choppin going to sound the spotlight again. on the growing number of young couples in and out racing with just my families and community as the truce to marry outside the traditional system. of the headlines from also now rock obama promise to shut down the gun tunnel a bay prison within a year taking office yet nearly two hundred prisoners remain so many of the prison is a synonym for torture and abuse in the u.s. war on terror in our special report take it inside the notorious prison that's next here on elsie.

yes. erik. sweden. a friend we didn't feel and we would like to. see what time of day so. we want to show it's possible. if it is possible to give you a different number or a u.s. air force captain off a process. it appears care problem. many of you spirits can be. swedish. regarding visits to. face yes we have quite a quarter we go. just about every wednesday. and there tonight quite. from puerto rico to guantanamo the flights are story. you will be required to pay twelve

dollars a night for personal. watching. and whatever it is you occur for telephone or area me off. you'll be able to see the care for which they are detained and. you'll see a somewhat of a detention and you'll be able to photograph it all right this is very good if they share yeah i thank you very much if it saw it carry more proper question to make off. yet. i think. that i've had is actually. media it's interesting talking to people. from sweden from the middle east from north of . the world have the opportunity to speak with different people. they feel.

politics it's it it's an interesting experience and i feel like this is. 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 when he returns to sweden he'll give only one press conference. you say five months. how did you finance all these trips six trips in two years where were you. did you support bin laden and al qaeda. fighters did you carry arms 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. 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 tara gated at 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 torture subject to any cruel treatment during interrogation sessions in fact. their way to make their captors feel

comfortable to coax information from. fashion. exactly right here the story could have ended if it wasn't for this man who we saw in a public square. he's my father 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 the day and night 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 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. anymore that the army had started exposing prisoners to freezing temperatures to get them to talk. is urged him. to reach

out to communicate with his son. which we will transport. just cooperate. this will help him determine his future. 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. to persuade. to convince him to start to talk again. in the geneva conventions but he. think. in chains day and night.

you need to keep in mind that the people in u.s. custody. that's not why they're there they're 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 after. the head of the international red cross for example people who are experts and human rights issues say unto you clearly what you're doing is against. human rights conventions there was a fundamental problem. 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 up. was the swedish prisoner he was very forthright very frank and very concerned. the situation seemed to be out of control.

what nobody was the president had written a letter. a letter that only the president's inner circle world where oh. in the letter 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 and got him thinking and after extensive. 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. the army has nicknamed it 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. it was something that was new and everything. through the. living standards for its troops to keep.

slowly we're improving the condition of the soldiers and this is just. but we haven't come here to take part in the soldier's delight over the variety of food we want to know what's really going on here. here we are at the gates to camp where the prisoners are kept. the person in front is. the man behind the scenes who has the authority over. the second is colonel mcqueen responsible for security. as much as you. are leaving how do you. perceive. rights to people to be treated humanely fair for.

military profession as military professional i've been given a mission and that mission says that i will safely secure the detainee camp delta and. humane treatment people. question. the family for example the family of the swedish detainees. 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 . stand. each and every detainee here is being treated humanely. he. still trying to convince me 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 methane guantanamo. and. who still hasn't decided if he wants to talk. you know i don't even remember the first me i just remember um. speak you. know because they're 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 that 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. was part of it. oh yeah clever people constantly moved around. what. you heard was. or i wouldn't say that.

i once thought i would want to let them know. that for me the most crucial thing. is to be. maybe. it seems hard to talk about what happened to them in guantanamo is especially for me. maybe because he's devoted two years to keeping silent. and i was in the war nor tortured physically. my head complicated with americans told them all they wanted to know. for about six months but it wasn't too much so i stopped talking with them for two

years. they started using the methods you heard about. 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 thirteen degrees below zero. i saw my stupid you're talking to the god. and this caused a loss and we have you and the next someone who's next to you and this guy suffering so yeah i did the same thing to the cost.

my name is sergeant andrew slack. enough for thirty eight military police company from murray kentucky. we just know that we did and to get this and. i think that they're like this. maybe in this case federal law enforcement and some sleet ohio. and in specialist records from which i think that. you know the swedish guy he's there he's. my personally actually i can tell you that we don't comment on specific detainees or specific nationalities so they

question him he would be ok and. the. money even days i just don't get my job there that i have a feelings towards one of them is going 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 enemy combatants and then to gain intelligence from there to be able to win the global war on terrorism and so we are detaining these 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 as 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. bad guys 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 can be complained about policy dealing with those first hours and they would come in sit down in front of the cage and i should speak to the detainee's i would then 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 from. 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. violation of human rights or what we would not sure where you hear when general was here no we just after you had. you know why. have you heard anything. nothing that i would want to repeat because i don't know if it is true. 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 a budget they need no longer in the military retired or even the a.f. he retired out earlier this month. so be argued i had no way of getting into i didn't either but baucus has not retired he has been reassigned to a desk job. and you know his phone number get married or row one. now. this writ back of many me as. a filmmaker and. a dream led 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 not refer to the other comedian the public affairs officer you don't talk about 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 is a bad brings a further assurance at 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. you. say sure that. firstly know me personally know by people you know it happens in school. if you. see. the.

world it was on the ground that sean a lot of other things but then they sent in a girl who. will continue and she came up to me and started to talk. and she told me she could do many things for me 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'd 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 heard 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. maybe that sounds like a prisoner's dream. to have a woman in uniform come in and give him. 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. which. 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. remove prisoners. let them stand naked in uncomfortable position. where. they also want permission under medical supervision to lower the temperatures.

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 bear for muslims that dogs around glee 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.
