Should the Gitmo detainees be priority-vaccinated?

Nearly 25 million Americans have now been vaccinated which is more than seven per cent of the population, still a low level but the programme is moving pretty fast, particularly with those perceived to be in the most vunerable part of the community - the elderly and sick. So why did the Pentagon suddenly announce that it was planning to go ahead with offering vaccination to the 40 terrorist-suspect detainees who are still incarcerated in the Guantanamo detention camp in Cuba? You could argue on humanitarian grounds that if Covid were to get into the three main camps, Camp 5, Camp 6 and Camp 7, then the virus could run rampant very quickly and there could be serious-illness cases or fatalities. Should the US care about that? Well of course it's not just about the 40 detainees. There are still around 1,500 US troops guarding them and they need to be protected. It doesn't make a lot of sense to vaccinate the guards but not those they are guarding, even though they are doing so behind a glass-barrier screen. There's minimal contact between detainees and guards. I aassume the education pogramme they have at Gitmo, such as art classes where civilian teachers go inside the cell block area, were stopped a long time ago because of Covid. But vaccinating terrorist suspects regarded by successive US administrations, and I'm sure by Joe Biden as well, as the most dangerous "enemy combatants", five of them charged with mastminding the 9/11 deaths of nearly 3,000 people, is terrible PR. Sure enough, when the Pentagon made the announcement there was furious reaction from Republican congressmen who said it was despicable that while vulnerable American citizens were still waiting for their jabs because of a shortage of supplies, the Pentagon was going to give jabs to the 40 detainees in Guantanamo. The Pentagon, under fire, quickly announced a "pause". A smart move under the circumstances. But some of the detainees are not well and were they to catch Covid and die, there will be a lot of human rights lawyers who will denounce the Pentagon for failing to protect the terrorist suspects. Let's see how long the "pause" lasts.
