The Washington Post reports:
A Pentagon review of conditions at the Guantanamo Bay military
prison has concluded that the treatment of detainees meets the
requirements of the Geneva Conventions but that prisoners in the
highest-security camps should be allowed more religious and social
interaction, according to a government official who has read the
85-page document.
The report, which President Obama ordered, was prepared by Adm.
Patrick M. Walsh, the vice chief of naval operations, and has been
delivered to the White House. Obama requested the review as part of
an executive order on the planned closure of the prison at the U.S.
naval base at Guantanamo Bay, on the southeastern tip of Cuba.
