An eight-month McClatchy investigation of the detention system created after the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks has found that the U.S. imprisoned innocent men, subjected them to abuse, stripped them of their legal rights and allowed Islamic militants to turn the prison camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba into a school for jihad. Here's a guide to the contents of our online report.

  • Day One: We got the wrong guys
  • Day Two: 'I guess you can call it torture'
  • SIGN UP

  • Day Three: A school for Jihad
  • Day Four: 'Due process is legal mumbo-jumbo'
  • Day Five: 'You are the king of this prison'
  • DETAINEES PROFILE DATABASE: Read profiles and data cards of 66 former U.S. detainees. Many have photos, audio or video.
