Reporter there will not be torture at i am confident there will not be torture at guantanamo. Reporter 21 of the remaining detainees have been cleared for release to other countries but that leaves some of the most dangerous people still at guantanamo. The obama administrations plan for those risky prisonerses, like 9 11 mastermind Khaled Sheikh mohammed, was to transfer them to highsecurity prisons in the u. S. , but the Republicanled Congress blocked it. Texas congressman Mac Thornberry the fear is they will be a magnet for other terrorists to them out or just to punish the communities. Reporter lee wolosky, the administrations envoy for closing guantanamo, disagrees. We have consistently housed dangerous terrorists in our federal prison system without incident. Reporter the administration estimates it will soon cost 10 million per year per guantanamo detainee. And they say that exorbitant cost should be reason enough for the next president to shut it down.

Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. Is, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. No matter how our disciplined approach remains.
