At Gitmo: Crackdown on terrorist underpants

Guards at the Guantanamo Bay prison camp found two prisoners sporting unauthorized underwear, and the U.S. military is investigating to determine how they got the contraband.

Both prisoners were caught wearing Under Armour briefs and one also had on a Speedo bathing suit, items the military said were not issued by Guantanamo personnel or sent through the regular mail, according to a Defense Department letter obtained Friday by The Associated Press.

Detainees are issued cotton briefs similar to those issued to US troops in basic training, said Lt. Col Ed ("No Relation") Bush - which is, Bunky, underwear even we didn't wear, are you kidding? Do you think we were craZy?

It's all about the contraband, says the colonel. Which is to say, hey, if they're smuggling underpants what are they going to be up to next? Socks?
