The editorial published on December 31, “Guantánamo's medical victims,” was based entirely on my investigative work. Yet your editors failed to provide me with credit. I request that you immediately correct this and include links to my investigative reports and state explicitly where the information derived from.

Here are the links: >http://www.truth-out.org/controversial-drug-given-all-guantanamo-detainees-amounted-pharmacologic-waterboarding6558

Jason Leopold,

Deputy Managing Editor/Reporter,

The editorial drew on several sources, including relevant science journal articles that are credited. We thank Mr. Leopold for contacting us and are happy to credit his investigative work (the link is given in his letter) as an important source drawn upon. It should have been credited in the body of the editorial.

Editor-in-Chief,
