President Obama gave Congress his latest plan to close the U.S. military prison at Guantanamo Bay. The prison was set up by the George W. Bush administration to house terror suspects after 9/11. When President Obama took office, he vowed to close the facility and transfer detainees to their home countries or prisons on U.S. soil. The president said the new plan is not only right for national security but also would save $300 million over 10 years. Opponents are not buying those arguments. A panel of experts discusses the latest White House effort to shutter Guantanamo prison and why Congress is not likely to approve it.
