Obama’s Justice Department Struggles to Prosecute Guantanamo

Craig DenUyl The Paw Print “That was my house growing up,” said my guide, M.B. “And that’s the park where they used to freeze to death in the winters,” she added pointing almost directly across the street. That day M.B. drove me all around her Colorado town, located just a short drive outside of the […]
