Albany, NY – Guantanamo has become the symbol of America's response to the 9/11 terrorist attacks...and what's been done in the name of security has caused many people around the world to question our claim to the moral high ground. The National Geographic Channel spent three weeks inside Guantanamo and recently aired a documentary it called Explorer: Inside Guantanamo Bay. One of the people featured in that special was Sgt. Jane Smith. She served two tours of duty as a guard at Guantanamo...and she's now out of the military and preparing to go back to school.
