s guantanamo bay and we also learned earlier that in fact julian assange has been placed in 5 holding cells he's been handcuffed frequently and i believe that his case files have been confiscated at the end of the day and his attorney edward fitzgerald has argued that in fact that impairs his right to a fair trial we also have learned that while he was staying in the ecuadorian embassy in london that this spanish security firm you see global was actually spying on him in spying on his visitors in particular journalists especially those who were russian or american so that even infringes on his rights to attorney client privilege as well you know joe i mean considering how he's being treated during this trial and of course the the the information that has come out that he was spied on when he was in the ecuadorian embassy i mean he really must really scare the daylights out of the stuff. the way he's being treated proves that i mean it is sense he is probably the most dangerous man in the world and they want to punish him for this go ahead joe. it was certainly not dangerous in a viole

a lot of batista's planes were refueling in guantanamo bay. the americans are training the secret police. it was really not an ideal situation. so the three kids are there, but fidel eventually decides one of them really couldn't hack the mountain life. fidel eventually decides it's too dangerous having them there because if they get killed or wounded it would be a pr disaster. so he lets them go. one guy stays for another three months and finally fidel sends him back to the united states to do fund-raising speeches because they've setup offices in new york, on the upper west side right near columbia university and all these students keep turning up to try to volunteer for the revolution for the summer holidays only. they want to be back for their classes in fall. only a few of them actually make it down there, but there's some great stories of kids in berkeley to steal their parents car and try to drive to miami to go down to join the revolution and fail dismally just as well. but anyway floating around we have another rare early photo of che

guantanamo bay of 1776. we are going to hold them indefinitely.he problem is the british occupied new york city. new york city is burned. the ruin of a city. where is general howell going to put these prisoners but on troop transport ships? probably the most famous of these is the jersey. jersey is only used as a prison ship later in the war, not at first. nonetheless, the condition on these prison ships which the american soldiers are going to be held and jersey primarily holds sailors. they will be atrocious. you can imagine the filth of the -- and the disease that's going to run rampant when you put thousands of people on a ship like that, moored in the brooklyn harbor. consequently, fatalities will mount. really quickly. that first winter of 1976 and 1776, 1777 is really, really deadly for the americans. historians estimate that somewhere between 12,000 and 18,000 american service personnel died in british custody during their eight years of this british revolutionary war. between 12000 and 18,000. there are between 20,000 and 30,000 americans

this is our first torture scandal, the water cure, later to be known by another name that guantanamo bay. it was the beginning of the loss of innocence for the united states. the philippine war led americans to realize that that world is out there and if we are going to go out and project our power, we have to do bad things like other countries do. that is a realization i think we are still grappling with. the american soul is divided. we are in peerless, but also isolationist. we want to guide the world, but want every country to guide itself, and that has divided our soul, something you see coming out of this original debate of 1898. you can take it back further to 1630 with john winthrop. what did he mean when he said, we shall be as a city upon a hill in the eyes of all people upon us? did he mean we should go out in the world and redeem it and make it better? or no, we should create a virtual society at home and see if it could become a model to others. we still have not decided that and that shapes our approach to the world to this day. stephen: -- robin: i want to put a capper on
