More Media Access Allowed at Guantanamo
The Miami Herald reports that Guantanamo is granting the media greater access to facilities at Guantanamo:
For the first time since terrorism suspects were brought to the base two years ago, authorities in recent weeks opened the door to rooms used for interrogations, provided limited information on efforts to gather intelligence from prisoners and showed off a courtroom where military tribunals likely will be conducted.
They also allowed some photographs of restricted areas and permitted interviews with interrogators and others who deal with the prisoners. The new access comes as attorneys for the families of 16 captives are seeking access to federal courts to challenge their indefinite detention. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear oral arguments on April 20.
