Aug. 19, 2003 | DOS | ACLU-RDI 4405
State Department cable providing a letter to be delivered to attorneys representing family members of certain persons being held at Guantanamo as Enemy Combatants. The letter states that the U.S. is not providing specific information on individual detainees, but that all detainees are being held in accordance with the laws and customs of war and under humane conditions consistent with the Geneva Conventions, although they are not considered Prisoners of War (POWs). The men are being fed culturally appropriate meals; they have the right to worship; and are visited regularly by the International Committee for the Red Cross (ICRC).
