Trump and Guantanamo Bay – His source of inspiration?

The notorious Guantanamo Bay has long been a source of controversy for the United States. Yet, it remains open. How does this facility set up in the war of terror keep going? And how has it inspired the way Trump wants to treat prisoners today? Attorney Joshua Colangelo-Bryan has written about detainees he’s represented and his experience at Gitmo in his new book Through the Gates of Hell: American Injustice at Guantanamo Bay, and joins Nikki and Chris to discuss.  Back us on Patreon – we need your help to keep going.
