look, guantanamo is a mess and it always has been. no one is blameless. any one can cherry-pick but i think the facts and statistics speak for themselves. i think that what we should do ib -- instead of shotgun -- of having witnesses come where we could be in a close setting getting to the bottom of this matter. any the foreign affairs committee obviously has oversight on this issue. the hearing last march and today's hearing are the only two times the committee has taken up this issue in nearly 15 rrears of guantanamo prison has been open, so since we have our top guantanamo experts today, i hope you can give us your opinion on interesting idea we heard about that prison. i'm going to read you a few quotes, you may recognize them. i will give you a hint. it's one of the candidates running for president. he is the first, this morning i watched president obama talking about gitmo, guantanamo bay, by the way we are keeping open and we are going to load it up with bad dude, we are going to load it up, unquote. and the second, quote, torture works, okay, folk

>> guantanamo bay, fundamentally. i think holder wanted to return to military commission. >> host: but guantanamo bay was open and eric holder gave the cases back to the military committ committee. >> guest: i think politically they were not up to the task. i want to come back to guantanamo bay but i want to say on surveillance it is a little more murky in terms of what they wanted and didn't want. this administration has used these surveillance powers and in the drone program, which i talk about in the book, the targeted killing programs with weaponized drones, the obama administration stepped this up exponentially and it is their way of conducting the war on terror and without dicial review. do you want the executive to get into the business of deciding who should be killed? who is an american citizen and who should be killed? if you think about how the country was founded it was founded on many principles against a general warrant. that you had to have specific suspicion for a warrant. against executive killing. ag

you looked into guantanamo bay and your book was about guantanamo bay and today it is about the federal courts basically. in your understanding, is there a lot of over classification in the federal system or in guantanamo bay? and how does the overclassification have an impact on the entire justice system? -- over-classification -- >> guest: i think i am not the only person to think over-classification is an issue. the government is rstruggling with this. you can see they decided on a level that is no longer classified. there are number of federal judges that say when i looked at the classified materials i was astonished. if you give breadth to classification and you are the officer that has to decide whether to classify it or not why wouldn't you? why take the risk you make a mistake about something that could be the needle in the hay stack down the road. so there has been tremendous over-classification and who knows what direction that is going to go in because all of this depends on external events. between the media and rumor mongers, they found out this and that, and the snowden ca

it could cost over $4 million per detainee at guantÁnamo to maintain guantÁnamo. number and it's going to go up because for every one that is released it goes up and up so when you have less than 20 individuals come and it could've been less than that in the category that haven't been cleared for release, do you know how much it's going to cost? you were talking about $11 million. he will have the population again and it's going to go up exponentially and i don't believe congress will be able or have the support. this has to be the calculation inside the government. then all you have left are the detainees there will be a small number and divide them up and put them in prison military or otherwise that will get dicey because what rights do they have, etc. and they may be able to be tried or plead in federal court. there is a lot of talk about getting these individuals to plead to federal court charges if they waive their rights. so even that small number could be whittled down. it's not part of guantÁnamo at the very start, but it took a long time to get going und

guantanamo is a mess and always has been. no one is blameless.cherry pick single cases to point a picture big or small, good or bad. by the facts and the statistics speak for themselves. and i think that what we should do after this, instead of having the witnesses come and tell us they can only tell us things in a briefing is to spend our time with them after this hearing in a few weeks, where we could be in a closed setting, getting to the bottom of this matter. now, the foreign affairs committee obviously has oversight on this issue. a hearing last march and today's hearing are the only two times the committee has taken up this issue in the near hi 15 years the guantanamo prison has been open. so, since we have our top guantanamo experts with us today, i hope you can give us your opinions on some interesting ideas we recently heard about the prison. going to read you a few quotes. i recognize them. give you a hint. it's one of the candidates running for president. here is the first. this morning i watched president obama talking about gitmo, w

what no longer exists in the case of guantÁnamo. the problems with secrecy after 9/11 is that there's some suspicion on the part of many and some of it i share, not all of it. some of it i share in the secrecy's about things the united states government did that they should not have done. that cannot be the reason things are classified. rather than sources and message and information that would help her enemies. so for example, torture. the fact that these individuals are tortured that is not a secret. what kind of torture, we may not know. it seems to me that cannot be the reason that we cannot have these trials. >> host: you mention torture and you and i have been talking about torture for a long time. from your experience, you've been looking into these issues for a long time, you've looked into guantÁnamo and your first book was about guantÁnamo and today it's about the federal courts. in your understanding is there a lot of classification in the federal system or in one time a and how this over justification has an impact on th

exposure is your job is to close guantÁnamo. >> that is correct. >> so -- i got a yes. that is far enough. >> my title is guantÁnamo detention closure which we are not closing the naval facility. >> i understand the president who loves chavez and castro enough to open up relations has not decided to give back what we have in perpetuity. we will leave that aside. your job is to close detention. you are working toward that. i want to ask one or two simple questions. it has been said many times on both sides of the day is that president george w. bush's administration released more prisoners than you inherited. you released more. during that time it has been discovered and during this administration discovered that in fact some released by the bush administration went back and killed americans on the battlefield in afghanistan and other places. is that correct? >> yes, sir. >> george w. bush released more prisoners, tentative that them, was wrong, they went back and killed americans on the battlefield and we know it and the public

and while i have been patient the president is in a rush willingly to release guantanamo terrorist to wherever he can for i wish we were not here today holding another hearing this week was not my intention. but my patience when -- patience has run out. >> welcome back and thank you for your service. the last time you were here we've made my views on the guantanamo prison pretty clear i asked the misstatement the included as a record of part of the hearing. to recap the prison should be closed national security experts agree with me and i have a letter here from 36 retired generals and admirals calling for the prisons closure and i basket is included in the record is a propaganda tool and a stool -- and a story. however there are issues raised that deserve follow-up and because there is an extensive process from the president sending to another country it is important to know how exactly to transferred detainee's in the risk that they oppose it is a good question because the deal with intelligence methods and in a classified setting maya understanding is a payoff for to do just that.

closing guantanamo is about protecting the country, not weakening it. as you know, the importance in closing this detention facility is echoed by former president george w. bush and a long list of former secretaries of state, secretaries of defense, joint staff chair men and other former military leaders as representati representative engle noted, a letter was included by flag officers. transfers from gitmo are in the national security interest of the united states and are conducted in a safe and responsible manner. on march 23rd, 2016, i testified before this committee. during that hearing as the chairman noted, i was asked whether the department of defense had ever knowingly transferred a detainee to a country that did not exhibit an ability to substantially mitigate the risk or control the individual. in response to that question, i stated that the department of defense had not conducted such a transfer. i standby my response. we've addressed your concerns, mr. chairman, in the letter we sent you this week and i again apologize for the late response

>> you're talking about guantanamo detainees returned to afghanistan -- >> guantanamo detainees released after 2009 who in fact went back and killed americans. >> the assessment of the intelligence community is that no detainees released since 2009 during this administration are responsible for the deaths of americans. >> so your public statement is that no detainees released by this administration have killed americans on the battlefield as of today. >> correct. >> i just want to make sure i have it on the record because i don't believe it. you can say it, and you're under oath, and i believe it, that you believe it. so, i want to make sure we understand. we're sitting here and somehow president george w. bush, early on, releasing the less dangerous, the easier to vet, the less likely to be hardened criminal terrorists, terrorists, not criminals -- they were relievessed and killed americansor. leaserseninging people and they're not killing americans. howl do you account for that? is his rehabilitation? >> sir, there are lot of factual predicates in your question that would require corre
