2 Guards at Guantanamo Disciplined
Promising a broader investigation, the U.S. military acknowledged Wednesday that two guards at the prison camp at the U.S. base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, had been disciplined in connection with allegations of prisoner abuse.
Air Force Capt. Laurie Arellano, a spokeswoman at Southern Command in Miami, said a third guard had been exonerated.
The two guards were given administrative punishments, which often range from letters of reprimand to base restrictions, she said. It was not clear what type of abuse was at issue.
