Did anyone see the soldier standing on the toilet at Gitmo on Countdown?
Keith's #5 story was called "The Detainees Dilemma". While there doing the story they show some stock footage of Guantanamo Bay. Or at least I think its Guantanamo Bay. One of the shots is of two soldiers standing on an observation deck looking over a wall at incoming detainees. One of the soldiers is STANDING ON A TOILET. It may not be a smoking gun but I think its odd.

If you really want a video clip or still, you could try PM'ing dzika and begging... he usually Tivo's Countdown and will often oblige with screencaps, etc.

2. It is old stock footage.
It is just more relevant now after the Newsweek story ect....
If you look the its a porcelain toilet on a platform of plywood outside. It is just an odd place to put a toilet unless you have an odd use for it.
