ferry its secretive prisons in a country it's been enemies with since the war all few realize that guantanamo bay consists of more than just the infamous detention facility in fact the history of this base goes all the way back to june tenth eighteen ninety eight during the height of the spanish-american war u.s. forces seized control on tunnel bay from spain and soon signed a lease with newly independent cuba establishing guantanamo as a military base over the course of the next half century u.s. military ism in cuba was solidified with presidents from after yar to truman making personal trips there to show their commitment to the strategic outpost all the while the u.s. backed cuban dictator for hansie about tista was enjoying a mutually beneficial relationship collaborating with an american multinational corporations but everything changed in one nine hundred fifty nine during the cuban revolution when a young girl of fighter named fidel castro successfully ousted the teesta and created a socialist state of course with the cold war in full swing and communism and in fact as america's numbe

i served in guantanamo for a time. the bush administration released detainees who they thought may not have been a danger anymore. nobody would have even suggested that this taliban five did not represent a danger to our national security. so here we have an instance where congress clearly exercised its authority in order to check the president on an issue with -- in terms of the terrorist detainees -- that his views are quite frankly not representative of the american people as a whole. we did that legitimately and this president decided to flagrantly violate the lawful actions that we took. i urge support for this resolution and i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. the gentleman from washington. mr. smith: i continue to reserve. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman from washington continues to reserve. the gentleman from california is recognized. mr. mckeon: mr. speaker, i yield two minutes to my friend and colleague, the gentleman schock.i

it's not unique to guantanamo. prisoners in other places in the united states jails and elsewhere have not eaten as a form of political protest. the balance is this. and i dealt with this as head of the detainee affairs for a period of time. we allow them the freedom, the right to politically protest in the form of a hunger strike. at the same time both the bush and obama administrations have determined they are going to allow a political protest but not to the point where they kill themselves because we believe in the sanctity of life even for people incarcerated or under the law of war in detention. it is a tough, moral issue but i think both administrations got it right. >> if i can stick with mr. stimson for a second. i want to ask about isis and now guantanamo. what happens if these isis fighters are captured by the united states? where are they going? >> yeah. i started a little twitter debate right after the isis situation came to fore. that was, you know, what's the plan that the administration has for if -

and this is a break in the set so a couple weeks ago i had the great privilege of traveling to guantanamo bay prison in cuba to investigate the continuing plight of the hundred forty nine indefinite detainees still there because most of the world has forgotten about these men reporters are needed on the ground and get on now more than ever however in order to understand what's happening in the notorious prison today first you have to understand get most history who these men actually are and what they went through so don't go anywhere. because it's time to break the set. the government says it wants to close the secretary defense and defense department are committed to the president's goal of closing guantanamo bay if the public knew what actually happened that heads would roll there are a lot of issues that are being handled at a higher level join us as we seek answers to those issues and much more this is at the heart breaking the steps i want on a mobile. few realize how expensive it is to keep running the joint task force detention center that opened in two thousand and two costs taxp

to see american stressed to look like guantÁnamo prisoners.oking back, how damaging has it been, how damaging is it still today, that the guantÁnamo facility six years after president obama called for it to be shut is still our overall effort to counter overall efforts? >> there is no doubt that, first, it is important to note our view that there is no group as successful and effective as isl is at using propaganda, particularly using social media. they outpaced any others in how they used the internet to spread their message. as we have seen in the past, part of that is the guantÁnamo imagery. that, along with a number of other tools, are things that they turn to, or messages they turn to, to try to spread their message and radicalize others. i do think it is important to say here, there should be no equivalency and we should reject any sense of it between what we and ourhose videos country's policies. i want to make sure that is clear. time, we are working hard in support of the president's goal to" guantanamo. we are with the rest of the co

who were interviewing detainees who had been brought from the prison to guantanamo and who had startedking about this massacre. pursuere told not to those queries any further and not to gather that information. the war crimes ambassador at the state department also wanted to prevented from doing so. the senate investigation was also stopped. that was under bush. the president, the current president, basically a year ago said they completed an investigation, we are satisfied the u.s. was not involved, and of story, full stop. in 2009, you said james risen , who is now being prosecuted by the obama administration for theher story, spoke about findings on democracy now! responsibility of the bush administration to look into this or push for international investigation because abdul rashid dostum had been on the u.s. payroll and was part of an alliance that had taken over afghanistan, and what i found was time after time in different agencies, and the white house, bush administration officials repeatedly ignored evidence or discouraged efforts to open investigations into the massacre. repo

we can't let them out of guantanamo. in fact, even guantanamo is too good for them. and i don't personally care what the rest of the world thinks of us. until we get this country back on track with our military superiority, the hallmark of a strok and a free nation, then our enemies will continue to attack us as lone wolves or as legion. yes, we are a free and open society. but i've told you before that because of that we're spoiled. we don't know from behead lings and public crucifixions and public suicide bombers. and we don't know the pain of being forced out of our homes because 0 our religious believes. and because of that freedom we're at even greater risk. so what do we do? it's time for americans to realize it's us against them. to come together as a nation. to forget about the political lines that separate us. we have to start treating these cases as war crimes, not simple prosecutable felonies. we can start by calling things what they are. when a ft. hood shooter guns down his fellow soldiers with a business card that says soldier of allah, it's not workpla

men in guantanamo that was exchanged and, yes, indeed, they were former members of organizations that would do us harm, but they're not likely to return to the battlefield at their age. if so, then old people like me need to be in the war and probably we wouldn't have so many in the first place. are their minds going to be utilized? that may very well be the case. but i don't think all five of them put together were worth as much as one american soldier, bo bergdahl. and toward that end, i defy anybody to tell me that the bergdahl family and those of us who believe that we should leave no soldier behind are not pleased. we send our soldiers into harm's way under the american flag. we assure them that they will not be left behind and president obama and the defense secretary hagel made good on that promise. now, i'm sorry that you object to how we secured the safe return of one of our soldiers. but you don't get to have it both ways. instead of bringing bills to the floor that would help our students, that would help those struggling to find jobs, that would help women get the pay they
