The New York Times posts online a series of articles under the heading “The Guantanamo Files“: The articles, which will appear in Monday’s edition of the newspaper, are headlined “Classified Files Offer New Insights Into Detainees“; “Judging Detainees’ Risk, Often With Flawed Evidence“; “As Acts of War or Despair, Suicides Rattle a Prison“; and “Libyan Shifts From Detainee to Rebel, and U.S. Ally of Sorts.”

Tomorrow’s newspaper will also contain “A Note to Readers: The Background” and “A Statement by the United States Government.”

Additional coverage, which The New York Times describes as “based on a huge trove of secret documents leaked last year to the anti-secrecy organization WikiLeaks and made available to The New York Times by another source on the condition of anonymity,” is available from National Public Radio in articles headlined “Military Documents Detail Life At Guantanamo” and “Detainees Transferred Or Freed Despite ‘High Risk.’
