Leaked rules detail rewards and penalties at Guantánamo.
Military claims its out of date, but still should not have been released, for fear it might "give the 'enemy' an advantage".
The inner workings of the Guantánamo detention camp, ranging from items allowed in cells to how many witnesses should be present for cavity searches, have been revealed in a Pentagon manual leaked on the internet. The manual covers almost every aspect of life at the base, from arrival to burial - with a graphic showing how Muslims should be buried.Although the manual dates from 2003, the year after the camp at the US navy base in Cuba opened and before some changes in its running were implemented, it offers a rare glimpse of life in the high-security camp. The 238 pages list the rules governing the daily life of the prisoners but also provide insights into how the US guards and interrogators view the inmates.
