6:00 pm
thank. you thank. you terry. our sins of the past will always come back to haunt us hawk watchers and with the recent horrific reports coming out of yemen it appears that the united states and its war on terror has once again found itself at the center of yet another torture scandal this week the associated press is reporting that an estimated two thousand men have allegedly disappeared into a vast secret network of prisons inside the war torn country of yemen run both by the united arab emirates and yemeni forces and that many of the detainees are
6:01 pm
victims or victim to horrific torture and conditions including being subjected to the grill in which the victim is tied to a spit like a roast and spun in a circle of fire. now where does the united states been this this this horror show well according to the a.p. u.s. officials have acknowledged that u.s. forces have been involved in the interrogations of these detainees however they deny any participation or knowledge of the extreme human rights abuses taking place there several anonymous u.s. defense officials told the a.p. that quote u.s. senior military leaders were aware of allegations of torture at the prisons in yemen looked into them but were satisfied that there had not been any abuse when u.s. forces were present. but given the recent u.s. history regarding the torture regarding the torture of the war on terror suspects
6:02 pm
we've we heard these types of stringent denials before and sadly we can no longer accept the face value sorry you lost all your credibility after all let's remember that the torture sorry excuse me enhanced interrogation and acted under the bush administration was allowed to go unpunished by the obama administration in fact the only person president obama did send to jail for the cia's torture program was john kiriakou agent who blew the whistle on it. so with the united states once again being tied to claims of torture and abuse let us hope history is not repeating itself as we start watching the hawks. you. already see the street it looks like the real thing we see. as you see to the bottom it. would be like you that i got. with the please.
6:03 pm
please please. please. welcome everyone the watching the hawks i am a robot i have a lot of stuff so here we sit. torture is being bandied about again extremely horrific torture you know looking at that a.p. report and believe human rights watch put out a report on this as well. wow they have a right to feel great keep having this conversation about once every year is that suddenly someone think oh wow we're doing something really horrible in relation to torture i wonder if anything what happened with the really came of the renditions program right it's not always assumed it just went away or i would assume that you know i mean you saw the cia spying on congress all in efforts to avoid keep the
6:04 pm
congressional report on torture it had not been sent but now for course you know some years later one seems to forget that what they're supposed to trust the intelligence communities with everything now what's interesting about this is this isn't like you know us sponsored torture like we saw when tom the mole in the black sites this is basically the u.a.e. . you know the yemeni government forces just torturing people they think are involved with al qaeda these secret prisons are apparently allegedly all over southern yemen they're inside military bases the reports there at an airport private billows. you know they're even the night clubs. there are even a nightclub apparently and some detainees that we've been flown to a member of the brace across the red sea in your trip to the main one of the main detention complexes or at the ryanair rearm airport in the southern city you will call a former inmates described they heard described being crammed into shipping containers smeared with feces blindfolded for weeks on and they said they were
6:05 pm
beaten up trust up on that grill i told you about that were basically cooked over a fire and sexually assaulted which isn't the first time we've heard reports of things like i mean this is more we've heard pieces and the allegations sort of go away and they saw that would never happen that would never happen the course everyone involved was dividing the torture the u.a.e. the u.s. there was a we don't know what it was torture really are we are even there and ray we were there i mean we did participate is the story now of u.s. involvement which is where the problem i mean while we'll be able to war which really was a very much a cia war right now is the whole point was that we were operating these drone strikes we were saying ok and operatives are there so it actually makes perfect sense that they would be but we discovered this torture program was probably very much a cia operation of its own right it was so now we've given past history that's the thing they lost their credibility to start the base value with everything they tell us no right and now you have this new young upstart possible future king in you
6:06 pm
