Nearly two dozen investigators are searching for possible security breaches at the U.S. prison for terror suspects, officials said last Thursday at the camp where espionage charges have heightened tensions. Investigators from the Miami-based U.S. Southern Command reported to the island on Saturday and on Tuesday, the same day as five non-U.S.-born interpreters contracted by the same company that employed an American translator who has been arrested. Sources familiar with the investigation said two more arrests may be imminent. Investigators will try to establish how a translator already under investigation got secret clearance and was allowed onto the base, and how a second translator managed to leave with classified information. In addition, a Muslim chaplain is under investigation after allegedly leaving with diagrams of the prison layout. The translators, from San Diego-based Titan Corp., arrived as officials boosted security by closely monitoring e-mail messages, asking troops to report suspicious behavior and postponing the assignment of another Muslim chaplain. Army Maj. Gen. Geoffrey D. Miller, who commands the detention mission, said they also are increasing baggage checks and considering lie detector tests. |
