Pentagon Orders U.S. Reporters to Exit Guantanamo
In the aftermath of the three suicides at the controversial Guantanamo prison facility in Cuba last Saturday, reporters with the Los Angeles Times and the Miami Herald were ordered by the office of Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld to leave the island today.

A third reporter and a photographer with the Charlotte Observer were given the option of staying until Saturday but, E&P has learned, were told that their access to the prison camp was now denied.

1. They should report there

was only fraternity hazing before the camp was viciously attacked by inmate suicides. Club Gitmo I hear it's called.

2. Hiding something, Rummy?
That's the only common-sense reason for the Pentagoon to kick out reporters at Gitmo. They're afraid the journalists might find out the truth and rat them out.
