Nov. 16, 2004 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 3670
State Department memo addressing the release of January 2002 photographs of unidentified Guantanamo detainees at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. The memo states that although there was criticism of the release of the photo(s) the release was not a violation of the Geneva Convention's prohibition against making prisoners a "public curiosity" because that was not the intent, factual circumstances and no photographs that show their recognizable face, nametag or other identifying feature.
