Recently appointed Guantanamo camp commandant David Woods testified that the justification of his introduction of censorship of privileged mail between Guantanamo captives and their attorneys was triggered by smuggled magazine incident.[1]
According to Guantanamo military commission prosecutor, Navy Commander Andrea Lockhart, "There was material getting in like Inspire magazine that should not have been getting in."[1] Jason Leopold, writing in The Public Record, reported that United States Air Force Captain had been questioned by Admiral Woods about whether he gave his client, Kuwaiti captive Faiz al Kandari a copy of a brochure prepared by a Kuwaiti human rights lobbying for his release.[2] According to Schwartz neither he nor any of al Kandari's other attorneys had given him the brochure.
Barry Wingard, another of al Kandari's attorneys has acknowledged being shown a copy of the four page pamphlet, when he visited Kuwait
