Earlier this year, NPR's David Welna wrote about his experience:
"The new sign-it-or-no-tour document was prepared with no known input from either news organizations or First Amendment experts, and it would prove a harbinger of additional press restrictions I'd not seen before at Guantanamo.
A paragraph on the first page warns that 'disclosure of classified information may subject the News Media Representative to criminal prosecution.' That may seem reasonable.
But at Guantanamo, virtually everything — from windmill turbines churning on the hillsides to an entire prison camp — is classified. You can easily be capturing state secrets in your camera without intending to."
