Why Obama is not Closing Down Guantanamo Bay

Inside Story Americas - The failing state of Guantanamo Bay


Amid reports of hunger strikes and deteriorating conditions, we examine why the US has given up on closing the facility. To discuss the future of Guantanamo Bay, Inside Story Americas, with presenter Shihab Rattansi, speaks to guests: Morris Davis, a retired US Air Force Colonel and the former chief prosecutor at Guantanamo Bay; Jennifer Daskal, currently an adjunct professor at Georgetown University Law Center, who has also served as a lawyer at the National Security Division of the US department of justice; and David Remes, one of the attorneys representing Guantanamo detainees. He returned from Guantanamo last week.
