Nationwide teach-in broadcasts on campus
The issue of torture tactics in joint U.S. Naval and detainment camp, Guantanamo Bay, took center stage as students watched Internet streaming video from across the nation.
Students gathered in Klas Center Ballroom to listen to panels and discuss topics like the role of military in society, torture devices currently used, American policies concerning them, and the censorship of journalists who cover Guantanamo.
Students from over 270 other colleges and universities tuned in to the broadcasts on their respective campuses. Panelists included journalists from the Times, Miami Herald, and the New Yorker.
The broadcast was a requirement for several classes, and some students expressed their frustration with the panels. Sophomore Carrie Anderson said she thought the panels would have been more informative if they had provided more background information on events they discussed.
The broadcast, held at Seton Hall Law School in New Jersey, began at 9 a.m. and continued until 4:30 p.m. Most of the panels can be found at the school's website for a fee of $20 at law.shu.edu/guantanamoteachin/.
