Christmas bomber complicates plans to close Guant-namo
The President had initially pledged to close Guant-namo Bay within a year of taking office, but the challenge of how to move the detainees and what to do with them once they’ve moved is becoming an increasingly complicated problem. We talk with Vijay Padmanabhan, a visiting professor at Cardozo School of Law, about how best to make progress on closing the detention center. Dafna Linzer, a senior reporter for ProPublica, is following the President’s efforts to close Guant-namo and she joins us with the latest news.
