6:14 am
four years of service to church. i didn't. write the mention of a private conversation but i think i think it's completely wrong because if they do manage to corning then where's that going to stop i mean we're all just going to be suppressed into not talking not speaking you know i just think that's going to be a bad thing so you say oh don't need to danny to keep the black boy from pleadings and while westminster city councils have told us that their conflict with danny is merely a question of decibels danny shine is planning to get even louder if i had the resources one day i'd be quite be quite nice to go out there with like a really good p.a. system. and there any really nice boy you know would be to review maybe. ten people in prison asking if. that's right. about coming up critics accuse germany's election candidates of annoying the real problems on taking the low brow road to high office that's

6:17 am
a second guantanamo although in reality it was established just before the detention center in cuba and at one point housed twice as many inmates at the height of the u.s. war in afghanistan but these are just details the two really could be called sister jails just like guantanamo bagram is used to detain people apprehended in the u.s. war in terror and has been around for more than a decade the detention centers have both had their fair share of scandals surrounding the conditions in which the prisoners are held and the way they are treated humiliation of inmates by u.s. personnel physical and emotional abuse allegations of torture you can really sign off the checklist as you go for both prisons and of course the biggest common trait inmates in so-called administrative detention that's people who were arrested but never received a court trial they've been behind bars for years and will stay there for no one knows how long sure american officials insist some of detainees at bagram a hard core al qaeda operatives and will immediately get back to the old business of terrorism the minute they're set free and just like at guantanamo there are
6:18 am
prisoners of program who have already been cleared for release and yet remain in jail sixty seven of them for more than a dozen different countries and no one knows what to do with them again sounds very familiar doesn't it however things that bug rome are slightly more complicated than what you told him oh by the fact the facility has actually been handed over to the afghan government which was deeply unhappy about having a foreign operated geologic soil to begin with as soon as couple to pull control of the ground and march it either transferred or released prisoners but what to do with the almost seventy foreign nationals that remain and what to do with the u.s. because some allege the americans are still very president fearing that i'm going to fish will release inmates that the u.s. sees as a threat to its security and i'm going to strongly dislike having these foreign detainees in their custody so far no solution has been provided by any side involved in this day and in fact one top american military general has confessed
6:19 am
that there is absolutely no plan on how to deal with the detainees at bagram so the still made looks set to drag on. between gram and gun time of day bag spent three years being challenge for america's terror program he told us of what he saw including allegations of people literally being beaten to death amongst the things that i witnessed was prisoners being beaten in two cases actually physically to death one of the techniques they used to use was to hold us into common or soles our hands were tied above our heads to the top of the cage for punishment or for discipline a hood would be close placed over our heads and we would be left there sometimes for hours on end and in this way i saw at least one person getting beaten so badly that it was that he was beaten to death weren't even allowed to get up to walk we weren't even allowed to pray in congregation if we didn't comply with the orders would simply be taken to the front of the so what are the isolation cells and there
