It’s because They Don’t Want You To Know.

Another Gitmo manual [turns up on the web.](http://wikileaks.org/wiki/Wikileaks)

> [@](#):
>
> Wikileaks has released the 2004 Standard Operating Procedures (SOP) manual for Camp Delta, Guantánamo Bay, Cuba. The transparency group’s disclosure follows its widely reported release of the 2003 SOP manual only a few weeks ago. A comparison between the two leaks reveals changes to official US detainee policy in exquisite detail. Wikileaks has also released another related sensitive US military manual entitled “Detainee Operations in a Joint Environment”, which is a defense-wide instruction manual for detainee operations including rendition flights, which has yet to be analyzed — Wikileaks invites journalists and the public to persue it.
> 
> Corpus lawyers from the Center for Constitutional Rights examined the 2004 SOP manual. Among the key details found so far are:
> 
> 1. Non-compliance with the Geneva Conventions remains official US Policy,
> 
> 2. Extraordinary increases in petty restrictions.
> 
> 3. Increased hostility towards chaplains and Red Cross.
> 
> 4. “Medium security” Camp 4 exposed as media sideshow.
> 
> 5. “Don’t do that again!” changes provide evidence for abuses.
> 
> 6. Changes reveal extent of suicide and self-harm attempts among detainees.
> 
> 7. Pervasive spin via language control
