7:35 pm
america. just having the opportunity to speak with different people. here politics it's it it's an interesting experience and i feel like. and his job is to show us that everything is ok here. but we have come here because we want to know what is really going on at guantanamo. filming isn't allowed inside the prison camp so we were thinking of shooting with a hidden camera. unfortunately that's just not going to happen. we know there's a swedish guy held inside here his name is. will be released later and when he returns to sweden he'll give only one press conference. you say. it's. all these trips six trips in two years where were you.
7:36 pm
do you support bin laden and al qaeda. fighters did you carry on what do you think of bin laden. after that he won't talk to us he refuses to talk to anyone who has anything to do with the media. to tell his story we have to go. to long before the press conference. was still held. when there was only one official version as you can hear it on the radio station. the u.s. . servicemen and u.s. officials have direct contact with the prisoners. detainees are not torture subject cruel treatment during interrogation sessions in fact.
7:37 pm
their way to make the captors feel comfortable to coax information from. fashion. exactly right here the story could have ended if it wasn't for this man we saw in a public square. and he had a feeling that things were not good. at one time. and one two two four one eight forty two forty five degrees of heat locked up unchained and then feed day and night totally isolated not allowed to speak to see or to hear but magic's father didn't know that it was the other way around it was matted together with most of the other prisoners that had in fact decided to stop talking. rumor now was that it wasn't forty degrees or how did any more of the army had started exposing prisoners
7:38 pm
to freezing temperatures to get them to talk. is urged him. to reach out to communicate with his son. which we will transform and ask just cooperate. this will help him determine his future pierre richard prosper the man with a good advice and puppy dog eyes. he is an expert of international law and is signed by the president to visit the countries that have citizens being held at guantanamo. here he was in sweden to persuade mentees father to convince his son to start to talk again. find the geneva conventions but he by his conduct the benefits of. a prisoner of war.
7:39 pm
think. in chains day and night. you need to keep in mind that the people in u.s. custody are not because they stole the car. or robbed a bank. that's not why there they're. they're enemy combatants and terrorists who are be detained for acts of war against our country and that is why different rules after. the head of the international red cross for example people break spirits and human rights issues say plenty of clearly what you are doing is against. human rights conventions there was
7:40 pm
a fundamental problem. is that these are bad people the united states at one point in time signed the geneva convention. stated that prisoners of war need only to answer for questions of name rank nationality and i.d. number. four simple questions won't get you very far when you need answers to hundreds of questions a prison camp full of prisoners of war who only need to answer for questions is a useless prison camp. but there were no other rules. and leaders from countries who had citizens at guantanamo were worried prime minister. the first matter he brought up. was the swedish prisoner he was very forthright very frank and very concerned about. the situation seemed to be out of control.
7:41 pm
and. simply. what nobody knew was the president had written a letter. a letter that only the president's inner circle world where oh. in the letter he wrote that there was a new paradigm in the world and the rules were no longer defined by the u.s. but by terrorists this new world order and got him thinking and after extensive discussions he came to the simple conclusion of the geneva convention. could not be applied to terrorists. and for that reason he came up with a new word for the prisoners at guantanamo. no one had heard this word before.
7:42 pm
7:43 pm
troops to keep. these. slowly we're improving the condition of the soldiers and this is just. but we haven't come here to take part in the soldiers' delight over the variety of food we want to know what's really going on here. here we are at the gates to camp delta where the prisoners are kept. the person in front is. johnson the man behind the scenes who has the authority over. the second is colonel mcqueen responsible for security. just how much as much as you can. believe in how do you. we are american so.
7:44 pm
we come up with a way of life a democracy that provides rights to people to be treated humanely fair. because i'm a military professional as military professional i've been given a mission and that mission says that i will safely secure the detainees within camp delta and by humane treatment people dead i didn't. question. the family for example the family of the swedish detainees you know they don't know why he's here they thought that he went to study they have no information they haven't been able to see him for a year what would you tell them if you met them what would you say to them. i would tell detentions standpoint. each and every detainee here is being treated humanely. he.
7:45 pm
still trying to convince many to take this opportunity to tell us what had happened but something always came up making it difficult for us to meet. but now he has promised to help us to get in touch with other prisoners released from guantanamo. this is jamal from manchester who was with matty in guantanamo. and. who still hasn't decided if he wants to talk with. remember all. speak you. know because what they would do the americans will put you next to each different people to see if you know a person from before off opposite speaks english and put it next opposite to see you know is there any connection with these guys from you know maybe the monitor from before d.c. are a bit better oh yeah clever people constantly moved around. what. you
7:46 pm
heard was cool. or i wouldn't say that. i once thought i would want to let them know. well refused to answer that one. for me the most crucial thing here is to be. away. maybe. it seems hard to talk about what happens to them in guantanamo. especially for me. maybe because he's devoted two years to keeping silent. i was in the war nor tortured physically. my head complicated with americans told them all they wanted to know.
7:47 pm
for about six months but it was too much so i just stopped talking with them for two years. they started using the methods you heard about. you know me i've been in the interrogation room i was kept in there for twelve fourteen hours. and they put on air conditioning and about degrees below zero. my stupid you're talking to the god. and this caused a loss and we have you on the next days being someone who's next to you and this guy suffering so yeah i did the same thing myself talk to the cops.
