Updated March 2015. Recently, a reader wanted to buy a signed copy of my book The Guantánamo Files in the United States, which threw me into something of a quandary. Normally, I would advise anyone wanting to buy a copy of any of my books outside the UK to check out online retailers (Amazon, for […]

Please support my work! In March 2009, I published a four-part list identifying all 779 prisoners held at Guantánamo since the prison opened on January 11, 2002, which I updated in January this year. To keep up with developments over the last six months, I have now updated it again, and the four parts of […]

Please support my work! Yesterday I published a list, with links, of all my articles over the last six months in chronological order, as the latest installment of a project to list all my articles in chronological order, which I began in January, when I published five lists covering the period from May 2007 (when […]

Please support my work! For over four years, I have been providing detailed information about the prisoners in Guantánamo, first through my book The Guantánamo Files, which tells the story of the prison and around 450 of the prisoners held, and then through 12 online chapters, which provide information about the majority of the other […]

Please support my work! My thanks to everyone who supported my recent “Guantánamo Habeas Week” project, which, due to the scale of the project and some scheduling difficulties, actually ran for three weeks, with an introduction here, an interactive list of all 47 cases to date, and six detailed articles examining the unclassified opinions in […]

Regular readers will be aware that, on occasion, I take a break from my relentless reporting about Guantánamo and other crimes committed as part of the “War on Terror” to discuss the current state of journalism, and to mention how, as a freelance journalist working mainly in the new media, I am profoundly impressed by […]

Please support my work! NOTE: This list has now been superseded by a dedicated page, “Guantánamo Habeas Results: The Definitive List,” which will be used to monitor the ongoing habeas rulings. As part of my series, “Guantánamo Habeas Week” (introduced here, and expanded, on April 23, to become “Guantánamo Habeas Fortnight”), it’s my pleasure to […]

Please support my work! I recently passed another milestone as an independent journalist working mainly in the new media (and the very old media of writing books). My 800th blog post since I began writing about Guantánamo and related issues as a journalist nearly three years ago (following the 14 months I spent researching and […]
