Name discrepancies in two released lists of prisoners
Two lists of Guantanamo prisoners were made public by the Department of Defense in the Spring of 2006. One of these lists was released on April 19 and the other on May 15. These lists do not always assign the same name to the same Internment Serial Number (ISN). In some cases, the differences between the names reflect alternate spellings or typographical mistakes; in others, one of the two names is a simple extension of the other. In many cases, however, the names are simply incompatible with each other. In some of these, they do not even share a single given name or a single surname.
Setting aside alternate spellings, these discrepancies are indicated in the table below. Our Testimonies of the Prisoners main page includes all the names that, as far as we are aware of, have been associated to each ISN.
