6. What is the perspective of most Cubans toward GITMO?
7. What is the Military Commissions Act (2006)?
8. How many people are currently detained?
9. How many people are currently working on the base?
Research three articles from the last month from reputable sources to talk about in class about recent events about Guantanamo Bay.

For each topic please address the following points:
· Basic Definition (What is it? Is it renewable or nonrenewable? Clean?
· How it works, technology
· Consumption information (how much is used to create power)
· How it is produced
· How it affects the environment
· Distribution (where is it found? Who uses the most? Where are the best available resources?)
· Controversy (is there any?)
· Danger associated
· Government involvement/control/regulation
