COVID-19 and military justice (Guantánamo)

Carol Rosenberg, dean-for-life of the military commissions press corps, has this report in The New York Times about the COVID-19 situation at Guantánamo. Excerpt:

A group of senators has written the defense secretary expressing concern about the potential for a “significant outbreak” of the coronavirus at the Pentagon prison at Guantánamo Bay, Cuba, seeking answers to how the military is safeguarding the 40 prisoners there and the American forces responsible for them.

In the letter, circulated by Senator Elizabeth Warren and signed by 13 other Democrats and Senator Bernie Sanders, an independent, the lawmakers cited “the lack of a comprehensive medical infrastructure” at the base, which sends all residents except the detainees to health care facilities in the United States for complex or protracted medical care.

"The military," she writes, "has said it has declined to test any of the detainees for the virus because none of them meet the criteria from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention."
