Remember Bruce Lloyd? He was the cauliflower-nosed man who did the cable tv news back in the early to mid-80's. Used to stand at some spot outside, hold a mike and read the news from some notes in his hand. He later went on to be a "pr" person, run his own media "company", and had an online site that listed summaries of every single day's major news stories.mustbethehumidity
Well, I just found out while surfing.. that he's in Guantanamo! No.. not as one of the prisoners who've been stripped of almost every right of due process, but as their Public Relations dude.

It features a McDonald's and community housing resembling a 1950s U.S. suburb, and boasts a huge Fourth of July fireworks display. And the military does apply some U.S. laws, including the Endangered Species Act, which outlines how iguanas must be treated. The base's 25 mph speed limit is strictly enforced, which helps avoid roadkill, according to public affairs officer Bruce Lloyd."There is a very consistent effort by the command to protect the iguanas and other exotic species here, which I assume is partially driven by the federal law," he acknowledged."
