1:33 am
contained and. you'll see if some of it. and you'll be able to photograph the right this is very good if the issue yeah i thank you very much if you saw it carry more prosser question can be hard. to take care. i think when i leave here what tanabe one most interesting spirit is that i've had is actually have the opportunity to ask 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 mali around the world just have the opportunity to speak with different people and hear this hear how they feel about detainees here how they feel about world politics it's a it's a huge 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
1:34 am
want to know what is really going on and 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 martin he'll be released later and when he returns to sweden it will be of only one press conference if you say you spent five months on of guns down where did you stay as far as you finance all these trips six trips in two years where were you served two thousand was the support of bin laden and al qaeda did you meet al qaeda fighters did you carry arms but 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
1:35 am
story we have to go back in time to long before the press conference. was still held at guantanamo 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 the detainees are not tortured or subject to any cruel treatment during interrogation sessions in fact they say some interrogators go out of their way to make their captors feel comfortable hoping to coax information from them in an easy going fashion. exactly right here the story could have ended if it wasn't for this man we saw in a public square in stockholm he's martis father and he had
1:36 am
a feeling it things were not good at one time. and one to two for one forty two forty five degrees of heat locked up and chained and then three day and night totally isolated not allowed to speak to see or to hear. matchings father didn't know that it was the other way around it was mad 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 a mo anymore and the army had started exposing prisoners to freezing temperatures to get them to talk what i will do is urge him as a father to reach out to communicate with his son via letter which we will transform and ask his son to just cooperate come clean this will help him to turn in his future pierre richard prosper the man with
1:37 am
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 all that for work lined 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. so you know for me. who's his father. still. you need to keep in mind that the people in u.s. custody are not there because they stole a car. or robbed
1:38 am
a bank. 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 rules after. the head of the international red cross for example people break spirits are human rights issues say unto you 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 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
1:39 am
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. the situation seems to be out of control. tony be. simply. turkish. 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.
1:40 am
but by terrorists this new world order and got him thinking and after extensive discussions he came to the simple conclusion of the geneva convey. could not be applied to terrorists. and for that reason he came up with a new word for the prisoners at guantanamo unlawful that. no one had heard this word before. and no one knew what the consequences of this were would. watch occupied afghanistan. now occupy sales at guantanamo bay. we're at guantanamo for good mo as the army has nicknamed it we still haven't met
1:41 am
my t.v. he's still being held him here. most of the time we're on this bus touring all the recreational activities of vailable to the soldiers stationed here. and. when the operation first started out here it was something to it was new and just like with everything you want to prove improve it in the u.s. military it's a lot of emphasis on friday trying to improve the living standards for its troops to keep morale up we're talking about kentucky fried chicken pizza days. of the subway here slowly we're improving the condition of the soldiers and this is just part of it 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
1:42 am
are at the gates to camp delta where the prisoners are kept. the person in front. is sergeant barry johnson the man behind the scenes who has the authority over our guys as the second man is colonel mcqueen responsible for security. service helmets as much as you. are leaving how do you. we are americans. and being american soldiers speak up with a way of life for democracy that provides to their rights to people to be treated humanely fair for how do you do 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 secured the detainees within camp delta and that i will provide a humane treatment because i did my. question. to
1:43 am
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 them 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 man
1:44 am
today who still hasn't decided if he wants to talk with each other. i just remember. speak you. know because what they would do the americans will put next to each different people see if you know a person from before both opposite speaks english. to see you know is there any connection with these guys from you know maybe the map knowledge or from before you see it was part of it. oh yeah clever people constantly moved around what is what you heard was called free. or i would say that. i once thought i would like to know. but for me the most crucial thing here is to be.
1:45 am
where you are. 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. i was in the war nor tortured physically. my head comp or a tad 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
1:46 am
air conditioning at about thirteen degrees below zero. must improve your talking to the god. on this cause last and we have you on the next days but you know someone who's next to you on this guy suffering so yeah i did the same thing myself looked at the cost. of. my name is sergeant dangerously. enough for thirty eight military police company from early kentucky. really does know that we didn't think this is the way. i think about this.
1:47 am
oh maybe in this case a good lawyer aim for us from toledo ohio. and then specialist michael from east enders if. you know the swedish guy he's there you see. i personally actually can tell you that we don't comment on specifically cheney or specific action l.t. so the question to him he would be ok and she. is. going to need to do things i just don't do my job or that i have
1:48 am
a few stories of one of them. so many. soldiers at one time old 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 take care kuantan it was mission is to detain in the combatants and then to gain intelligence from there to be able to win the global war on terrorism and so we are detaining these in the 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
1:49 am
maintained d.t. in this matter. but what's what's wrong with. the 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. this 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 i'll i can say to you as
1:50 am
we're on the telephone all i can say to you is we have a network of sources that we call see. the actual informant. i can say on the. back that he is a one star general brigadier general. we ran into trouble with a two star general who was in charge of the interrogation. i think it's been they complained about policy dealing with those first he would come and sit down in front of the cage and that should speak to the easy thing is 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 from the. bank use a gun fired because he was too nice to the prisoners. and was opposed to a secret list of unconventional questioning methods and out word goldring out this
1:51 am
. is that. some of the interrogations may i don't have proof. violation of human rights or what we we're not sure where you are here with general but those of us here know we came just after here you know why. i'm right here. have you heard anything. nothing that i would want to repeat because i don't know if it was true. and as far as the history general back is. all we know as far as he was he everyone here is on a tour of. six months and he finishes six months already more home we called up the baucus is old press secretary and southern command. all. you can ask now you don't know how to get budget and need no longer in the military retired or even
1:52 am
yeah yeah he tired out earlier this month. so the article had no way that either but baucus has not retired he has been reassigned to a desk job. out there we have phone number. at the area our own john kerry now. this rebeca hi my name is ken the filmmaker and. left to ask if you press as a bad guy tell them all about what happened there. well if you're told it out on there anymore and any public affairs inquiry into the other committee and the public affairs officer you don't talk about that taught at this point i'm not off the record or. ok thank you for all. of the story
1:53 am
amount vikas. 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. disadvantage brings 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 have 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
1:54 am
new rumors of interrogators using sex and hip hop music to get people to crack. use to sift through all that if they really really. personally know me you know by people who is open to the unskilled. it is. probably because. of the work. world it was under that shallow lot of other things but then they sent in a girl who. will continue and she came up to me and started to talk.
1:55 am
and she told me she could do many things for me so she started to tertiary to me a massage and she grabbed me a certain places and and she actually told me that she could do plenty for me. but when she came closer to certain spots you know 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 hear it is you know we heard she said that whenever i wanted to see her swords and then on she said her name was sylvia and we just tell them that she wants to see me. and then we'll arrange everything and after that and she left.
1:56 am
maybe that sounds like a prisoner's dream. to have a uniform give him. but we are sure the methods aren't used 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 above. 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. or get a piece of paper like this which is called evolution of interrogation techniques.
1:57 am
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 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. where. they also want permission under medical supervision to lower the temperatures in interrogation rooms. and take advantage of prisoners phobia. for example of prisoners fear of dogs. so here you have our search area the
1:58 am
fence authorizing the use of dogs and of course the word phobias is particularly interesting because that has to do with. the. licious they are for muslims the dogs are running clean 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.
