Bush Reconsiders Stand on Treating Captives of War
Mr. Bush attempted to dismiss the issue today as a small legal distinction. "I will listen to all the legalisms and announce my decision when I make it," he said.

But several governments are now seeking the return of their citizens who are being held at Guantánamo Bay. Mr. Bush said today that he would "consider" such requests, but administration officials made it clear that none of the captives were leaving Cuba soon.

Saudi Arabia's interior minister said today that the United States was holding "more than 100" Saudi citizens at Guantánamo Bay. American officials have not publicly confirmed the identities of the prisoners or their nationalities, on the grounds that their identities could signal to the enemy what information could be gleaned from interrogating them. But a senior administration official said tonight that the number given by the Saudis "sounds too high."

Citizens of at least 25 countries make up the population of 158 captives at the prison compound. The countries include Britain, Australia, France, Belgium, Sweden, Algeria, Yemen, Afghanistan and Pakistan, according to ministers from those countries.
