Attorney General Eric Holder ... announce[d] today that five men accused of plotting the September 11, 2001 attacks, including alleged mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, will be tried in a criminal court in New York instead of a military commission. The move marks one of the first major steps by the Obama administration to close the prison at Guantanamo. To assess the future of Guantanamo Bay and the more than 200 men still in detention there, we speak with British journalist and historian Andy Worthington, author of The Guantánamo Files: The Stories of the 774 Detainees in America’s Illegal Prison.

Hello, i think we need more people to reveal the extent of wickedness that is practiced in very dark places by the capitalist western states, most especially the United States. I have just released a book titled capitalism under the magnifying glass. I believe mr Worthington will be shocked to find out america's agenda for Mordern day Africa! YOU DID A GOOD JOB.
