The Pentagon today announced that it would transfer 10 detainees out of Guantanamo Bay. The detainees are from Yemen but will be transferred to Oman. Despite campaign promises dating back to 2008, President Obama has been unable to close the prison. But getting to that better way has been a long slog. At the height of the war on terror, Guantanamo held almost 800 prisoners. After today’s news, the number will stand at 93. Madeleine speaks to a journalist who recently visited the prison.
