Ann Arbor -- A panel at the University of Michigan Law School is probing the future of U.S. security as the clock ticks down for the detention facility at Guantanamo Bay in Cuba.
The Thursday panel includes Elisa Massimino, CEO and executive director of Human Rights First, as well as two retired military officers, U.S. Navy Rear Admiral John Hutson and U.S. Army Maj. Gen. William Nash.
Hutson was the Navy's judge advocate general from 1997 to 2000 and now is president and dean of the Franklin Pierce Law Center in Concord, N.H.
