Guantanamo Manual Leaked Online

Wired is carrying the news that Wikileak.org, a website that encourages corporate and government whistle-blowers to post documents online anonymously, has last week published the U.S. government manual for Guantanamo detainees, the Camp Delta Standard Operating Procedures. It’s not a classified document, but unlike the publication of the military’s Counterinsurgency Manual by the University of Chicago Press, this one was not intended for public consumption.

Here is the link to the PDF. However, I cannot get the wikileaks website to work to see the document myself. Overwhelmed by traffic or blocked by nefarious secret forces? If you’re really keen to see it, you can download it as a bit torrent (8.4 MB). (Bit torrents usually get bad press for facilitating copyright infringement but this is reminder of something legal that they’re good for.)
