it's hinting at at least but you know even before news of the office that's working to close guantanamo bay before there was news of the shutting down there wasn't a clear sign that the base was shutting down but what kinds of restrictions that congress put in place to block detainees from being transferred out of the base well for several years now i think back to basically the summer of two thousand and ten congress has been passing measures that have gotten more and more onerous and more and more restrictive the latest ones basically say that the secretary of defense has to certify that any time a prisoner is transferred out of guantanamo that the country's going to can basically guarantee that he won't become involved in any wrongdoing or any militant activity and that guarantees a very strong word i don't know how anyone being released unless they're going to be permanently jailed for the rest of their life how officials could really guarantee that they won't become involved in any wrongdoing and so it's been hard for the administration to make those kinds of certifications and also th

moscow i'm marina joshing welcome to the program and the jury is here as attention facility at guantanamo bay in cuba marks its eleventh anniversary despite president obama's forty year old promise to shut the camp while human rights groups are calling for freedom for those clearer for release and for a fair trial for others polls show the majority of americans have moved on and now reports public opinion in the u.s. relies more on fiction than fact. president obama's call to look forward not backward has resulted in attempts to sweep the past under the rug including some of his own promises i'm going to close guantanamo and i will follow through on that colonel morris davis was a chief prosecutor at guantanamo and to george w. bush he later became a vocal critic of the practices there and strongly supported president obama's pledge to shut down the prison he says the perception of guantanamo in the u.s. has come a long way since two thousand and eight when he was a burning and highly controversial issue with a nation demanding action he gets a free pass on i mean the public largely could car

so my question, is it closing guantanamo bay or giving justice to the people and the 186 people? when you go on that track, and everybody loses track of what is really the issue. >> i don't understand the distinction. it's not just to hold people indefinitely without. guantanamo is the symbol of that. you've got to get them out of there and close it. >> i don't want to get in an argument. >> your first point about the cost, not the economic cost that you can put a dollar figure on but the cost to america, the intangible cost. i think we saw that not long ago with the man extradited from the u.k. to america. i guess the u.k. is our closest allies in the war on terror and our closest ally made us promise that before they would extradite him we would not send them to guantanamo, that he would not be prosecuted in the military commission, which to me is a statement about guantanamo and the military commissions. we have to promise our closest friend that we will not to use it or they will not give us that prisoner. >> we have two minutes left. anything anybody wants to say in closing?

and for other guantanamo be bay detainees made a public appearance before military tribunals as they face the death penalty over the nine eleven attacks and there's all of this brings me back to obama's promise to close guantanamo.

closing guantanamo bay or giving justice to the people and the 186 people or? when you going to backtrack everybody loses track of the issue. >> i don't understand the distinction. to give justice to people, it is done just to hold people indefinitely without hearings and guantanamo is as simple as that and you have to get them out and get them out of there. >> i don't want to get in an argument. >> you are right about the cost, not just economic costs that you put a dollar figure on but the cost to america, the intangible costs. we saw that not long ago. abu hamza who was extradited from the u.k. our closest ally in the war on terror made us promise that we would send him -- not send him to guantanamo or prosecute him in a military commission which is a statement about guantanamo and the military commissions that we have to promise our closest friend that we won't use it or they won't give him to us. >> two minutes left. anything anybody wants to say in closing? >> i want to repeat again that -- there are some people at guantanamo who should be punished and th
