Cynthia Berger talks with John Kramer about the new prison… and then, The Obama Administration faces tough questions about what to do with the remaining prisoners at Guantanamo and on how to conduct U.S. detention policy in the future. Greg McNeal, an expert on national security law and policy discusses these issues. Patty Satalia discussed the topic with McNeal in the WPSU studios.
