Scott talks to Andy Worthington about Guantanamo Bay, where dozens of

prisoners are still detained without charges under suspicion of

involvement in terrorism. Worthington reminds us that President Obama

campaigned on closing the prison, but quickly gave up after resistance

from republicans. Trump, meanwhile, has kept his campaign promise not

to release any more prisoners. Worthington fears that the plight of

these men being detained with no hope of justice is simply not a cause

most Americans care about. He continues to do what he can to keep the

issue in the public consciousness.
