These efforts at propaganda seem particularly amateurish, as if a staff member was ordered to post puff pieces and was interested in impressing a superior officer. About these efforts, Shayana Kadidal, Managing Attorney of the Center for Constitutional Rights Guantanamo Global Justice Initiative said:
"The military's efforts to alter the record by vandalizing Wikipedia are of a piece with the amateurism of their other public relations efforts: their ridiculous claims that released detainees who criticize the United States in the media have 'returned to the battlefield."However, these efforts suggest a concern for their public image among GTMO staff. It would seem they have a sense of the scorn with which the prison is viewed around the world. Propaganda efforts like these will do little to improve that image.
