Military 'dealt swiftly' with Guantanamo abuse complaints

Military chiefs responsible for running the Guantanamo Bay prison housing Taliban and al-Qaida suspects said cases of prisoner abuse were dealt with quickly to prevent the type of scandal plaguing US officials in Iraq.

One prisoner was pepper-sprayed, another was hit repeatedly with a clock radio and a third was hosed down by a guard at the Cuba camp where 600 men are being held for alleged ties to Afghanistan’s fallen Taliban regime or Osama bin Laden’s al-Qaida terror network.
