Advocates push for full revision of Army Field Manual Appendix M
Advocates and international rights groups urge stripping Appendix M from the Army Field Manual during a congressionally mandated review. They argue it allows sleep deprivation and other techniques that amount to a loophole to the ban on torture, while officials defend humane treatment and proper application of the manual.

Guantanamo housing deteriorating says Southern Command chief
Navy Adm. Kurt Tidd told Congress that Guantanamo facilities, especially peripheral housing for 1,700 troops, are deteriorating rapidly due to environment and limited funding. He noted a prior $231 million build plan was mostly canceled and cited 24 million spent last year on sustainment. He also disclosed 15 gender discrimination complaints involving a judge's no-contact order for five detainee lawyers, with debate over lifting the ban.
