if you saw it carry more proper question because. if you care. i think when i leave here watanabe one most interesting experiences that i've had is actually have the opportunity to ask for the media around it's interesting talking to people from all around the world from korea from sweden from the middle east from north america from all around the world is how the after change speak with different people and you know this here how they feel about the detainees here how they feel about world politics it's a it's an enriching experience and i feel like this is rooted in laws 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 is marty will be released later on when he returns to sweden to give only one press conference. you say you spent five months on of jonestown where did use the as far as you finance all these trips six trips in two years where were you substandard eleventh two thousand and one did you support bin laden and al qaeda did you meet 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. but to tell his story we have to go back in time to long before the press conference. was still held at guantanamo and when there was only one official version as you

can hear it on the radio station voice of america and al qaeda detainees are being scrutinized and interrogated at the u.s. naval base at guantanamo bay cuba only a select few american servicemen and u.s. officials have direct contact with the prisoners. u.s. officials insist that detainee needs are not torture or subject to any cruel treatment during interrogation sessions in fact they say some interrogators go out of their way to make the captors feel comfortable hoping to coax information from them in an easygoing fashion. exactly right here the story could have ended if it wasn't for this man who we saw in a public square in stark home he's marty's father and he had a feeling that things were not good at guantanamo and one to two for one eight

or forty two forty five degrees of heat locked up and chained and the day and night totally isolated not allowed to speak to see or to hear but not things 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 one hundred guntown the anymore of 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 a term in his future care 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 both he and his conduct is not the benefits of it which is to be a prisoner of war. i think. in chains day and night so we have for me. whose father. we need to keep in mind that the people in u.s. custody are not there because they stole the car. or robbed the bank.

that's not why they're there they're not common criminal. they're enemy combatants and terrorists who would be detained for acts of war against our country and that is why different rules after. saying no and the head of the international red cross for example people break spirits are human rights issues state country and clearly what you're doing is against. human rights conventions there was a fundamental problem the only thing i know for certain is that these are bad people the united states at one point in time sign of the geneva convention there it's stated that prisoners of war need only to answer four questions name rank and 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 you 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. this situation seems to be out of control. tony be. simply choose to give a shit. 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 got him thinking and after extensive

discussions he 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 unlawful. no one had heard this word before. and no one knew what the consequences were going to. watch occupied afghanistan. now. we're at guantanamo or good mo as the army has nicknamed it we still haven't met my team he's still being held being here. most of the time we're on this bus touring all the recreational activities of

a little to the soldiers stationed here. when the operation first started out here it was something that was new and just like with everything you want to improve in fruited in the u.s. military has a lot of emphasis on pride in trying to prove the living standards for its troops to keep morale. bays in. the subway here 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 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.

in the. person in front is sergeant gary johnson the man behind the scenes who has the authority over our guides as the second man is colonel mcqueen responsible for security. in this matter how much as much as you can. leaving how do you do. we are americans everywhere and being american soldiers we come up with a way of life for democracy that provides rights to people to be treated humanely fair for our system how do you do that because i'm a military profession as military professional i've been given a mission and that mission says that i will safely secure the detainees within camp delta and that i will provide a humane treatment people that i did. 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 don't 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 them from the detention standpoint. each and every detainee here is being treated humanely. he. still trying to convince met him 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 nothing in guantanamo. and there is a man who still hasn't decided if he wants to talk with each other. others

remember a. speaker you. know because they're what they would do the merkel put you next to each different people to see if you know a person from before office speaks english they put an x up as and to see you know is there any connection with these guys from you know maybe the marketer from before dizzy was part of it. oh yeah eleven people constantly moved around what got to you heard was cool. or i would say that. i once had a i would like to let them know. so i'll refuse to answer that one. it was for me the most crucial thing here is to be. where you are. and maybe.

it seems hard to talk about what happened to them in guantanamo. especially from. 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. 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. 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 the reason below zero it.

we saw not 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 in this crisis so yeah i did the same thing i still talk to the cost. of. my name is sergeant andrew slain. in the four thirty eight military police company from murray kentucky. who are the good to read this and think it is. like this. i'm making this case law enforcement

from toledo ohio. and any specialist michael from is going to get. you know the swedish guy he's there you see. i personally actually i can tell you that you know we don't comment on specific detainee or specific nationalities so they question him he would be ok and. the. money given to the games is still doing my job there is obviously a story of one of them going there. so much.

that one ton of 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. is agreed to a short interview he is in in an unusually good mood j t f one columnist mission is to detain any combatants and then to gain intelligence from there to be able to win the global war on terrorism and so we are detaining the combatants in humane manner in a matter. that is appropriate to do it in their cordons 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.

what. the when we were doing lease 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 outsources that we call see. actually one.

i can't say on the. back there is a one star general brigadier general. we 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. who would come and sit down in front of the cage and that she speaks they think it's a nice guy with the cages and then the soldiers the american soldiers with some pleased to see the big general come down and sit down on the ground in front of. his gun fired because he was too nice to the prisoners. and was opposed to a secret list of unconventional questioning methods outward goldring out. is that. some of the interrogations say i don't have to prove.

the violation. on rights or what we would are sure where you are here with the general who is was here no we came just after you are you know way into. there. have you heard anything. nothing that i would want to repeat because i don't know whether this is true. and as far as the history general that is. all we know as far as he was he everyone here is on a tourist. six months and he finishes six months already whoa whoa we called up the 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 norbury retired or even yet even retired our earlier this month. so we are to do i have no way gates i didn't either but baucus

has not retired he has been reassigned to a desk job. out in you know his phone number and the area or row on ninety three now. the tribeca hi my name is ken the filmmaker and. i do have to ask if you quest is a bad one tell them all about what happened there. but you know that i'm not on there anymore and any public affairs that are either not referring to the public me i'm the public affairs officer. you don't to talk about let's head to the point i'm not off the record or. ok thank you for calling. off the story now by case. we would contact him again. even if he isn't just

a small the 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. 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. used to secure a very traditionally the first only know me personally but i have met people who is open to the unskilled. if. for the. world it was under their child 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 tertiary give me a massage so she grabbed me as certain places and and she actually

told me that she could do plenty for me. but when she came closer just certain spots then i put up my hands 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 we just tell them that you want to see me. and then we'll arrange everything and after that and 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 right happens to the prisoners that are still being held there and are these methods really sentient from above. part of the answer comes thanks to the album 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 to. get a piece of paper like this which is called evolution of interrogation techniques one count of these are techniques actually approved by our secretary of defense

donald rumsfeld and if you read them you get sickened by 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 hour sessions remove prisoners clothes let them stand naked in uncomfortable positions make them where. they also want permission under medical supervision to lower the temperatures in interrogation rooms. and take advantage of prisoners phobia. for example prisoners fear of dogs. so you have our secretary of defense for the rising the use of dogs of course the word phobias is particularly interesting because that has to do with. the religious fare for muslims or dogs

around cle later happens in the interrogation room. when the new methods are implemented only the prisoners know and their interrogators problem is being carried leaders at guantanamo don't give interviews with one exception tauren nelson. well. the latest in science and technology from around russia. we've got the future covered.
