The videotape, the war-crimes trial and the future of Guantanamo Bay
Eyes are once again on the military prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. This week, it’s because of the release of a hidden-camera video that gave the world a glimpse into interrogations. And, next week, pending a federal hearing Thursday, Osama bin Laden driver Salim Hamdan is scheduled to appear in Guantanamo’s first trial ? the first American war-crimes trial since World War II. Guest: Neal Sonnett, Chair of the American Bar Association’s Task Force on Treatment of Enemy Combatants. He also practices law in Miami, Florida.
