A Guantanamo Diary: Part 2

by Marianne McCune



NEW YORK, NY October 20, 2005 —In the three years since the U.S. has been holding detainees at Guantanamo Bay, the public has heard few details about the prisoners. But since civilian attorneys won the right to visit the men, more information has been surfacing.

WNYC's Marianne McCune gave a recorder and mic to two New York attorneys with the law firm Allen and Overy - to take listeners along as they represent 11 Yemeni detainees. Yesterday, they took us as close as they could to the prison itself. Today, they take the recorder to Yemen to meet the families of their clients.
