Al-Qaeda suspects at Camp X-Ray in Cuba, who have been held by US forces for two months, have been warned that they face the death penalty although no evidence has been given against them.
US Defence Secretary Donald Rumsfeld said he still had no idea how they would be dealt with.
He said they could be prosecuted by military tribunal, in US criminal courts, tried in their home countries, released or detained indefinitely.
America has refused to give in to international pressure to improve conditions. The prisoners are gagged, bound and blindfolded and not allowed lawyers. Almost two thirds of the 300 detainees have been on a a hunger strike for five days. The protest started after a praying prisoner was stripped of his makeshift turban.
Amnesty International said the hunger strike showed the dangers of the "legal limbo into which the prisoners have been thrown". The human rights campaign group urged the US government to allow them the right to challenge their detention.
