The Troubling Legacy of Guantanamo Bay

Guantanamo Bay has a controversial history, serving various roles over the past century, particularly as a detention center for migrants and alleged terrorists. The facility is currently being utilized to relocate immigrants deemed too dangerous for the U.S., echoing sentiments from past administrations regarding the so-called 'worst of the worst.' Critics highlight that this characterization is often misleading, as many detainees, including those involved in the post-9/11 detainment era, turned out to be misclassified or wrongfully held without charges. The podcast discusses how the lack of oversight in these situations raises alarming questions about the treatment and conditions faced by those detained at Guantanamo.
