at one point, guantanamo bay had nearly 700 prisoners. president obama promised in 2009 to close the center within a year. that, of course as we know has not happened. part of the reason is that congress has said no to moving prisoners to the united states and also been against financing trials of captives on u.s. soil. now, today house minority leader talked about what it's going to take to close the center. >> and let us hope that this will come to an end, soon. it's not going to come to an end soon unless american people insist upon it. elections have ramification autos by the lack of due process, and the misachievement -- mistreatment of the detainees changed the way americans have been seen by people around the world. >> now that the professor from usf law school who visited and wrote a book about it will talk to him again at 6:00. now, the united states also says that some of the prisoners are too dangerous to release, again, officials say most have been cleared but the problem there is that they cannot find nation that's will take
