The officer declined to have his features photographed and the military forbade journalists from bringing cameras into the new field, declaring security concerns.

It's just a few steps away from the portable morgue that's being used as a water chiller. Latest media rule improvisation meant I had to have a soldier watch me take the picture, and then another member of the U.S. military, this was a sailor, inspect the photo to let me keep it. It was approved for release by the U.S. military at Guantanamo. Credit: Carol Rosenberg/The Miami Herald]]>
