Tom Lasseter, of McClatchy Newspapers: "Because the Bush administration set up Guantanamo under special rules that allowed indefinite detention without charges or federal court challenge, it's impossible to know how many of the 770 men who've been held there were terrorists. A series of White House directives placed 'suspected enemy combatants' beyond the reach of US law or the 1949 Geneva Conventions' protections for prisoners of war. President Bush and Congress then passed legislation that protected those detention rules."
