I have recently become involved in a BBC effort that solicits commentary and analysis of BBC-produced programs. It gave me the opportunity to listen to this documentary broadcast on the Guantanamo Bay prison - but with the emphasis on prisoners who have been released.
It is a program that does not spoon-feed the listener the viewpoint they are supposed to be adopting like so many US "cable news" programs these days. You actually need to think here - the story is told through the experiences of real people who were incarcerated at Guantanamo. The story eventually tells itself very well, and it is not a pretty one for US citizens who in a very real way are responsible for the unjust, inhuman, and quite frankly invented reasons for keeping some of these people there at all.
