You'd be suprised how far it CAN go, Max. Considering the fact that the detainees at GTMO are "in the spotlight", so to speak, of the world, do you really think that those in command are really going to chance any mallevolent, behind-the-scenes conspiracy? In addition, with our country being the so-called leader in the fight to ensure human rights, do you think we'd risk this level of hypocrisy for all the world to see? Even though they may hold their cards a little closer to the vest, the military PAO is just as susceptible to media scrutiny as any civilian entity. Really Max, that sounds more like a movie of the week and less like your normal, rational thought.
