Customer Reviews
Well Done and informative
Listening to this series has given me a new perspective on the inner workings of Gitmo. The thought that the United States could hold these men without charges for such an extended period is nothing short of shameful. If they weren’t radical Muslim Jihadist prior to their incarceration they certainly will be now. I cannot imagine if it were me that was held captivate by a foreign government for 10 to 20 years without charges that I would not be seeking retribution. While I understand the fear that all Americans felt after 9/11, I am certain there has to be a better way that this to punish those responsible.
We ride at dawn for Carol!!!
Carol Rosenberg is my idol. Truly iconic to be so good at your job, people are banned from speaking to you.
