So Castro is an admitted transexual?

WASHINGTON--The US detention facility at Guantanamo Bay has been caught conducting covert propaganda attacks on the internet. The attacks, exposed this week in a report by the government transparency group Wikileaks, include deleting detainee ID numbers from Wikipedia last month, the systematic posting of unattributed "self praise" comments on news organization web sites in response to negative press, boosting pro-Guantanamo stories on the internet news site Digg and even modifying Fidel Castro's encyclopedia article to describe the Cuban president as "an admitted transexual" [sic].

Shayana Kadidal, Managing Attorney of the Center for Constitutional Rights Guantanamo Global Justice Initiative, said in response to the report:

"The military's efforts to alter the record by vandalizing Wikipedia are of a piece with the amateurism of their other public relations efforts: [such as] their ridiculous claims that released detainees who criticize the United States in the media have 'returned to the battlefield'."

In response to a statement by Lt. Col. Bush of the Guantanamo Public Affairs office to the New York Daily News denying the charges, Wikileaks asked noted computer security expert Bruce Schneier to independently review the material:

"Based on the evidence, it is obvious that these changes came from people stationed at Guantanomo Bay.The only other possibility is that someone hacked into the Guantanomo Bay computers in an effort to frame the U.S. government; certainly possible but much less likely."
