BY PAULINE JELINEK
TUB ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon
won’t say how many prisoners it
holds at the U.S. jail for terrorism
suspects in Guantanamo Bay,
Cuba. The State Department
won’t estimate the prospects that
other nations will take inmates
home and deal with them them
■ selves.
Two years after a U.S.-led coali
tion began capturing suspects in
the war on terror, international
impatience is growing over the
pace of progress at Guantanamo.
"The word that occurs to me is
stalled. It has stalled,” Amnesty
International’s Alistair Hodgett
said.
Diplomats of countries whose
citizens are being held suggest
U.S. officials have been side
tracked by their own problem —
an investigation of possible espi
onage by prison staff at the U.S.
Navy facility.
Meanwhile, the International
Committee of the Red Cross says
the mental health of a large num
ber of inmates is deteriorating.
The organization didn’t give num
bers, nor does the Pentagon, say
ing only there are "about 660” in
mates.
Senior U.S. officials deny
progress is stalled. They say au
thorities are working quickly to
determine which prisoners will be
prosecuted in U.S. military tri
bunals and who will be released,
held indefinitely or sent to their

ued detention.
President Bush has said his ad
ministration is talking with sev
eral countries. The effort is being
expedited, but the public is un
aware of it, according to one offi
cial speaking on condition of
anonymity.
Six months ago, authorities ap
peared to be making strides.
Dozens of cases were resolved
after Secretary of State Colin
Powell complained to the Defense
Department that allies were be
ing alienated over the long deten
tions of their citizens, without
charges or benefit of lawyers.
From May to early July, 40 de
tainees were freed, most to
Afghanistan. In addition, four
Saudis went home for continued
detention.
Despite a statement in August
that three juveniles would be rec
ommended for release "very
soon,” they remain imprisoned.
There are no other cases known
to have been resolved in nearly
three months.
In July, Bush announced he’d
chosen six possible candidates for
military tribunals. But f^e trials
were put on hold almost immedi
ately when Britain sought nego
tiations on tribunal rules, written
by the Pentagon and decried as
unfair by U.S. friends and critics
alike.
The prisoners come from some
40 countries, and several foreign
governments have said publicly
that they’re willing to take their
citizens home to prosecute. Some
say they’re pressing to resolve the
cases, but what that means is un
clear since few give details about
talks with Washington.
Legal experts say repatriation
is turning out to be difficult. They
say the United States will have a
hard time sending many de- J(
tainees back to their home coun
tries because they don’t have
laws under which to prosecute
the men, mostly said to be al
Qaida and Taliban foot soldiers.
The long detentions and repeat
ed interrogations without attor
neys will make trials impossible
in some places as well, lawyers
say.
American and Afghan forces
began capturing prisoners shortly
after the war against al-Qaida
started in Afghanistan in October
2001. They began transferring
them to Guantanamo in January
2002.
The detainees are questioned
for information on any future ter
rorist attacks. Releases are possi- -j
KIp frtr* +Vir»cp wVinm offip.ialc rlppiHp
won’t be prosecuted, those no
longer a threat and those no
longer useful for intelligence, of
ficials have said.
Officials complained last year
that it took months to make head
way in interrogations because of
prisoner stonewalling and decep
tion.
Cases are being reviewed by
agencies including the Justice and
State departments, the Pentagon,
the CIA and the Bureau of
Citizenship and Immigration
Services — each with its own in
terests.
In addition, the espionage in
vestigation, which involved the
arrests of two translators, forced
U.S. officials to review past inter
rogations for fear they may have i
been tainted. '
Human rights groups said they
want the prisoners tried or re
leased. They said they also want
inmates told when to expect some
decisions.
And the Red Cross took the un
usual step in recent months of
publicly airing its concerns.
"After more than eighteen
months of captivity, the internees
still have no idea about their fate,
and no means of recourse through
any legal mechanism,” the Red
Cross sa§¥ {
