we have guantanamo? here is the irony of what the president has done and why he deserves a lot of blame for it. starting under the bush administration and a continuing under obama, there has been a revolution. guantanamo, while we were all talking about closing it, has turned into the exact sort of model facility we talked about closing it in order to say we were going to create. detainees at guantanamo have access to counsel. they get to have their court case, file habeas cases to have an independent judge reviewed. those get reviewed all the way of to the supreme court of the united states. journalists from all over the world is it this facility. -- visit this facility. there is a lot of public evidence that it gets released in the course of these litigation's. once they are found to be properly detained, they then have a continuing review process for as long as they are held there. it promises to be quite rigorous. no one really talked about this much, because we're talking about how we should be clos

and guantanamo isn't going away.t's not going away because congress cares more about keeping it than the president cares about shutting it down. and that's all there is to the story. and anybody who tells you that there's more to the story than that is fooling themselves. so, the question is, given that we're going to have guantanamo, the question is under what circumstances are we going to have guantanamo? and here's the irony of what the president has done and why i think he actually deserves a lot of blame for this. starting under the bush administration and continuing under the obama administration, there has been a revolution at guantanamo. guantanamo, while we were all talking about closing it, has turned into the exact sort of model facility that we talk about closing it in order to say we were going to create. so, detainees at guantanamo have access to counsel, they get to have their court cases they get to file habeous cases that are heard up to the supreme court of the united states. journalist from all ove

let's begin with the story of an inmate at guantanamo bay who was found dead over the weekend in his cell one of the first detainees taken to the prison in two thousand and two. odd none farhan abdulla teef was from yemen and at the time of his arrest on the border of pakistan and afghanistan he told authorities he was seeking medical treatment for a head injury though the military claimed he was an al qaeda recruit twice his release had been recommended once in two thousand and six and then in two thousand and eight but it was later rejected by the u.s. supreme court and the details of how he died have not yet been released but he had attempted suicide in the past and his lawyers say he spent long periods of time confined to the prison psychiatric ward to speak more about this i was joined earlier by colonel morris davis a retired air force attorney and former prosecutor a quantum obey here's his take. you know i think one thing the american public or the public large doesn't understand i guess are one hundred sixty seven living men still at guantanamo in detention the majority of t

this is our our second guantanamo i mean we we use this facility sure. you know for our national purposes and i think the intent is to continue to be able to have that the american people are paying a lot of attention to what goes on in afghanistan guantanamo however being closer does get more attention so what we've been doing is relieving ourselves of these foreign prisoners in guantanamo slowly there's still low over one hundred there i think but we're leaving ourselves with those in guantanamo and using baghran as the alternative so it is a very useful facility i think for the people in washington that are making this false. business to this natasha's that touch wall street said he would try to do so what's going on there well the big story of the day on wall street is the u.s. treasury deciding to sell up to eighteen billion dollars worth of stocks shares of the embattled insurance company and down on the news of old the rest of wall street is also feeling the pinch as well let's see the actual numbers at the moment this hour i should say actually t

the work force feeding him for years. >> at guantanamo. >> at guantanamo.n it came to his case, ultimately, the government said the main piece of evidence we have against this guy is an intelligence report that was done in pakistan, in pakistan custody in december 2001. there were obvious errors to it. we know they said he had a hand injury instead of a head injury. they could not get the basic facts straight. but this was the only affirmative piece of evidence that against him. ultimately, the legal argument the government made -- this is something that should terrify americans because this is the standard now for the d.c. circuit. it said an intelligence report from the government, no matter how obviously flawed, it will be assumed to be factually correct and as you can prove it was false. in kind of a crazy ruling that accused the district court judge of being like the wizard of oz, the circuit court said, you know, people in the u.s. can be held based on an intelligence report that the government does and they can say anything. >> how was it that he was

other international instruments and we know that the bush administration originally set up the guantanamo bay facility with the expectation that it would be beyond the reach of laws and courts that it expected that the geneva conventions and other internet national convention since simply wouldn't apply to what was done there and this attitude seems to have inspired some medical experimentation because i think that's what we see evidence of here we see the use of psychotropic drugs and other drugs for purposes that really don't have anything to do with health and safety of the prisoners now i think the authorities certainly could they could take that vaccinate prisoners if they're sick they could give them medicines to address the situation if they're making a ruckus they could be given seven tips and things of that sort so there are certain circumstances in which drugs can be used but if we look in detail into these reports we see drugs being used that don't match those circumstance where the i mean some of these drugs that we're hearing about they have the ability to cause you know incr

slowly there's still over one hundred there i think but we lead ourselves of those in guantanamo and using background as the alternative so it is a very useful facility i think for the people in washington that are making this policy that the u.s. has been trying to hand over law enforcement to local authorities for some time now but meantime there are also always been fresh reports of violence defections why would they even just formally pass on control of a crucial prison in such a time like this. i think the pressure is on to do that and i also think the writing in many ways on the war with afghanistan we've. you know it's been over ten years and it's not going very well the american people are not interested in hearing about it we're not interested in funding it i think the status quo in the fading from the american. you know awareness of what goes on in afghanistan makes it possible for us to just say you know whatever if some of those folks that we give back to the afghans turned out you know released well we'll deal with it through a good thoughts one on the money but the bigg

i think in the early guantanamo period right after 2001 when the prison in guantanamo bay was filling up, we have a kind of a clash of the to the institutions that were sort of alpha institutions on steroids at that time. we have the white house claiming huge on reviewable power to do what ever they want at guantanamo and we have the supreme court kind of getting up on its hind legs saying not quite so fast. there are certain norms and due process that apply even in wartime to a situation like this. the executive and congress had to step back a little bit. they pushed back. the supreme court pushed back and there were three rounds of decisions at guantanamo ending four years ago. it's now all dissolve into the lower courts and the supreme court has decided well, they said enough. they made their point. congress responded to some and they have nothing more to say about it at this point we so that conflict is sort of died down and now we have a new one coming up, we have a major challenge in the part of the health care decision that dealt with the congress authority under the spending c

let your guard down about terrorism i mean what they want all these terrorists we're keeping at guantanamo bay are released this is what we should expect but let's go back to the report first of all there's very little evidence that's been kumu one of the leaders of the apparent al-qaeda group are all shari'a is actually behind this attack right now this is all hypothetical so is it just me or does it seem like ok it is a very easy scapegoat to link everything that happens in the middle east ever together something else but mention was a certain politicians erroneous lee make the claim that guantanamo bay is a breeding ground for terrorists which is why they were trying to shut the facility down ok who is a former prisoner from guantanamo bay so let's just say that he really was responsible for the attacks if this were true does not prove that keeping people locked up without due process and torturing them day in and day out breeds them to want to commit hateful acts against their oppressors i mean none of this really makes any sense but again that's fox phoria too bad this is where over h
