The journalists at CBS This Morning on Thursday were very concerned about the detainees at Guantanamo Bay, but not so much about the threat they pose. Instead, correspondent Margaret Brennan reported live from Cuba and let the world know that these men saw the election of Donald Trump as “the end of the world.” As a network graphic fretted over the “forever prisoners,” Brennan worried, “Donald Trump's campaign pledge to stop this prison from closing has left the fate of many prisoners in limbo.”

She highlighted a detainee lawyer who “is afraid the prison doors will slam shut when Donald Trump takes office,” and that “his client told him the prisoners were on edge on election night.”

Lawyer David Remes lamented, “[My client] said that many detainees thought that it was the end of the world and felt terrible and that many detainees asked for tranquilizers, sleeping pills, because they were so distraught.”

Lest one think that the prisoners are being horribly treated, U.S. Commander Steven Gabavics gave Brennan a tour of the facilities. He explained the amenities for prisoners about to be released: “They'll have refrigerators, they have the shower, they have the TV for access, they'll have a DVD player. They'll have, if they want to, a PlayStation game."

(Just one PlayStation game? Sounds awful.)

Brennan recounted her tour of Gitmo and described one prisoner’s “art show”:

MARGARET BRENNAN: One prisoner spotted our cameras and gave an impromptu art show. We weren't permitted to film his face as he described each painting in a mix of English and Arabic. His name is Khalid Qasim. He is accused of training with Al Qaeda, but he has never charged with a crime, 14 years after arriving here.

It wasn’t until the very end of the segment that the journalist observed, “There is congressional concern that they are being sent to countries that won't adequately monitor them or stop them from posing a future threat."

On Wednesday, CBS journalists covered the facility and repeatedly deemed the prison “controversial.” Co-host Norah O’Donnell noted, “President-elect Trump has different ideas. He wants to put more prisoners in the controversial facility.”

Brennan added, “President-elect Trump campaigned on a promise to expand this controversial military prison.”
