 Lawyers Opposed Questioning at Guantanamo (phillyBurbs.com)
WASHINGTON - The Pentagon has revealed that in the first year of interrogations at the U.S.-run Guantanamo Bay prison for suspected terrorists, senior military lawyers in Washington raised objections to the use of techniques that were harsher than permitted under standard military doctrine.
Di Rita described the interrogation tactics used at Guantanamo Bay earlier in 2002 as "non-doctrinal." This means they were not in accordance with the military doctrine written to apply to interrogations of prisoners of war, not terrorists.
Di Rita stressed that military commanders at Guantanamo Bay faced a difficult situation because the individuals held there - mostly Taliban and al-Qaida fighters captured during the war in Afghanistan in 2001 - were considered terrorists and could have time-sensitive information.

 GUANTANAMO BAY: Interrogators asked to use harsher methods
WASHINGTON - In late 2002, U.S. interrogators of suspected terrorists held at Guantanamo Bay sought approval to use harsher methods than are called for in standard military doctrine, and some of those techniques were used until military lawyers objected, officials said Thursday.
Larry Di Rita, spokesman for Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld, refused to identify the techniques, which he described as "non-doctrinal," meaning they were not in accordance with military doctrine, which was written to apply to interrogations of prisoners of war, not terrorists.
Di Rita stressed that military commanders at Guantanamo Bay faced a difficult situation because the individuals held there - mostly Taliban and al-Qaida fighters captured during the war in Afghanistan in late 2001 - were considered terrorists and some had time-sensitive intelligence.

On June 15 Brigadier General Janis Karpinski at the centre of the Abu Ghraib prisoner abuse in Iraq said she was told from the top to treat detainees like dogs as it is done in Guantanamo.
The location of Camp X-Ray is significant because Guantanamo Bay is leased from Cuba and is nominally subject to Cuban sovereignty, United States courts have ruled that persons detained in Guantanamo Bay do not have the access to American courts that a person detained within the United States has.
The original rulings were made for Cuban and Haitian refugees found on the high seas and sent to Guantanamo where they attempted unsuccessfully to apply for asylum and administrative hearings to avoid repatriation, but the rulings are applicable to other prisoners in Camp X-Ray according to legal precedent.

The prisoners were tried in mass televised trials, and most were released to the U.S. in exchange for $53 million in food and medicine within a year.
As a result of the U.S. failure at Bay of Pigs and the diplomatic embarrassment that ensued, President Kennedy fired long-time CIA Director Allen W. Dulles, Deputy Director Charles P. Cabell, and the one principally responsible for the operation, Deputy Director Richard Bissell.
Covert operations against Cuba continued, however, and a crop of documents declassified in March 2002 shed light on a plan (approved by U.S. Defense Secretary Robert McNamara) in which it would be made to appear that Cuba had attacked U.S. vessels and the military base at Guantanamo Bay.
