The US detention center at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, opened way back in 2002. For the first time since then, the White House has allowed a United Nations independent investigator to visit. Fionnuala Ní Aoláin is a law professor and human rights investigator. She recently spent four days visiting the prison at Guantanamo, and joins The World’s Marco Werman to talk about what she saw there.
