8: The President and His Captives (Torture, Guantánamo, and The Legal Blackhole)
The Guantánamo Bay detention center is a 45-mile stretch of land the U.S. has leased from Cuba since the Spanish-American War. After 9/11, President Bush needed a place where Due Process, the courts, and lawyers couldn't reach 780 men and boys, many of whom were sold to the U.S. military for a $5,000 bounty.

Yes. ***WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/@RebuttalPodFollow @RebuttalPod on Instagram and @Rebmasel on TikTok :)...
