Report: Soldier claims he was beaten as part of training

Associated Press

LEXINGTON, Ky. - A former military police officer claimed in a television interview broadcast Monday that he was severely beaten while posing as a detainee during a January 2003 training exercise at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.

Sean Baker, a former member of the 438th Military Police Company, said he played the role of a detainee and was beaten harshly enough at the hands of four U.S. soldiers to suffer a traumatic brain injury and seizures.

In the television interview, Baker said that as part of the training drill, he was given an orange detainee jumpsuit to wear and turned over to four soldiers.

Baker said the soldiers then beat and choked him, stopping when they saw he was wearing parts of an Army uniform.

Baker said he has undergone numerous treatments, but still has medical problems.

Attempts by the AP to reach Baker by telephone Monday were not successful.
