U.S. appeals court reinstates new Guantanamo detainee searches

A U.S. appeals court on Wednesday reinstated a military method for searching Guantanamo Bay detainees.

The searches, initiated in the last few months, included frisking of the groin and anal areas before detainees are taken from their cells to meetings or to phone calls with their lawyers, and after they return.

Lawyers for Guantanamo prisoners say some detainees found the new searches so disrespectful toward their religion that they choose to forgo talking to their lawyers to avoid them.

In a one-sentence order, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit stayed a ruling by U.S. District Judge Royce Lamberth last week that had halted the searches and asked for further written briefing.

The Obama administration had filed emergency papers on Wednesday asking the appeals court to let the searches resume.

Thanks Oldeconomybuyer.

I think the frisking should be done using a live wood chipper, just to be thorough.
