"Guantanamo's Forgotten Souls of War without End" (Irish Independent, February 17, 2006) flatly states that "there are no women detainees at Guantanamo."

[excerpt]

"During a rare visit by journalists this week to Camp Delta, the sprawling, heavily-guarded network of buildings where the inmates are held, I found a variety of detainees of varying ages and backgrounds still trying to come to terms with their incongruous surroundings on a Caribbean island.

"I came across an elderly Pashtun tribesman with an immaculately groomed long, white beard and fierce, brown eyes, standing proudly outside his prison cell. There was a group of young Pakistani men in their early twenties engaged in a highly competitive game of football.

"These, according to American officials, are some of the most dangerous men on earth (there are no women detainees at Guantanamo)."

But who can really say for sure?
