Defense Department Lets Fox News Into Guantanamo...
Last week, the Pentagon "shut down access entirely" to the Guantanamo Bay prison after the suicide deaths of three detainees.

Human rights groups protested:
This press crackdown is the administration's latest betrayal of fundamental American values. The Bush Administration is afraid of American reporters, afraid of American attorneys and afraid of American laws.
