President Obama promised to close the Guantanamo Bay prison, used to hold suspected terrorists. Ten years after 9/11...we’re seemingly no closer to a resolution about how to handle these detainees.

Attorney General Eric Holder went out on a limb - calling for civilian trials - only to have his idea ditched by the administration.

Glenn Sulmasy, a Professor of Law at the United States Coast Guard Academy has been studying this issue for years...he recently wrote a San Fransisco Chronicle opinion piece examining the issue.

Federal funding is gone.

Congress has eliminated all funding for public media.

That means $2.1 million per year that Connecticut Public relied on to deliver you news, information, and entertainment programs you enjoyed is gone.

The future of public media is in your hands.

All donations are appreciated, but we ask in this moment you consider starting a monthly gift as a Sustainer to help replace what’s been lost.
