'Witnesses say french fries helped calm bin Laden driver'

Surely one of the more eccentric headlines of the year - from Yahoo news today - reporting on the goings on at Guantamamo Bay. The story continues by confirming that the fries came from Macdonalds and the driver in question did not appreciate them when they were cold. Can we conclude from this that the US military had their own franchise on the base?? A headline that, frankly, begs more questions than it answers.
