Jan. 30, 2002 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 3559
State Department Cable to the overseas US Missions with information and talking points to address questions raised by allies in relation to and over the legal status, treatment and detention of detainees at Guantanamo. Specifically, the cable states that the legal status of the detainees is being reviewed, they are provided with humane treatment, including “culturally appropriate" meals, and that the International Committee for the Red Cross is being given access to the detainees while they are at Guantanamo. The cable reminds the Missions that these are “very dangerous” people and that their crimes are still being investigated.
