Off to Guantanamo Bay
It took six months of planning, but we're finally off to Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. Patrick Fleming and I are flying down this afternoon to spend a few days shooting a couple stories at the detention facilities at the U.S. Naval Base. We return to Florida on Thursday.
The stories will air on the University of Florida's PBS station, WUFT-TV. I'd like to thank the station and the College of Journalism & Communications for financing the trip. Needless to say, we're both excited to be traveling to Cuba and we're looking forward to bringing back a few good stories.
This will be an interesting time to visit GITMO for a few reasons. First, President Obama wants the detention facilities shut down by January. Whether that's going to happen in time or happen at all is a major point of discussion. Not to mention what will happen to the detainees.
