New limits are being imposed on media access to the detention center at the U.S. base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the commander of the military's Southern Command said Thursday, outlining rules that will limit what journalists can see and how often they can visit the already highly restricted site.

Journalists will be allowed to visit the center on tours that will be organized once per quarter, lasting no more than a day, and they will no longer be able to visit inside the two detention center camps where a majority of the 107 current prisoners are held, Marine Corps Gen. John F. Kelly said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Kelly said the main reason for the change was that media tours were straining the detention center staff, which has been dealing with an increasing number of visits by members of Congress and foreign delegations from countries where prisoners may be resettled as part of an effort to reduce the prison population. ...

It’s not a zoo. I don’t see why they need over and over access...to be sure we aren’t water boarding? Once you see the facility, what else to see?

More dirty deeds being covered up.

They probably have orders from king Opie to let the Muzzie killers free to walk around the base on their own.

I’m betting the real reason they don’t want the media in is because most or all of the real prisoners are gone.

Good. Now take away their Korrunz, prayer security-blankies, and hal-hal foods. Make them eat the same food The Mooch makes publik skools serve our kids! Who do these jihadistis they think they are, polititions or union bosses?

No wonder they think they can kill americans with impunity. We appear to cower before their every demand and meekly give it to them.

He otta give it back to Spain. That’s who we took it away from. I wonder what Castro would think about that.

I don’t recognize the Castro’s sovereignty over that area myself. They weren’t signatories to either the 1903 or the 1934 treaties, so it wouldn’t be given “back” to them but handed to them for the first time in history.
