120509MulgrewAAThe Response is a recreation of the proceedings at the controversial Guantanamo U.S. military base in Cuba, where detainees suspected of ties to either al-Qaida or the Taliban are housed.

The suspects appear before tribunals which determine if they are being properly classified as enemy combatants.

In the thirty-minute courtroom drama, Mulgrew plays Colonel Sims, a conservative colonel who believes that the president should have the right to detain people considered a national security threat.
