06/16/04 Detention Chief Defends GTMO Navy Flag

Military officials in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba have turned over more than 500 hours of videotape that document teams of guards using immediate response forces or IRFs on prisoners who refuse to leave their cells.

While reporters have not been allowed to see the tapes, officials say the tapes show how four unarmed guards restrain the detainee's arms and legs while a fifth unarmed guard places shackles and handcuffs on the detainee. The video footage eventually will end up in the hands of congressional investigators and the pentagon.
