Situation Report
GUANTANAMO BAY — The commander of Joint Task Force Guantanamo has decided to remove a detainee live-action Christmas diorama from the base's Seaside Galley after a massive outcry from human rights groups, Duffel Blog has learned.
Rear Admiral Richard Butler said that he decided to move the exhibit after concluding that it was "wholly inappropriate to the values we hold here aboard GTMO."
He spoke with Duffel Blog as he ate breakfast less than three yards from four detainees who were trained to kill him.
The diorama was originally of a nativity scene and featured multiple detainees who were temporarily transferred to the chow hall under Borrowed Military Manpower from the camps of Joint Task Force Guantanamo.
