7:54 am
i can send messages back to form a personally. so i know you were here with me and say i worked in this place again and you know, the people that did the torture and abuse, they no longer gone. it's just complex the, i mean there's different ways in which this country can hear. those who are in power have a fall, great to own this than anybody else to lead the way and
7:55 am
lead the way by showing and proving that there's no retribution, no. 2 so now we're going to go and see the loss of can present it was released last you and hearing from him will be a different perspective because he's spent a huge amount of time in guantanamo and can tell us what it's like to integrate into the society. and to us good, what that means that you mean going to the middle of the sense of the moment that he he loves understand a and this i had thought the let me, let's see. so, so let's smoking anisette the much. i will love this
