The New Push To Close Guantanamo (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

Once more with feeling, the President called yesterday for the closing of the detention center at Guantanamo Bay. He laid out a broad plan to do it. He laid out – again – the rationale: that Guantanamo is a costly stain on American core values and a recruiting poster for ISIS. Guantanamo, he said, is counter-productive. Donald Trump and Marco Rubio’s immediate response: keep it open. Ted Cruz’s response: expand it. Republicans in Congress: hands off. This hour On Point, Guantanamo. — Tom Ashbrook
