8:46 am
come back to london to mark earley talk about him being clearly and there's new information that's come to light recently and that the foreign secretary william hague tell us what he said what the new information that just came to light is new dissent from ation which is william hague the british foreign secretary wrote to me saying that he had been told by the americans that shaq arizonan the kid to go to saudi arabia not to britain well that's total drivel there's no other person i know of out of one hundred sixty six people in guantanamo and they've been cleared to go to one place shaq has never been told he's only kid to go to one place he's been given two notices neither of which say that now there's a reason for it and the reason is they want to gag him and the people who want to gag him is not just the united states the u.s. wants him to go to saudi arabia on the premise that the saudis will keep him banged up forever he won't be able to talk to the media he won't talk to anyone so certainly the u.s. would like to keep shaq aquatics because of everything he's seen and everything
8:47 am
that's happened to him but i'm very much afraid that it's also the british intelligence services who want to keep him quiet because they know that schacher is a witness against them going back to baghdad therefore space in january two thousand and two schachter was that the british saw him. legally complicit in his torture that but also the shakha saw they've been shaken libby being tortured and this is the most. embarrassing example of torture that america had so the last thing that the british or americans want to come out of guantanamo bay shadowrun who can shed some light on the torture that led to that catastrophic mistake what is it that sucker element is that other detainees doesn't know exactly what he knows busies told me he was in background he was one of the first five prisoners held by the americans in background and he was taken there just before
8:48 am
new year two thousand and one and libby had just been taken and the americans at the time thought he was a big time al-qaeda person which he was and he was never a member of al qaida so the americans were abusing him to try to get him to make statements shakha was taken from the cage where he was being held and diagram into the room where libby was being abused he saw the people who did that you can identify some of those people the british were present and. at that time and he can tell you a whole lot about what was going on in terms of the abuse or velvety now libby can't speak for himself because he was sent back to libya where he according to the libyans gadhafi died or according to other people was murdered so one extraordinarily embarrassing witnesses disappeared and shakhtar is one of the few people who remain i'd just like to be. his own testimony that he rightly said they
8:49 am
these adults how is an adult yes i can see the light well over one hundred prisoners a striking is solidarity we're going to take it anymore and he does that while it's recently done with the koran being disrespected but it is now much more than that. they've been hunger strikes before this time is different this time is different for two reasons one is that there's many many more people on hunger strike and the thing that gives shock a hope is he feels that the result of. the prison is that he hasn't seen him for a long time in that prison. but there's another reason it's very different and that's that the americans were sponsors just bob baer and that's not having the desired effect the council in charge thinks that he can beat people into submission but these are guys who have suffered for eleven years and there is nothing this council can throw at them that they haven't seen before so they're just not going to put up with that now what you've got to really worry about is that it's going to
8:50 am
be different in another way which is that people are going to die and that's what i'm most concerned about just shack a bit i've got fifteen plants down there still very concerned that more than one of them will end up getting out of guantanamo in a coffin do you think that's a realistic possibility i think shock you could die just because of his physical ailments i mean this is a guy who's told me before that he's slowly falling apart slowly dying in a step by step that he wouldn't have to go on hunger strike for me to worry about because the litany of his physical ailments is a page long and he's not getting proper treatment for any oh so he and other people could very well died people have died and in guantanamo this hunger strike makes it exponentially more likely again partly because the americans don't know what's going on they think some of my guys aren't on them destroyed when i know they are and that really worries me that not keeping close tabs on people's physical well
8:51 am
being how is it possible that they don't know that some people are in hunger strike when they actually are the same way that they think a fourteen year old child is a big time terrorist member of london cell of al-qaeda when he'd never been to britain and. tons it's because they just don't have good intelligence about almost anything if you think about this was a guy called mohammed ali gorani who represented that and you think they couldn't work out how old he was eight years of interrogations that gives you some insights on how limited then knowledge about everything is on that base and so just to give you one example i know one of my clients is accepting liquid supplement and sure not from self but one of his mates who has been really really ill and he's forcing this guy that take it because he doesn't want his friend to die now the americans think my client's taking that but he's not so there's just so many things that the
8:52 am
u.s. doesn't know when they don't know him because they're not treating these people if they treated the prisoners respect the prisoners would treat them with respect for what you see yourself what evidence do you have that people are actually dying inside well i've seen people physical status i've made shacharis trip off for me so i can see some of his physical elements i've done that with other prisoners i've watched check in with a chewed up his neck when he was being force fed and i watched him pull that chew belt you know dress general made a comment in public it's not me saying it where he said he was going to make it less convenient for the prisoners by pulling that tube out every time they fed meaning you have one hundred twenty centimeters long tube stuffed up unit. and then pulled out after each feeding now that's just barbaric it's illegal for them in the first place to force feed prisoners but to do it in that way just compounds the problem and they're doing it to try to force prisoners to give up their hunger
8:53 am
strike that's just serious or wrong and what i'm afraid the military authorities didn't seem to understand is these guys have suffered enough to just not going to take. being abused into submission again so we i want both sides to be reasonable i don't want my clients to die and i don't want the military to the bad when they do whatever and to survive but they want to do this in a way of resolving this combative mentality that we see going on between the guards and the detainees there's no way to get around the confrontation between the military and the prisoners unless the military is willing to be less confrontational i mean you don't run prisoners prisons by beating people up any sensible person i've dealt with prisons my whole life in any sensible would never prison tries to reach accommodation treats people decently treats them like human
8:54 am
beings and then they get that and response but as long as the u.s. thinks just buz people this if they're abusing a three year old then what you expect when you told us about the evidence of m i six involvement well first we have to recognize that taking any prisoner to guantanamo was a serious breach of the geneva conventions a war crime so the british should never have had anything to do with one time i've been the first post but did they of course they did they were sending agent list a background check was held then to canada was held again. and then to guantanamo where all the prisoners were and they were interrogating people that that. they were providing information misinformation sent me his case to the americans that was then used to maintain this detention without trial all of this is criminal offense all of this ultimately if i have my way they're going to end up facing the international criminal court which is certainly what i got my sights if the british
8:55 am
police don't do it flies that that's the thinking of it joining us today ok. the movie with the words e z being first zombie which stars brad pitt as one hundred seventy five million dollar budget has been recalled by paramount executives not because this is probably yet another stupid violent zombie movie but because the chinese might get offended according to the wrap dot com china was supposed to take the blame for starting the evil zombie apocalypse this time but china becoming the largest foreign market for american movies made a test of integrity fly out the window to protect the bottom dollar as is tradition and hollywood this is not the first time that there has been pro-choice censorship
8:56 am
in hollywood the remake of red dawn which was originally a cold war era little show against russians was supposed to show a chinese invasion of america this time however they have changed it to north koreans who can't even defeat the us military in south korea let alone at an away game in the usa the thing that is interesting is not the censorship is the fact that they will censor movies for whoever's got a lot of cash big markets won't be offended but countries with small markets will this is a complete prostitute mentality show that love to any guy who's got bills in his palm you know i was always pretty sure there were a lot of prostitutes working in hollywood i didn't know they actually started making the movies but that's just my opinion. you know sometimes you see a story. you think you understand it and then you glimpse something else you hear or see some other part of it and realize that everything is. part of the big
