. >> president obama has professed want to go close guantanamo bay prison down. where is that at? >> well, he's hired or appointed two men at the state department, and paul lewis at the pentagon, to try to move those who can be transferred out of guantanamo, to look for legal ways to actually close the detention center, and to try to resolve some of the outstanding claims that the countries of which these men are citizens might have against the u.s. government. the u.s. did pass laws that say you cannot bring anyone who has been held on guantanamo on continental soil for prosecution. you cannot house anyone from guantanamo on u.s. soil. and say the president were to decide tomorrow i'm issuing an executive order despite what congress says, there is no money apportioned to that, he would be breaking u.s. law to do that. >> we'll bring in two members of the task force that authored the report on medical ethics. this is "inside story." >> al jazeera america is a straight-forward news channel. >> its the most exciting thing to happen to american journalism in decades

what if i could close guantanamo bay detention facility for guy yours in an anti obama administration must figure out what to do with the one hundred and sixty four detainees are currently living there some reason in the least. others transferred and some not prosecuted. a milton again those transfers could hit the floor of the senate as soon as november eighteen ninety and has a very rocky road and it can still look like a camp continues but is not bad for everyone. soldiers working in guantanamo bay have won clients even if donald's and have all you can eat buffets they also get to work out a state of the art recreation facilities are to respond on a stasi a church that takes a closer look at funny thing is that you might not know about the detention facility. this week misconceptions gitmo is not just in jail so he ought not to be shot. it's also a forty five square mile military base with no plans of going anywhere. full of signs of established american life is a navy base and we just happen to have that thick and thin it took to the only mcdonald's on cuban soil subway sandwich s

not every detainee needs to stay at guantanamo bay. i recognize that, as do the other authors of this amendment. but not one should be released until we are absolutely certain that everything is being done to prevent new terrorist activity on the part of those individuals who are in fact released. these certification requirements give us that certainty. making these requirements permanent is the only sure way to guarantee that each and every transfer is the best thing for the national security of the united states. finally, this amendment restores the status quo by striking section 1032 in the bill which allows the transfer of detainees in the united states for medical care. we need to remember that guantanamo is a first-class facility, operated by dedicated military personnel who put up with an awful lot from detainees. i remember the first time i went to guantanamo. they were housed in a facility that is not the facility where they're in today. and there was much more of an open facility where the guards simply would walk back and fo

bay cuba for more of an in-depth coverage on guantanamo bay today i've gone to r.t. correspondent honest and amir and david joining me now on a saucy i want to start with you what was it like as a journalist to go in there and to cover guantanamo bay do you think you actually got a realistic look at what it was like their day day to. well ladies i mean certainly it was very fascinating but curiously even though we had these twelve hour tours every single day visiting detention camps visiting kitchens libraries you name it the curious fact was that at the end of each day we would turn to ourselves and say this just can't be it i mean we have to see more we have to see the detainees we have to see their actual lives and that was unfortunately something we did not get enough of because of this really cover up surrounding the cells even where the detainees are i mean you saw in that report that short good through the dark window that we saw of a detainee and that was pretty much the extent of it and that was one of the things we discovered only when we got there because

this is the guantanamo bay center described as torture the restraint as they're strapped into. they actually call the portrait and that the force feeding takes up to forty five minutes and is performed twice a day. this is the civilian world that said it feels strange. i've never heard this is enough. i have not heard that officials are beyond nonchalant about the highly criticized practice. you might feel differently from the way i might feel uncomfortable has been the most that i've heard that they don't even believe in what they're saying and who doesn't know it sounds stupid i volunteered that the procedure be demonstrated on me. request a client the prisoners who fell to one another and the us because we just keep saying the same thing that we were tortured and abused. they don't tie the hands it to the charity stripe above makes to the ground they put a strap across the tasman forced into a tube into our noses never thirteen years had he been allowed to speak directly to a journalist while remaining and get now only leaking statements to wingers who love nothing more than

detention center at guantanamo bay. well it's now been over six months since president obama took to the podium at the national defense university and spoke about the need for more accountability and transparency for the u.s. drone program the very precision of drone strikes and the necessary secrecy often involved in such actions can end up shielding our government from the public scrutiny that a troop deployment invites could also lead a president and his team to view drone strikes as a cure all for terrorism and for this reason i've insisted on strong oversight of all lethal action. after i took office my administration began briefing all strikes outside of iraq and afghanistan to be appropriate committees of congress it was around that same time that his administration leaked that one step he would take towards more accountability would be to shift the drone campaign from the jurisdiction of the cia to that of the defense department however fast forward six months later to today and the cia remains at the helm of dr
