From the Vault: People's Historian on How Magna Carta Provisions Are Violated in Guantánamo Bay

Watch Amy Goodman's 2005 interview with people's historian Peter Linebaugh about the Magna Carta's history and how it relates to the U.S. prison at Guantánamo Bay.

Then be sure to catch our new interview with Limbaugh on the 800th anniversary of the historic manifesto, when he joins us from Lincoln Castle in Lincolnshire, England, where in a lockstone vault are kept the finest originals of the Magna Carta and the charters of English liberty.
