I'm Carol Rosenberg from The New York Times.
Right now I'm sitting alone in the press room at the U.S.
Navy base at Guantanamo Bay.
I've probably spent around 2,000 nights at this Navy base.
I've been coming here since four months after the 9-11 attacks.
I watched the first prisoners arrive in those orange jumpsuits from far away Afghanistan.
Some of these prisoners, they still don't have a trial date.
It's hard to get here.
It's hard to get news from the prison.
Often, you know, I'm the only reporter here.
If you build a military court in prison out of reach of the American people, it should not be out of reach of American journalism.
We have a duty to keep coming back and explain what's going on here.
The New York Times takes you to difficult and controversial places.
It keeps you informed about unpopular and hard-to-report developments, and that takes resources.
You can power that kind of journalism by subscribing to The New York Times.
