8 分钟I'm Carol Rosenberg from the New York Times.
Right now, I'm sitting alone in the press room at the US Navy base at Guantanamo Bay.
I've been coming here since four months after the 911 attacks.
I've probably spent around 2000 nights at this navy base.
It's hard to get here.
It's hard to get news from the prison often, you know, I'm the only reporter here.
The New York Times takes you to difficult and controversial places, and that takes resources.

Here's what we're covering.
About an hour ago, following indications that Hezbollah was preparing to fire towards israeli territory, we began striking terrorist targets throughout Lebanon in the Middle east.
This morning, the israeli militarys chief spokesman warned residents of southern Lebanon who lived near Hezbollahs strongholds to evacuate ahead of a series of israeli airstrikes.
In the first of several attacks, dozens of israeli warplanes hit more than 150 targets, according to the israeli military.
The spokesman said the military was currently focusing on a, quote, aerial campaign only.
Lebanon's state run news agency reported extensive damage across a number of towns, and early reports from the health ministry said at least 50 people had been killed and over 300 were injured.
The strikes came after a week of escalation between Israel and Hezbollah.
Yesterday, Hezbollah, which has been firing on Israel in solidarity with Hamas, launched more than 100 rockets, cruise missiles and drones towards Israel.
On Friday, an israeli airstrike near the lebanese capital killed several senior Hezbollah commanders.
