. Currently 104 detainees are
participating in the protest and 44 are being force-fed
nutritional liquids through nose tubes.
