Guantanamo Guard Commander Defends Prison Water
Worldwide, Daily news | ankakh | March 29, 2013 7:59
The guard force commander at Guantanamo Bay says there’s nothing wrong with the tap water there despite prisoner claims to the contrary.
Army Col. John Bogdan says water is desalinated on the U.S. base in Cuba and checked at least once a month to make sure it’s safe. Bogdan says in a sworn statement that “It is the same water that I drink daily.”
The government filed the statement Thursday in federal court in Washington in response to claims by prisoners that they have been denied water and that the air conditioning was being kept frigid to punish them during a hunger strike. The military disputes the claims and says prisoners are also offered bottled water.
The military says 33 of the 166 prisoners are on hunger strike.
