WikiLeaks on Sunday began publishing from a collection of 779 classified reports on current and former prisoners of America's military prison in Guantánamo Bay, Cuba.

The documents date from 2002 to 2008, and take the form of Secret-level memoranda sent from JTF-GTMO, the Joint Task Force at Guantánamo, to the U.S. Southern Command in Florida.

The Obama administration protested the partial publication of the documents by several news organizations Sunday. "These documents contain classified information about current and former GTMO detainees, and we strongly condemn the leaking of this sensitive information," read an official statement published in the New York Times, one of the newspapers that reported from an advance copy of the documents.

The Washington Post reports that the leaked files contains new details on the location and organization of al-Qaida's leadership before and after the September 11 attacks.

"According to the documents, [Osama] bin Laden and his deputy escaped from Tora Bora in mid-December 2001," the Post notes. "At the time, the al-Qaeda leader was apparently so strapped for cash that he borrowed $7,000 from one of his protectors - a sum he paid back within a year."
