THIS IS A RUSH TRANSCRIPT.  THIS COPY MAY NOT BE IN ITS FINAL FORM AND MAY BE UPDATED. DARYN KAGAN, CNN ANCHOR: You might recall that among the first group of detainees to go to Camp X-Ray in Guantanamo, one of them was sedated for the flight from Kandahar. We're learning why that happened. Our Barbara Starr has the information from the Pentagon Barbara, good morning again.</s>BARBARA STARR, CNN PENTAGON CORRESPONDENT: Hi, Daryn. Well what we learned here at the Pentagon this morning is that one of the detainees, the one who was sedated, underwent a two-hour surgery the other day for treatment of a gunshot wound to his upper right arm. The wound had apparently become infected, and surgeons, Navy surgeons at the hospital at Guantanamo Bay, performed what is called an incision and drainage. Doctors were able to explain the operation to the man before he underwent the surgery, but of course, he was under strict security procedures the entire time. He's now expected to recover the use of his arm and his shoulder, but doctors say he may have permanent nerve damage to his wrist. So Pentagon officials say this is another indication that the detainees are being treated humanely and that they are getting the required medical treatment. The next flight of detainees from Afghanistan could occur in the next few days, possibly as soon as tomorrow. And we're also told that the International Red Cross will visit Guantanamo Bay in the next couple of days to review the conditions under which the detainees are being held -- Daryn.</s>KAGAN: Barbara Starr, at the Pentagon, might call on your expertise in a bit as we watch that ceremony from Fort Campbell, Kentucky. We'll see you in just a bit. TO ORDER A VIDEO OF THIS TRANSCRIPT, PLEASE CALL 800-CNN-NEWS OR USE OUR SECURE ONLINE ORDER FORM LOCATED AT www.fdch.com
