In news from Guantanamo, the Marines Corps has put a gag order on a top Marine lawyer and a paralegal after they disclosed new allegations about widespread abuse at the prison. Last week the paralegal — who serves in the Marines — filed a sworn statement saying that guards at the prison bragged to her about beating detainees. One guard reportedly admitted taking a prisoner by the head and hitting the prisoner’s head into the cell door. Other guards talked about hitting prisoners, punching them in the face and denying them water.
