Fin 2001, à la suite du 11 septembre, le camp appelé «X-Ray» comptait quelque 750 prisonniers. En novembre 2008, le président Barack Obama fait part de son intention de fermer cette prison très controversée. Une promesse réitérée en janvier 2014 lors du discours sur l’état de l’Union au moment où sort le témoignage de Laura.
