12:46 pm
what was going on in terms of the abuse of libby now libby can't speak for himself because he was sent back to libya where he according to the libyan gadhafi died according to other people was murdered. one extraordinarily embarrassing witnesses disappeared and shacked was one of the few people who were a man i'd just like to read to you a bit. in testimony that he wrote recently these adults how is an adult yes i can see the light well over one hundred prisoners a striking in solidarity we're not going to take it anymore and he does this that the riots recently began with the koran being disrespected but it is now much more than that. they've been hunger strikes before what do you feel 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 shakha hope is he feels that the result of their city and the prison is that he hasn't seen him for a long time in that prison. but you know there's another reason it's very different
12:47 pm
and that's that the americans were sponsors just bob baer and that's not having the desired effect counting jobs thinks that he can beat people into submission but these are guys suffered for eleven years and there is nothing this can throughout 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 be different in another way which is that people are going to die and that's what i'm most concerned about is that not just shack a bit i've got fifteen plants down there still and i'm very concerned that more than one of them will end up getting out of guantanamo in a coffin i think that's a realistic possibility i think shakhtar 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. in a step by step that he would have to go on hunger strike for me to worry about him because the litany of his physical ailments is
12:48 pm
a page not and he's not getting proper treatment for and 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 the list right when i know they are and that really worries me that not keeping close tabs on people's physical well 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 another of my friends. 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 i represented and you think they couldn't work out how old he was eight years of interrogations that gives you some insight on how
12:49 pm
limited then knowledge about everything is on that base and so just if you want 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 u.s. doesn't know when they don't know because they're not treating these people as humans if they treated the prisoners with respect to the prisoners would treat them respect for what you're seeing yourself what evidence do you have that people are actually dying inside clinton well i've seen people's physical status i've made shacharis trip off for me so i can see some of his physical ailments i've done that with other prisoners i've watched check in with a tube up his nose when he was being force fed and i watched him pull that shoe belt and you know the u.s. general made a comment in public is not me saying it where he said he was going to make it less
12:50 pm
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 strike that's just serious or wrong and what i'm afraid the military authorities seem to understand is these guys have suffered enough to just not going to take being abused dentist. admission again so you know we i want both sides to be reasonable i don't want my clients to die and i don't want the military to look bad when they do die i want everyone to survive but they want this do this in a way of resolving this cool bathtub mentality that we see going on between the
12:51 pm
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 and any sensible warden of a prison tries to reach accommodation treats people decently treats them like human beings and then they get that and response but as long as the u.s. thinks they can just buz people this if they're abusing a three year old then what do 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 in the event the first post did their course they did they were sending agent just a background check was held then to kandahar right now is held again. and then to guantanamo where all the prisoners were and they were interrogating people that
12:52 pm
that's when they were providing information very often misinformation certainly in shackles 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 police don't do it flies that that's the thank you very much for joining us today ok. the movie world war z z being for zombie which stars brad pitt as one hundred seventy five million dollar budget has been recook by paramount executives not
12:53 pm
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 artistic 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 in hollywood the remake of red dawn which was originally a cold war era a minstrel 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 countries the 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
