Not much of a diary, but, can anyone find any definitive information on what contact and information our detainees and enemy combatants have with the outside world? Unless guards are gossiping in front of them, are they given any information from the outside world? I've seen virtually no news on this in a google search, and what I did find ended up being contradictory in nature.
Post anything known in comments, I'll update this with the info, in case there's a strong interest in finding out.

Do Detainees In Guantanamo Know About Today's Executive Orders? Do They Know Obama Is President?
UPDATED: Seems there is no actual information. Detainees probably don't have contact with the outside world at all, save for contact with lawyers, which if i believe, is not everyone being held there. I wonder if those with lawyers and those that don't are ever held in common grounds, or if they are ever allowed to see/communicate with each other. We still don't seem to know too much about their basic daily detention conditions save the horror stories. And, shhs thinks the detainees know because John McCain knew from his veitnam detention when Ho Chi Minh died by an abrupt change in treatment(?).
I remember from reading about McCain in Vietnam. He said that his treatment changed the day after Ho Chi Minh died. So they know that some change has happened. --shhs
Thanks everyone!! I'm still curious and feel uninformed. Are there any diarists on DKos that get to sit in White House press conferences? Would love to post an open-letter diary to them about inquiring about these things.
