A spokesman at the Pakistani embassy in Washington, Asad Hayauddin, said his country had not been formally notified, but any Pakistani detainees would be treated like returning prisoners of war. "We vetted them once," he said, explaining that his country did not believe any of the Pakistanis at Guantanamo Bay were terrorists. "Nothing will happen to them now. They will be treated just like a PoW is treated. They will be debriefed, and then repatriated." {{cite news}}: Check date values in: |date= (help)

The Pentagon denied that the decision was linked to complaints over the treatment of the prisoners. It said it was simply expanding its facilities to accommodate more Taliban and al-Qa'eda fighters. Military sources said the pause would not last for long. There are currently 158 detainees at the base, which until yesterday had room for only 160.

[edit]

I restored some links in entries for individuals whose articles had been deleted.

These individuals were known by so many names. But they each have an unique ISN. Removing the ISN x for a captive is, in my opinion, a mistake. Even if an individual's article has been deleted we still want to be able to use the "what links here" feature to see which other articles talk about them.

unexplained tag

[edit]

User:Cresix left this tag in May. I think it is too vague to be helpful. I went to User talk:Cresix, to request they expand on their concerns on the talk page -- and found that they appear to have resigned not long after leaving the note.

After a reasonable period of time, if it remains unexplained, I think this tag should be removed. Geo Swan (talk) 11:43, 30 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

identity confusion

[edit]

Someone piped wikilinks to Placeholder name#Fnu Lnu. This is precisely why wikilinks to subsection heading should be banned from article space.

The article Placeholder name may once have had a subsection #Fnu Lnu. If so, someone else came along, and removed that subsection, or gave it a different name. The wikimedia software, as currently implemented, provides no warning to a contributor, when removing or changing a subsection heading will break a link.

I changed this to point to Fnu Lnu (JTF-GTMO) -- a redlink. Is this a likely article topic? Maybe -- when someone documents the dangerous identity confusion at Guantanamo, due to their laughable inability to distinguish between men with the same name.
