U.S. Soldiers At Gitmo Take Time Off From Torture

07:44 H | Topics: Controversia - Cuba - Internet - Justice - Politics

It seems as if our troops in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba may have too much free time on their hands because they have time to log on to Wikipedia and make some questionable edits. Some of those edits question Cuban president Fidel Castro's sexuality.

Specifically, the Associated Press, the New York Daily News, and ZDNet have stories up about the changes Gitmo servicemembers have been making to Wikipedia; comments to articles about Gitmo detainees. Some of the changes on Wikipedia, per the articles:
- "Fidel Castro is an admitted transexual" (misspelling the word transsexual)
- deleted prisoner identification numbers from three detainee profiles (example: Prisoner No. 766, Canadian-born Omar Khadr. Khadr, 21, who has been held since 2002 and accused of killing a Special Forces medic in Afghanistan)
- changed the phrase "invasion of Afghanistan" to "war in Afghanistan."
