US National Public Radio considers the 166 prisoners remaining in Guantanamo Bay, almost 11 years after the first detainees were put behind bars and wire in the American "War on Terror". It also talks about those who have left, such as Canadian citizen Omar Khadr --- shut away as a 15-year-old in 2002 and released to a Canadian prison last month --- and those who have died, such as Adnan Latif, who apparently committed suicide in September.

The interviewees are Carol Rosenberg, a reporter for the Miami Herald, and Latif's lawyer Mark Falkoff.