know in saudi arabia how much of that is all part of. this whole thing one cares what those walk us through the u.s. involvement like what are they saying what what's being alleged how is all this breaking down with the u.s. so you have a lot of of those interviewed that are kind of explain and speaking on the condition the condition of anonymity obviously for obvious reasons because it's a pretty serious. accusation so they told the a.p. and that american forces. do participate and interrogations of detainees at locations in yemen provide questions. to and receive transcripts of interrogations from these amorality allies that are doing the torturing so this idea that we give them questions i mean we're sort of there but we're not there none of those interviewed would say for sure that american interrogators were
6:07 pm
involved in the actual into the actual abuse of people but. obtaining information through what you know is extracted by torture inflicted by someone else . would still violate international conventions so. we're talking about at things where they're saying that american forces were less than you know were a few feet away at times right so it's like we need this information and we know you'll do what we're not supposed to is what it sounds a little itty bitty sense of the older editions program where it's like ok these are the guys you want to find something you know about in the old days would be sent to libya or egypt and you know now obviously in the u.a.e. i mean there's plenty of nations that are willing to torture people and there's a long history of outsourcing dirty jobs to other countries or other people i mean that's not really what the cia and autumn are doing that's we're arming rebels moderate rebels we're with this is just enhanced interrogation. being
6:08 pm
grilled right here on the southerners i don't think that we you know you there are some protests happening in yemen because of the amount of people that have disappeared but i don't think sadly i don't think we're going to see any real trouble on the campaign trail but he was actually pro torture and he wanted to go after the terrorist families so i don't think we're going to see any accountability . but us had knowledge of what was happening you know i just don't see it ever happened and there should be no mamma was going to certainly is not going to and this should be something that we should be having hearings every day absolutely absolutely. fire especially prosecutors secret tapes conversations protesters in the streets a surveillance state and a presidential campaign full of dirty tricks well you got it i'm talking about america in one nine hundred seventy three with nixon as president facing a scandal known as watergate last week it was the forty fifth anniversary of the watergate break in when seven operatives were arrested five of whom were working for had worked as the lead spies at the cia they also worked for the white house
6:09 pm
targeting leaks in the president's enemies so naturally nixon worked to cover up the botched burglary but with protesters hippies and dissidents in the streets the surveillance state was in full fact the f.b.i. cia pentagon city police and white house were all working to spy on anyone and everyone so who really worked for who was nixon a threat to the deep state. was a confidential informant for d.c. police detective carl shoplift from one nine hundred seventy and has recently come out of the shadows with his book watergate exposed i asked robert wash off the recruited him and who shot her really worked for. the game in and he had. been a undercover operative there for drugs for bank robbery which is allegedly been a lot of bank robberies in the. area and the criminals dupont circle which again is a very diverse community he asked me he says that he had observed all these different
6:10 pm
various groups and. with all so there's so many of them. having problems with anybody let it go in a way shape or form a one. ever informant and he commission agreed. very quickly he was engaged in drugs or. in politics and he told me the truth is that he. political left and he needed me to to work within the one who was the texas governor and. the senate he would do and they have served me with were people he was very interested in groups that karl worked for was just the. intelligence division and these agents and agencies recruited me in different ways but.
6:11 pm
karl received several paychecks under different assumed names. he was only known to the police into the woods as being detective cross shelter with p.j. but he was also receiving money under different soon range from the cia and even interpol girl was very stressed but the one person one people that was karl was working for was no it's very intelligence at the pentagon and that's who was controlling the whole regarding the intelligence gathering and. i know all the time and i didn't give you know still there were a lot and i was just afraid that i was introduced later that i was working for the houston plan at the white house and. in maine.
6:12 pm
she. just. wanted to go back. and. forward to the white house. software was involved with the water and he was the guy that called the burglars in my correct water right so that's what's so interesting about the story was that software actually people always question he was he was actually working extra hours putting over time and it was like saturday night when actually all the people that were involved with software in the car think there are two others all had other engagements but they were blowing off to hang out to be there within within less than half a mile of the watergate even though that wasn't their jurisdiction so you're washed off of the fact.

