Sarah Mendelson, the director of the Human Rights and Security Initiative at the Center for Strategic and International Studies, speaks with Daljit Dhaliwal about the likelihood that Europe will resettle the detainees, the role of the Obama administration in the talks and the possibility that some detainees will be sent to the U.S.

I’ve enjoyed Ms. Dhaliwal as presenter since her BBC days. I was also glad to see her Worldfocus pieces on India. I throughly enjoy Martin Savage as presenter and interviewer, but I’m glad to see Ms. Dhaliwal again. Thanks
