High-value detainees at Guantanamo's secret Camp Seven enjoy reading Fifty Shades of Grey, according to Rep. Jim Moran, a Democrat from Virginia. Moran was part of a recent delegation that visited Cuba to tour the facility. "They've read the entire series in English, but we were willing to translate it," said Moran. "I guess there's not much going on, these guys are going nowhere, so what the hell." A military spokesman declined to confirm Moran's comments even though several high-ranking officials, including the base commander and the head medical official, were around when Fifty Shades was discussed. Moran, who is opposed to keeping the prison open, also said he thinks the Obama administration should do more to shut down the facility.
