According to a Salon.com article on June 24, 2008: “While the exact number of juvenile detainees [in the war on terror] may never fully be known since the DOD [Department of Defense] does not follow international law in the categorization of adults and children, government records reveal that more than twenty detainees under the age of 18 had been sent to Guantanamo.”
