Dean Hutson: Guantanamo a "black eye" on the face of the U.S.

The Dean is in Washington, D.C. today, testifying in a Senate Judiciary Committee hearing on the legal rights of Guantanamo detainees.

He told the committee:

"The prison at Guantanamo Bay has been a black eye on the face of the United States for far too long. Closing it should be at the top of the detention and interrogation policy 'to-do' list....
"The real problem is not where to hold the detainees, it is what to do with them. Presently, we have two legal processes to deal with them, the Combatant Status Review Tribunal (CSRTs) and military commissions. Both are irredeemably flawed."

Read the Dean's entire testimony.