7:48 pm
my name is sergeant dangerously. enough for thirty eight military police company from early kentucky. just going to read it and to good to see. if it's like this. maybe in this case i did a lot of emphasis on some sweet ohio. and in specialist much girl friends and if. you know the swedish guy he's there he's. my personally actually i can tell you
7:49 pm
that we don't comment on specific detainees or specific nationalities so they question him he would be against. the. money even the names just don't do my job as they finish tours of one of them as still in their. don't talk and neither do the prisoners. maybe it has something to do with this man. his name is general miller and he's the commanding officer at guantanamo he's agreed to a short interview he is in an unusually good mood. mission to detain enemy combatants and then to gain intelligence from there to be able to
7:50 pm
win the global war on terrorism and so we are detaining the combatants in a humane manner in a matter. that is appropriate to fit in in accordance as much as we can with the geneva convention. we do we work very hard to ensure that the detainees are maintained. in this manner. but what's wrong with. that. when we were doing this interview with miller we were not aware of how important he was to the story because no other single person has had as much influence over how the prisoners at guantanamo are treated. but what we do know is that miller hasn't always been in charge of the base. before we left we
7:51 pm
found a short article about general rick baucus who was in command before miller. because it was fired under very weird circumstances the only ones who seemed willing to speculate why is military corruption an organization consisting of ex military personnel who investigate corruption within the army ok all i can say to you is we're on the telephone all i can say to you is we have a network of sources that we call see. potential informants. all i can say on the telephone. baggers is a one star general brigadier general. he ran into trouble with a two star general who is in charge of the interrogation. i think it's been they complained about policy dealing with those first hours he would come and sit down in front of the cage and that should speak to the detainee's that within the cages
7:52 pm
and then the soldiers the american soldiers would sue pleased to see the big general come down and sit down on the ground from. gun fired because he was too nice to the prisoners. and was opposed to a secret list of unconventional questioning methods now word goldring out this. is that. some of the interrogations may i don't have to prove. the violation of human rights or what we would not sure where you hear when general was here no we came just after you had a you know why. and. have you heard anything. nothing that i would want to repeat because i don't know if it is true.
7:53 pm
as far as the history of general back in. all we know as far as he was he everyone here is on a tourist. six months and he finishes six months already one home we called up and baucus is old press secretary and southern command. both. you can ask now i don't know how to get budgets that need no longer in the military he retired or even. as he tired out earlier this month. so be argued i have no way of getting into it either but baucus has not retired he has been reassigned to a desk job. and you know his phone number ok the area or row on. now. the street back of many is. a filmmaker ad.
7:54 pm
to ask if you quest is a bad one tell them all about what happened there. was you know that i'm not on there anymore and any public affairs inquiry is number foreign to the other command the public affairs officer. don't talk about it at this point i'm not off the record or. ok thank you for calling. is not the story about baucus. we would contact him again. even if he isn't just a small pawn in a much bigger game. the security of the world requires disarming saddam hussein. saddam hussein and his sons must leave iraq within forty eight hours. passed chardy of iraqi citizens. this event brings a further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone
7:55 pm
forever. but when these pictures from saddam's ghraib prison he came out. it's clear they had a scandal on their hands some say these methods originated in guantanamo we just haven't seen the pictures rumors have also begun to circulate new rumors of interrogators using sex and hip hop music to get people to crack. use the sexual act. to gain against. first the enemy personnel by people who know it happens in school. if.
7:56 pm
the. world it was undergoing that sean a lot of other things but then they sent in a girl who. will continue and she came up to me and starters it's our community. and she told me she could do many things for me so she started to touch me give me a massage and she grabbed me as certain places and and she actually told me that she could do plenty for me. but when she came close and she certain spots then i put up my hands and trying to protect myself and when she saw that at the end she got angry since i didn't want to see you know. but she said that whenever i wanted to see her and she said
7:57 pm
her name was sylvia and. just tell them that you want to see me. and then we'll arrange everything and after that she left. maybe that sounds like a prisoner's wet dream. to have a woman in uniform come in and give him a massage. but we are sure the methods aren't used to for the prisoners comfort and convenience. what kind of bizarre interrogation methods are being used at guantanamo and what happens to the prisoners that are still being held there and are these methods really sanctioned from a. part of the answer comes thanks to the abu ghraib scandal in iraq. which set off
7:58 pm
a storm of protests and a wave of investigations which made public thousands of previously classified documents. human rights activists all over the world began taking measures to get prisoners released from guantanamo. get a piece of paper. which. interrogation techniques. these are actually approved. and if you read them. among all the documents we find a story a story that has its beginning in the fall of two thousand and two they have a problem at guantanamo the prisoners have stopped talking and the old methods don't seem to be effective anymore. now they want to interrogate for twenty hours. remove prisoners clothes let them stand naked in an uncomfortable position. where.
7:59 pm
they also want permission under medical supervision to lower the temperatures in interrogation rooms. and take advantage of prisoners. for example of prisoners fear of dogs. so here you have our secretary of defense authorizing the use of dogs and of course the word phobias is particularly interesting because that has to do with. the religious fare for muslims that dogs are unclean but later happens in the interrogation. when the new methods are implemented only the prisoners know and they're interrogators the problem is that the interrogators at guantanamo don't give interviews with one exception tora nelson.
