this is on the perception that the u.s. may be an exporter of terrorism. say a russian businessman who was dubbed the merchant of death will not be extradited immediately victor boot is wanted in the u.s. on charges including arms smuggling in terrorism. and this is spector the mastermind behind the double suicide attack on the moscow metro in march have links to international terror networks the evidence was uncovered after maggie. was killed in a special operation by russian security service. brings you a special report that takes a look inside the infamous guantanamo bay prison stay with us here on r.t. .

yes. erik. sweden. a friend to feel and. pledging to. see what time of day so. we wanted it's possible. it is it is possible let me give you a different number or a u.s. air force captain off of russia. oh affairs care problem hello my name is eric and the insights from swedish. regarding visits to. face yes we have quite a quarter we go. just about every wednesday. and there and i quite get from

puerto rico to guantanamo the flights are story. you will be required to pay twelve dollars a night for person. watching. and whatever extent as you occur for telephone or area and me off. you'll be able to see the care for which they are detained and. you'll see a somewhat of a dissident and you'll be able to photograph it all right this is very good if we share yeah i thank you very much appreciate it saw it carry more proper question to make off. yet. i think when i. say that i've had is actually having the. media it's interesting talking to people. from sweden from the middle east from north

america. just having the opportunity to speak with different people. here how they feel politics it's it it's an interesting experience and i feel like this is lieutenant moss 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 filling 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. will be released later when he returns to sweden he'll give only one press conference. you say five months. it's. all these trips six trips in two years where were you.

supported bin laden and al qaeda. fighters did you carry on what do you think of bin laden. and after that he won't talk to us he refuses to talk to anyone who has anything to do with the media. or to tell his story we have to go back. to long before the press conference. was still held. and when there was only one official version as you can hear it on the radio station voice of america. being scrutinized. the u.s. naval base at guantanamo bay cuba. select few american servicemen and u.s. officials have direct contact with the prisoners. u.s. officials detainees are not tortured or subject to any cruel treatment during

interrogation sessions in fact. their way to make the captors feel comfortable to coax information from them. 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. forty to forty five degrees of heat. and. totally isolated not allowed to speak to see or to hear but mountings father didn't know that it was the other way around it was matter together with most of the other prisoners that had in fact decided to stop talking rumor now was that it wasn't forty degrees one hundred guntown him or any more that the army had started exposing prisoners to

freezing temperatures to get them to talk what i would do is urge him as a father to reach out to communicate with his son via a letter which we will transport and ask his son to just cooperate come clean 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 is to start to talk again all that's what we're trying the geneva conventions but he by his conduct is not the benefits of privileges to be a prisoner of war. think about them in chains day and

night. whose father. you need to keep in mind that the people in u.s. custody are not there because they stole a car. or robbed a bank. that's not why they're there they are not common criminals. they're enemy combatants and terrorists who are be detained for acts of war against our country and that is why different rules. the head of the international red cross for example people who are experts in human rights issues say plenty of community what you're doing is against. human rights conventions there was 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 primarily. the first matter he brought a. prisoner he was very forthright very frank and very concerned . the situation seemed to be out of control.

and. simply. nobody was the president. only the president's inner circle world where. in the he wrote 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. discussions came to the simple conclusion 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.

now. we still haven't. he's still being held here. most of the time we're on this bus touring all the recreational activities of vailable to the soldiers stationed here . when the operation. was something that was new and everything. through the u.s. . troops to keep.

kentucky fried chicken pizza. the subway here slowly we're improving the condition of the soldiers and this is just right but we haven't come here to take part in the soldiers' delight over the variety of fast 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 sergeant johnson the man behind the scenes who has the authority over our guides. the second is colonel mcqueen responsible for security. as much as you can. how do you.

see the. rights to people to be treated humanely fair for our. military profession as military professionals i've been given a mission and that mission says that i will safely secure the detainees within camp delta and by the humane treatment people. 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 that. detention standpoint. each and every detainee here is being treated humanely.

still trying to convince meditate 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's promised to help us to get in touch with other prisoners released from guantanamo. this is jamal from manchester who was with methane guantanamo. and there's many who still hasn't decided if he wants to talk. you know i don't even remember the first me i was remember. speak you. know because what they would do the americans will put you next to each different people to see if you know up as the from before off up as speaks english that put an extra person to see you know is there any connection with these guys from you know maybe the mark know that you're from before d.c. are there oh yeah because when people constantly moved around. what.

you. or. i once thought i would like to let them know. for me. to be. maybe. it seems hard to talk about what happened to them in guantanamo. especially for men. maybe because he's devoted two years to keeping silent. i was born more tortured physically. my head complicated with americans told them all they wanted to know.

for about six months but it was too much so i stopped talking with them for two years. they started using the methods you've heard about you know i've been in the interrogation room i was kept in there for twelve fourteen hours. and they put on air conditioning and about thirteen degrees below zero. my stupid you're talking to the god. and this caused a loss and we have you on the next phase being someone who's next to you on this kind of suffering so yeah i did the same thing to the cops.

my name is sergeant andrew slain. enough for thirty eight military police company from early kentucky. and to get this. i think that they're like this. maybe in this case law enforcement from slade ohio. and then specialist michael from spending. you know the swedish guy he's there. i personally actually i can tell you that

we don't comment on specific details or specific nationalities so that question to him he would be ok and. the. money even the names just don't do my job they finished third one of them is still in there. 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 has agreed to a short interview he is in an unusually good mood. mission to detain him

a combat and then to gain intelligence from there to be able to win the global war on terrorism and so we are detaining combatants in a humane manner in a matter. that is appropriate today 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

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. back he's 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 taking complained about policy dealing with those first hours he would come and sit down in front of the cage and speak to the detainee's that within the cages and then the

soldiers the american soldiers would sue pleased to see the big general come down and sit down on the ground the phone. bank gun fired because he was too nice to the prisoners. and was opposed to a secret list of unconventional questioning methods that outward goldring out of 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 those of us here know we came just after you had. you know why. and. have you heard anything. nothing that i would want to repeat because i don't know if it is true. and as far as the history of general back to.

all we know as far as he was he everyone here is on a tourist. six months and he finishes six months already more home we called up and baucus is old press secretary and southern command all balls. and 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 retired out earlier this month. so be argued i had no way of getting into either but baucus has not retired he has been reassigned to a desk job. in you his phone number. at the area or row one. now. this rebeca many me as. a filmmaker and. i

do have 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 number far into the other command of public affairs officer you don't talk about at this point i'm. off the record or. ok thank you for calling. is not of 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. fast charging of iraqi citizens. this is a bad brings a further assurance that the torture chambers and the secret police are gone

forever. but when these pictures from saddam's ghraib prison 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. against. first the enemy personnel by people you know it happens in school. if.

the. world that was undergoing that sean a lot of other things but then they sent in a girl who. will come to me and she came up to me and started to talk. 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 closer to see certain spots then i would 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 you know we but she said that whenever i wanted to see her and she said 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. 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

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 even in. order to get a piece of paper like this which. interrogation techniques. these are techniques actually approved by. defense donald rumsfeld 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 uncomfortable position. where.

they also want permission under medical supervision to lower the temperature in interrogation rooms. and take advantage of prisoners. for example of prisoners fear of dogs. so here you have our search area of defense the use of dogs and of course the word phobias is particularly interesting because that has to do with. their. just for muslims the dogs are on cle but later happens in the interrogation room when the new methods are implemented only the prisoners know and their interrogators the problem is that the interrogators at guantanamo don't give interviews with one exception tora nelson.
