Six Iranian mariners were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard cutter from a troubling ship in the Persian Gulf.

The controversial Guantanamo Bay prison is once again on a hot seat after a new proceeding regarding the release of extremely disturbing videotapes showing Saudi national being abused at the said detention center was filed on Monday at the New York court.

The act of abuse depicted on the videotape has been regarded as "torture" by a former official in the Bush administration.

The new lawsuit appears 10 years since the first detainees (captured during the U.S. worldwide war on terror) arrived at the Guantanamo Bay jail in Cuba. Lawyers in the Bush administration considered the detention center was out of the U.S. courts' jurisdiction.

Pres. Barack Obama, when officially acted on his role, ordered the closing of the controversial detention center. However, firm resistance in Congress regarding housing prisoners in the U.S. and keeping them in resident courts has left the majority of the 171 inmates in midway while the base remains open.

More than half of the detainees were deemed to be too unsafe to be released by the administration and have been given imprecise detention with no trial or charges. For several years now, up to 779 prisoners were incarcerated, 500 were released by Bush and 67 by Obama.

Bahrt Azmy, Center for Constitutional Rights legal director, said to msnbc.com that Guantanamo is unfortunately becoming a fixture.

Azmy talked about the previous wartime where blips of reduced civil liberties occurred, which we anyway restored normalcy. The director said the president who expressively condemned it has agreed to its presence.

The Obama administration disagreed to his description. The spokesman of the State Department cleared to NBC News the settling of closing the controversial prison is for the sake of national security. The administration is extending its efforts to shut down the facility.
