H. Candace Gorman is a civil rights/human rights lawyer in Chicago (and advisor to War Criminals Watch) who is representing two Guantánamo detainees pro bono. Having represented these two men for years, and with no end in sight, she shut down her civil rights practice to focus solely on getting her two clients out of Guantanamo, closing Guantánamo and bringing those responsible for and assisting with these particular war crimes to justice.In a speech to high school students in the Chicago area, she explains what motivates her work, reminds us how much remains to be done to return to a rule of law, and answers a student's question: "Doesn't this just piss you off?"
