White House Criticizes News Organizations For Release of Guantánamo Files 
---------------------------------------------------------------------------



The White House is publicly criticizing news organizations for
publishing leaked files about the U.S. military base at Guantánamo Bay,
Cuba, that were first obtained by the whistleblowing website Wiki Leaks.
The documents reveal the United States has held 150 innocent men at the
base. White House Press Secretary Jay Carney commented to the press.

White House spokesman Jay Carney: "On the release of classified
information, we condemn in the strongest possible terms and we think
it's unfortunate that the New York Times and other news organizations
have made the decision to publish documents obtained illegally
concerning the detention facility at Guantánamo Bay."
