We are building
facilities in Guantanamo more appropriate for housing the detainees on a
long-term basis. The detainees now at Guantanamo are being housed in
temporary open-air shelters until these more long-term facilities can be
arranged. Their current shelters are reasonable in light of the serious
security risk posed by these detainees and the mild climate of Cuba. |

"Military and civilian members
are expected to abide by the highest standards, and when their actions
contradict these standards, appropriate action will be taken. The command
has made it very clear that any incidents of abuse will not be
tolerated," |
