Leaked Guantanamo SOP
November 8th, 2007
Just leaked, via Wikileaks, is the Guantanamo Standard Operating Procedure (SOP dated March 28, 2003. I have only read a little bit so far, but here is what Wikileaks says [note that "Major Miller" is in fact Maj. General Geoffrey Miller, the man infamous for "Gitmoizing" Abu Ghraib]:
Joint Task Force Guantanamo (JTF-GTMO) standard operating procedures (SOP) for Camp Delta (Guantanamo Bay prison). This is the primary document for the operation of Guantanamo bay, including the securing and treatment of detainees. The document is extensive and includes, in addition to its text, forms, identity cards and even muslim burial diagrams. It is signed by Major Miller, who Donald Rumsfeld later sent to Abu Ghraib to “Gitmoize it”. It is the subject of an ongoing legal action between the ACLU, who has been trying to obtain the document, and the Department of Defense, who has withheld it in full.

OK, I just read a few chapters and subchapters from this Reg. I’ve serving in the u.s.military for more than 18 1/2 years, it makes perfect sense to me.
Don’t you realize how dangerous these men are that are being detained in Gitmo? They aren’t being detained because they ripped-off a gas station. These men would like to see you DEAD…….And they would do anything to kill an American.
These soldiers at Gitmo are performing a very difficult mission, one slip-up and they could be killed.
Maybe we should treat them (detainees) as if they have only committed a misdemeanor crime?
Give the Joes a break, they’re doing their friggin’ job. And hoping to get home to their loved-ones at the end of their tour. Yeah, we in the military make those kind of sacrifices, so that politicians, newsmen and evry dirtbag can criticize our government.
Give the Joe a break, he’s at Gitmo protecting you. Doing what others won’t step up to the plate to do, making sacrifices.
Give the Joe a break.
Just another Joe
