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 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

mohamed ali would have blown up the white house and jefferson memorial three times over. >> that's a perfect point. boxing as a place to released aggression might actually be helpful for a lot of people. bill, do you have anything to add or should i skip you? >> you can become violent because of concussions. we know why he did it. he did it for allah. his brother said we did it for allah, that's why we know. it what he was saying is it does take more of a nudge to get off that cliff. the cliff and the click. there are radical muslims and not so popular ones. >> way to try to save yourself. >> not trying. read about the click. sometimes you do need to push off the cliff and that is what he was talking about. he wasn't giving him an excuse. look at walter payton later in life. >> when did he load a pressure cooker with nails? when did butter bean -- >> he shot a person. >> butter bean? >> no, walter payton. >> gavin? >> i have a wild card to throw into the mix. >> i don't like cards that are wild. >> mohamed said you can marry your first cousin. >> mohamed ali? >> no, the son of the pr

this is where a farmer named mohammed ali was digging for fertilizer when he discovered a clay jar withn inside. >> within these books, there were over 50 texts, most of which we did not know about before, that could help us understand the beginnings of christianity and the development of religion in some remarkable new ways. >> but it all nearly vanished in a puff of smoke when the mother of mohammed ali was looking for fuel to make some tea. >> she found these old books, and as he told the story, mohammed ali says, that his mother ripped out some pages of papyrus, some precious pages of ancient text, and pushed those underneath her stove and burned the papyrus and had some delicious tea that day. but what was lost in the process we will never know. >> what we do know is that the surviving books, called the gnostic gospels, gave the world a compelling and competing story of what happened after jesus. >> the text of the nag hammadi library are making it very clear that there were a lot of gospels that were composed in the early church. four were finally selected for the new testament ca

the cia's payroll there was an interesting story with the administrative chief of the council mohamed. ali he was arrested in two thousand and ten in connection with the sprawling american led investigation that tied together afghan. taliban financing and the opium trade president karzai heading released within hours and the cia then helped persuade the obama administration to back off its anti-corruption push possibly because they didn't want the cia connection discovered in the alleged corruption scheme because that would be a story of a dog chasing its tail in washington. america's money of course comes from what is the world's biggest defense budget and he will come to read should beckett told me as long as it continues to swell as well the more americans will fall into poverty. it's really amazing when you look at the cia operations in afghanistan which really began that in two thousand and one million nine hundred seventy nine nine hundred eighty s. the cia largest apparition and it's entirely history was carried out in afghanistan and the billions and billions of dollars that have f

maybe with the exception of mohammed ali, i would say jackie robinson is the most important sports figureican history. baseball was very comfortable in just staying the course and not sort of accepting any sort of paradigm for america. they might have stayed that way forever if not for men like jac jackie robinson and branch ricky. up next on "the war room." what changed what stays the same and what needs to change some more. we break down jackie robinson's legacy and more with silver civil rights activists right after this. [ ♪ theme music ♪ ] >> michael: we just finished more of a film conversation about the film "42". a bio pick on jackie robinson. the first black player in major league player. the decision to bring on robinson was not so much about promoting racial equality in sports as it was about winning games and making money. diversity in american sports has changed drastically since jackie robinson joined the brooklyn dodgers. african-american players make up more than 50% of the nba. they represented 27% of the player in the 90s and now they're down less to less than 9% today.
