A hunger strike among prisoners at the Guantanamo Bay detention facility has been growing in Camp 6, where cooperative detainees are being held.
Marco Werman talks with Carol Rosenberg of the Miami Herald, one of only two reporters who have visited the camp since news of the protest broke.
She says all sides agree the biggest frustration for the prisoners has been losing hope that the prison would ever close and their detention end.
