Ten years after the detention center at Guantanamo Bay was established for prisoners in the war on terror, Brookings senior fellow Ben Wittes says he feels confident that past abuses have been addressed and the prison is now a model of detention. He says despite criticisms and continuing calls to close Guantanamo, it will likely remain open for some time to come.
