WHILE public affairs officers these days are going to
great lengths to talk about how docile the prisoners
are, detainees have been
reported biting a guard, spitting, and threatening to
kill Americans. When I skirt away from my minders and
visit the Marine snipers'
tent, I learn it went well beyond that.
The snipers, of course, are the camp's deadliest
sharpshooters, ropy young bucks (21-23 years of age)
who seem largely culled from
the western or southern United States, where firearms
are often regarded as extra appendages. Their tent
looks like a Marines-issued
college dorm room: Skoal-juice bottles, laundry
hanging everywhere, and a spade-like sniper insignia
banner tacked to a tent wall. If
there is a prison uprising, it is these gentleman who
will man the guard towers and introduce the rioters to
their 72 black-eyed virgins.
At some point, that might become necessary, they tell
me, as plotting is obviously afoot. Sgt. Matt Lampert
of Montana says the other
day one of the prisoners was caught "with a piece of
cloth stuffed with rocks that was tied off at the end."
Sgt. Rodney Davis says
that during chowtime, he sees them through his scope
"making terrain models out of their food." And unlike
say, Afghan prisons,
where starving detainees are reportedly begging to be
sent to Gitmo, there's plenty of food to play with.
"They get fed better than us,
sir," says Lampert. When I ask the Marines if they've
seen anything weird, they laugh sheepishly, looking at
each other. Finally, Sgt.
Josh Westbrook, who sports a forearm tattoo of flaming
baby heads, steps up. "They know they're being
watched," he explains, "so
they'll stare at you, and while they stare at you,
they'll, uh, masturbate."
According to these Marines, they don't just pleasure
themselves to freak out the snipers, but also to
embarrass the female Army
guards in the camp's interior. The weirdness doesn't
end there. They've also eaten their toiletries and
urinated on equipment. "The
other day," says Westbrook, "one of the guys tried to
do a naked cartwheel." In the most bizarre twist, Lance
Corporal Devin Klebaur
says a few have also been known to "put toothpaste in
their ass." "What's the purpose?" I ask. "I'm not
sure," he says, puzzled.
