the facility was routinely left open after hours. the fertilizer was literally a disaster waiting to happen. as formidable as this facility is known to be, dhs had no idea even existed. the plant's owner failed to introduce himself. thus remaining unidentified and unknown. what is even more disturbing is thatknown. what is even more disturbing is that this is just one of similar situations across the country that dhs has no knowledge of. on may 2 chairmen sent a letter to secretary napolitano asking to stay off the rail and what the department is doing to improve the outrage. the department's response was insufficient. the reply reiterated the current efforts. say nothing about what dhs have learned. i was encouraged to receive a call last night talking about chemical safety. this is a step in the right direction and i look forward to the results of this executive order. while these indicate potential progress if they materialize, they will not be alone to give them what they need. in july we wrote to secretary napolitano joined by fr

future remains unclear we have extensive coverage of the hunger strike and the calls to close the facility up ahead. it's tuesday august sixth four pm in washington d.c. i'm sam saks and you're watching our special coverage of the hunger strike back on tony mowbray. so what exactly are we talking about when it comes to guantanamo well let's take a look at the numbers the prison is now in its twelfth year of operation in that time seven hundred seventy nine men have been deemed to have been detained there including more than twenty children according to u.s. government data ninety two percent of these inmates were never affiliated with al qaeda and eighty six percent of them were captured not by u.s. soldiers but instead thanks to bounty offers and all of those seven hundred seventy nine prisoners five hundred thirty two were eventually released by the bush administration another seventy two by the obama administration nine individuals have died active mo including seven from apparent suicides that's more than the number of detainees you've actually been convicted of any crime. so that leav

our former datacenter -- we look at ways to properly renovate and upgrade the facility there. from a cost perspective, it was not a benefit to the city, and we did not think it was a very use of the city's taxpayers funds, so we felt that it was best to research a co-location facility in the city, and we're very pleased with our decision to go that route. because one, we did not have to -- we no longer had the responsibility of managing a facility. we could repurchase or repo august that, those efforts that we had with our staff performing those services before -- we could be purpose those folks into other areas of the organization, teaching them a new skill set. we no longer had the burden, frankly, of a facility management. we no longer had to stress our resources in any of the facility-based type of management responsibilities. so that was a clear economic choice for us. our decision to go to an enterprise mail solution was -- there were certainly a long term cost associated with that. but our decision to go to microsoft cloud solution was based on several factors. one of wh
