it was really interesting that eighty six of be prisoners at guantanamo bay. the charges have been dropped against them and yet they are not able to leave guantanamo bay because the funding is not available when our process can't work without congress authorized and i think if we had eighty six prisoners these charges had been dropped and they'd been indefinitely detained in america we would find that extremely unfair and horrifying and i'm not really sure why. we should be held to this standard that when you know we obviously have a commitment to due process and these people haven't been charged with. with any kind of crime this is so destructive to the united states of america is it really such great value to the republican party that they're willing to damage the reputation of america and to blow up our basic principles of due process well you can blame the republicans the republicans who made us a campaign promise that he was going to close this place without doing some basic homework like maybe figure out where you want to put them because he had memories

you remember there has been a hunger strike at guantanamo bay. that certainly ramped up the pressure. and he did call for closing guantanamo bay. here's what he had to say more broadly. take a listen. >> from our use of drones to the detention of terrorist suspects, the decisions that we are making now will define the type of nation and world that we leave to our children. so america is at a cross roads. we must define the nature and scope of this struggle or else it will define us. as commander-in-chief, i must weigh these heart tragedies against the alternatives. to do nothing in the face of terrorist networks would invite far more civilian casualties. not just in our cities at home and our facilities abroad but in the very places like kabul and mogadishu where terrorists seek a foothold. >> reporter: now, of course, the use of drones has been controversial to some extent. according to the latest gallup poll, 65% of americans actually support the use of drones abroad on foreign enemies. however, only 41% support the use of drones when you are t

and that idea of this being a sort of little guantanamo bay obviously excluding me concerning a one that we've already seen the u.k. government a really trying to me away from but the u.k. lawyers have been very clear here that parliamentarians did not know about this that this was not known to the british public so you've got the defense secretary on the one side saying you know this is very different to guantanamo bay in a number of very important respects predominantly that this is for the detainees own protection and also that this wasn't a secret that the people heard about it and this is being spoken about unequal the u.k. lawyers saying you know hang on a second absolutely not this was a secret facility and this is the public awakening now so i think certainly what you're seeing it has been discussed in the possible what you're seeing now with this realisation of the number of people being detained at cannes last year and also this kind of question mark exactly huge walking away is certainly going to justify much closer scrutiny now around this and certainly going to raise some co

when he talked about guantanamo bay, it cost the american taxpayer $150 million a year. it's $1 million per prisoner when on average on a prison in pennsylvania and elsewhere, it's about $48,000. so let's get -- and some of those folks, you know, are going to go back to their countries to be detained elsewhere. >> when you look at the fact, krystal, the president has now addressed guantanamo bay, which some of us that supported him were disappointed in, and drones, which i've disagreed with, he's now moving closer to where even some of his own base has said we're with you but these things we're not with. i think that this gives a sense that maybe the president has not only ended the bush era as we knew it in these policies but began to turn the corner where foreign policy and where we're dealing with questions of military and defense in this country is going to go. >> i think that's right and i think the point on guantanamo is really important. i mean, not to go back through the history of all of this, the president made it a priority. he tried to close guantanamo bay an

on guantanamo, i think he's going to reiterate first of all his commitment to close guantanamo bay. and he'll announce a couple of steps that will help accomplish that. probably the most significant of which will be a lifting of the moratorium on transferring prisoners from guantanamo back to yemen. some of this, a lot of this will depend on cooperation with congress and i think he'll issue a calling on congress to cooperate with him. in terms of prisoner transfers. so those are you know, there will be a big message and then these couple of substantive steps. >> but at the same time, susan paige, he's going to put it back on congress to permit these transfers to go forward. congress has put a lot of restrictions on them. the president could take the step of going around congress and waiving all of those restrictions. not sure that he's going to go that far. >> well, some of the restrictions i think would be very difficult to weigh because you have to make assurances that you're sure that the detainees won't then turn around and again be in a position to threaten the united states. h
