Forever Prison | Retro Report

Guantanamo Bay has become a symbol of the war on terror, but its story actually begins a decade before, when it was first used to detain thousands of Haitians outside the reach of U.S. law. This story was created in collaboration with NPR and PBS, FRONTLINE. Lesson plan for educators: retroreport.org/video/forever...

They were given food, shelter, medical. They were asked to stay there while us figured out how to handle them. It had to be better than Haiti? But they had to act out . So I don't feel sorry at all.