6:20 pm
went too far. when there's this idea of the deep state what it. is but there are certain times when they're going to go this is too much on one person's hand we were the keep up with the pentagon the f.b.i. the cia but we don't want the president to have his own press by plumbers operating for him and not for the rest we should be stealing for everybody interesting thoughts of to. check out this interview which. you could. probably. it's pretty interesting. whoa according to leave camp the host of the award winning r.t. america show redacted tonight show staff could be replaced by a joke book at a sense of disillusionment apparently they couldn't find him up this week so they're doing another show up in the midst of britain where it makes us excited to anything tonight to preview this week's latest episode of redacted tonight are now
6:21 pm
and chad i fall down thankfully it in i've been hiding them. just in case. there's more and more every week. giving me. so. much talk with texas right. now we have the fact i know we're here well so naomi. i heard that you looked into. in the end apparently they're in cop but a little of the stuff i'm shocked tell me more are you heard correctly. and there's a new river or by republic of it came out this week by ginger times and she's been investigating this massacre in mexico and apparently she discovered that the da was kind of responsible for this massacre because what happened was they found they
6:22 pm
found this agent was part of the cedars part o. see this point oh very very difficult to track down very. impenetrable and they took his phone found all the phone numbers of the leaders of the zetas cartel and as soon as they got that information they sure got with the mexican. and the mexican police don't have a very gracious and of course to say this is. you know some people working for them . in the marks of employees of our police toward you know was also working with the dea and the da knew this so when they share the information is it is personal for me at least so take a look at this crowd here it's not. the first that i was told one of those areas yeah right let's take a look. here's some highly sensitive information that could cost lives this is a discard tell this to mediately who had betrayed them and began hunting for the
6:23 pm
snitches the traffickers went after anyone connected to them leading to a massacre in iowa which hasn't been investigated by mexican or american officials since until a pro publica report demonstrated the role of the dea a cavalier way of sharing information clearly showed no concern for the lives in countries where they operate but i mean what do you would bet from this agency when the mexico and central american sections of the d.n.a. where this badger. on our sleeves. i think the guys might i was ashamed man. he was also a great you know been teacher to also misled congress and the d.o.j. about fatal shootings in the twenty twelve operation and. operation and till ok so now we've got mc hammer and wiley coyote this is inspiring. confidence so the d.o.j. nor i want to say that there was a car for us in honduras that would be extremely illegal but i will say there was
6:24 pm
one and. they. say that right. now back. to what's going on as. i speak a little there's some of that ice cream is the answer and sat down to have words exceptional united states stand in terms of taking care of children ok by saying this week that it just seven with there's a new report by save the children called the end of childhood index. yeah it's pretty it's pretty intense they rated one hundred seventy two countries and terms of quality of childhood over eight different metrics and the u.s. number one at being number thirty six. thirty six just below but. no defense mycenaean but they're not exactly as the countries we are and you know
6:25 pm
a lot of the reason is because cuts in social safety net things like that and you know nutrition assistance and this was an incredibly hard topic to make fun of because you know you don't want to be more. you know what no children suffering is more difficult than your job and you'll be ok well you took the lightly. of the message and i took you know you know children are struggling but but basically yeah there's a there's a different categories i could read them where you were. there isn't anything we really ended up thirty seven doesn't that kind of blow all male american exceptionalism nothing we are exceptional and being number thirty six time is just how you decide someone is very little leverage casting that their ads aren't so hard let me ask you this the most important question. facing redacted tonight every week is one of leave. well that is true because yeah he talks about amazon and how much of you know became but that is in
6:26 pm
a lot of his company what's going on with jeff bezos this new lot of wiring of whole foods yeah and yeah there's a there's a really really funny till the thread throughout the entire piece and that's what i like because apparently that is the that is what is being ordered the most at that was on you know we've talked about this crazy monopoly consolidation all these externalized costs and what's going on it's like yes we get this you know these efficient products but what does it really mean and you know what sort of violence does that cause for other people and people that are you know providing that crazy service for us and their workers are treated in a really normally way to do things that amazon will ever get a bad review in the washington post i don't know but they're certainly not going get a beverage review by the cia either they have to face it has a contract with it's just getting pretty crazy it is it is a sort of you're going to. see a need to have. my concern a half and for me. it's interesting because you guys you know look kudos to you guys you put out a great show every week i just want to say you know especially you know you're
