Is Obama tossing out the Constitution with his new anti-terror plan?
Closing Guantanamo Bay's prison will do little to close the debate
on what we should do with alleged terrorists. NOW ON PBS, as part
of a collaboration with the nonprofit investigative unit
ProPublica, investigates the controversial tactic of "preventative
detention," a government plan that may detain suspects indefinitely
without trial or even formal charges.
Implementing such a plan may have far-reaching consequences on not
just our fight against terrorism, but the integrity of the U.S.
Constitution and the cause of human rights.
Even with President Obama in office and Gitmo's days numbered,
we're still asking: What price will we pay for peace on the ground
and peace of mind?
Online: In an eye-opening Web-exclusive video, a government
prosecutor talks candidly about his appointment to convict an
alleged 9/11 conspirator and the surprising decision he made after
gaining access to what he considers evidence of torture.
