Press coverage of the Combatant Status Review Tribunals was limited. The unclassified sessions were, in theory, open to members of the Press who had been cleared to visit the Guantanamo Bay Naval Base, in Cuba. In a press briefing on March 6 2007 a "Senior Defense official" acknowledged that members of the Press observed the unclassified sessions of just 37 of the 557 Combatant Status Review Tribunals that were held in the fall of 2004 and early winter of 2005.[4]
Reporters who did attend the Tribunals weren't allowed to know the names of the captives whose Tribunals they observed.
While they were allowed to observe, they routinely weren't given any notice of the Tribunals convening.
