One activist spoke to @N2Sreports contributor @T_Jones_Media describing how Washington Post has "done insufficient and minimal coverage of the continuing" operation of Guantanamo, despite Obama and Biden promising to close it.

Here is the full @N2Sreports video of protesters demanding the abolition of #Guantánamo Bay Detention Camp, filmed by @T_Jones_Media.
