united states want to be associated with the united states. there is a few down there who didn't get the memo about democracy and human rights and that kind of thing but some of that is even turning around. they really do like and associate with us. they very much like, and are very proud of this, that southern command doesn't point the finger but work with them. we deliver an awful lot of good advice, education, and assistance. the other thing we do a lot of as an inneragency partner is c n confiscate drugs. we have taken nearly 109 metric tons of cocaine after it left latin america. our number one partner with this and a country we have a special relationship with, remarkable people and remarkable military, is columbia. they themselves took a couple hundred metrics ups tons of cocaine before it left their country. they errat eradicated hundreds of cocaine fields and labs that are destroyed. other partners are the people from panamma and the peruvians. the corruption it brings and the violence it brings has devastated some of our really good partners like honduras and el salvador. there is good news throughout most of the region. as i said, i get ready to hang it up -- when i left the pentagon i was getting options and tired of the war spending so much time in it in the early 2000s. i thought southern command would be a place that would allow me to unleash other energies and talents. it has allowed me to do that. you may or may not know this and it may not be an issue but i read that guantanamo bay, directly for the president of the united states and secretary of defense, i do not do policy whether it opens or closes, i do the detention ops. my mandate from the president through the secretary of defense is to make sure we are in accordance with all laws and regulations with the detainees and make sure they are treated well, humanely and taken care of medically wise. we do that and do it supurbly. i will end there and open it up. >> a few questions. one, on gitmo. later this month we are told that we can expect a large number of the detainees will likely be transferred out. more than a dozen. i am wondering if the recent releases which have been in some chunks lately grieve credence to the argument that the military has been dragging its feet over previous years and whether this amounts to a sudden new effort that could have actually happened earlier. just a second question, you mentioned some of the interdiction you have been doing with little u.s. military. there was additional talk about drones being used. have you se

united states. look at the rights that people are petrified in the united states, muslim communities, of exercising the right to privacy, the right to free speech, the right to association. the core rights the constitution guarantees, that america is defined by, that people on the road are relinquishing out of fear -- that people on their own are relinquishing out of fear. it's very easy to intimidate people out of exercising their rights while preventing them from even realizing it's happening. you can reach the point where you essentially tell yourself you have no real interest in opposing the government, you have no interest in protesting what they're doing or objecting to what they're doing, when in reality you have been intimidated out of it. the socialist activist rosa luxemburg said he does not move does not notice the chain. convince yout can that you actually don't want to do any of the things you are actually not able to do, you won't even realize you have been restricted in any meaningful way. you will think you are free, even though you been intimidated out of it. the only other point i want to happens is ifwhat you gather at an event like this and talk about all the horrible things taking place and y disst them a analyze them and fos on thearm it's doing, o of the things youan dos sort ospread this horrendous gloominess. everybody walks out depressed. like, i just listened to the last few things over an hour, i want to jump off a bridge. i think it's important to think about why that's not a rational reaction. not for rosy eyed reasons, but because reality suggest there is no need to think that way. temptations for groups historically in the unitedstates will a been targeted for persecution is to believe that they can simply go in hide, that they can stay object, tole, not nothing, and they will be left alone. that never works. there was this woman at an event i was at at the university of missouri last week who was one of the earliest founders of the st. louis chapter of care. which she described was fascinating. she talked about how prior to 9/11 when they start the st. louis chapter of care, she and her fellow muslim activist thought they would have this nice innocuous little group. they would create t-shirts that said muslims care, a play on the word, they would have bake sales and show the community they were happy, fun people and not make waves. she said after 9/11, when the entire world changed for muslims in america, she realized that is not a solution. that is what makes communities vulnerable, by not demanding their rights they will curry favor and protect themselves stop the only way she realized for muslims or any ot
