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.

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.
why were they ever allowed there in the first place???
Nah, the question is, why were they not PUT there in the first place?
0dunga doesn’t want the media there when he gives the ILLEGAL order to finally empty the joint without Congress’ knowledge. Why NOW? Put 2 and 2 together.
This is wrong. This is so wrong.
They should let them in
and never let them out!
I’m betting the real reason they don’t want the media in is because most or all of the real prisoners are gone.
is that so they liars and sobs in govt can slip the bastards out the back and when everyone is gone shut off the lights and declare it closed as our lord in the black house has deem good for the country...and HIS legacy?
They don't want them interviewing the goat herd...
great...now that there’s nobody left....
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.
About time!!!
We’ll know when Obama has emptied Gitmo ,he’ll visit Cuba
I believe Bozo’s gonna make his move and give it back to.... Cuba.
He’s so much like Jimmah Cahta.
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.
