Major General Jay W Hood, the commanding officer of Joint Task Force Gitmo  receives the media group at Guantanamo Bay's Camp Delta that holds Alqaeda and Taliban suspects called 'enemy combatants'. Several Washington-based Muslim journalists were flown to the internment camps. For the media group, it was a long trip to Guantanamo: a five-hour drive to the Norfolk naval base in Virginia, rushed to the Langley air force base at 3.00 in the morning, another 4.30-hour flight to Guantanamo with a brief stopover in Jacksonville, Florida. Gen Hood replaced Maj-Gen Geoffrey Miller, who was accused of allowing prison abuses in Guantanamo and later at Iraq’s Abu Ghraib prison.
