guantanamo bay prisoner detainees. this is his final briefing before he retires. he served as commander since november 2012. this is 45 minutes. i'm very happy to be here. many friends over the years. as you might know, i'm about to go over the side for the last time. i retire at the end of the month. it is next thursday. i will tell you it was very unique. it is a remarkable organization. very different mission. it is all about broadening and deepening partnerships down there to say the least. i would say the partners we have in latin america and the caribbean like the united states want to be associated with the united states. there is a few down there who didn't get the memo about democracy and human rights and that kind of thing but some of that is even turning around. they really do like and associate with us. they very much like, and are very proud of this, that southern command doesn't point the finger but work with them. we deliver an awful lot of good advice, education, and assistance. the other thing we do a lot of as an inneragency partner is c n confis

they were not at guantanamo bay? sharyl: graham insists since congressional funds e needed to transfer prisoners, it's the republican-led congress, not the president, who will decide guantanamo's fate. sen. graham: anybody who believes now is the time to close guantanamo bay is delusional, and i would say this is a further sense of president obama's delusion about how the war is actuauay going. he has no idea. he has no idea about the threats we face. if he had any idea, this is the last thing he would do. sharyl: you're calling president obama delusional on this. sen. graham: yeah. totally. he's totally delusional about the state of play in the mideast. spending bill, congress included a ban on transferring prisoners to the u.s. president obama said the gitmo part might violate the separation of powers. that leaves open the ideas that he could try to use executive authority to again bypass congress. still ahead on "full measure" -- many of the enemy combatants at guantanamo were e ce important al qaeda players who p

guantanamo bay is a functioning base and has been for years.when they come up with the cost estimate or cost per detainee and all of that we were never asked here. someone else came up with the number. but i know if you look at, my gitmo budget is plus or minus a million dollars. but that is an approximate. the facility up and running if you keep counting the cost of the facility, which i guess you should, it is an expensive place, i support the commissions and they have a budget, too. but as a nation you make a decision what you will spend your money on. if to detain a detainee at guantanamo bay cost more than saying take that person to the united states if that is the policy decision so be it. i don't have an opinion on whether it is too expensive or not. i just know that, you know, the money i am given i spend frugally and as i said they are very well taken care of. yes? >> thank you, general. i wanted to get your opinion something on guantanamo bay related and something that has been in the news. what did you think of the swap for beau berg

closing guantanamo bay will not suit everyone. president barack obama pretty much is stopped from closing the detention center, bans transfer of prisoners to the united states, what alternative is there, especially for those that have been charged including the person believed to be the mastermind of 9/11. >> that gets into the the interesting part. there is a real question. the president, in the context would have difficulty moving someone as a detainee. can congress tell the attorney-general who to try and who not if a try. in federal criminal court. that answers an interesting constitutional question. the commissioner could probably do that, at least in my opinion. >> i know the... >> the remainder deal with diplomatically. the remainder he has to deal with diplomatically. >> the numbers are a little fuzzy, as many as one in five are believed to have gone back to the fight. fewer than 110 under president obama, some said there's little risk of recidivism now. what should happen to the group, the middle group of the people who a

there are many things wrong with guantanamo bay. it is not wrong, in my view, to hold people as prisoners of war when you pick them up on the battlefield. that is recognized. that has legitimacy. was not setmo bay up that way. it was set up outside the regular norms. system, which is a rule of law system, when you try outsidesomething set up and integrate it with a system, with the regular system, it doesn't work. administration, the white house's instructions to me , starting in 2009 when i was approaching governments to take detainees, was, make sure you so youurity assurances know what will happen to these people when you have transferred them to third countries. corners, and although we want to close it, i was on new pressure -- under no pressure to rack up the numbers. we worked hard. there is a risk with every transfer. the risk is greater than zero. but overall, the risk of transferring detainees so you can close the facility is smaller than the risk of maintaining it forever. and this was also the view of the bush administrat

and the message of guantanamo to the world is mess with us and you end up in a cage at guantanamo bay. in addition, there is ambition by some people in congress to grow guantanamo. they like the idea that this could be an interrogation center. and mostly nobody wants guantanamo in their backyard. >> sreenivasan: what have the outcomes been? you made an interesting distinction. you said the people that have been federally convicted in the united states of acts of terror versus what has happened to these people who have been there possibly as long as 14 years. >> so with the most rarest of exception, these are not convicts. they're not criminals. they're war prisoners. they would be in a more traditional war, what we would consider to be a po-w, someone who is considered the enemy, taken off of the battle field and held until the end of that war. the bush administration never con ferred on al-qaeda, po-w status. they created this war prisoner status. with a few exceptions of the 91 men down there today, ten are in criminal proceedings. the idea is just to hold them. and to systemically
