The Final Days of Guantanamo Bay (Eventually)

As President Obama struggles to make good on his campaign promise to close the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, the administration is now toying with the idea of trying the 220 prisoners still being held in courtrooms built into high-security prisons. Proposed sites for those prisons have started to leak out and both Leavenworth, Kansas, (home to a famous prison of its own) and Omer, Michigan, are on the list. The Takeaway talks to the mayor of Leavenworth, Shay Baker, and Paul Piche, a guard at the Standish Correctional Facility. Also joining the conversation is Jonathan Mahler, a writer for The New York Times magazine and author of The Challenge: Hamdan v. Rumsfeld and the Fight over Presidential Power.
