Dilawar was a hard worker and quiet.
A good man and honest.
From small ...
loved to drive tractors.
He brought stones from the mountain.
All stones of this wall. Dilawar brought up here.
We are simple peasants, but he said:
"Leave us to the field and you see the taxi driver. "
The first of December 2002 ...
Dilawar, a young Afghan taxi driver ...
up to three passengers for a trip.
Never returned home.

TAXI TO THE DARK SIDE.
A translation of: Ladybatissa and zatara04
Bagram AIR BASE, AFGHANISTAN.
When the sun begins to hide ...
the sand begins to blow, as a large cloud of dust.
And I wonder Is it well every night?
I recall that when first, the smell ...
the smell is the first thing to note ...
and being in Washington, if you've been at the zoo ...
when you enter the cage of the elephant ...
this is the best way to describe it.
A few lived in prison and I was one of them.
Bagram Prison. It is a huge site built to instill fear in detainees.
After the invasion to Afghanistan ...
U.S. forces occupied Bagram ...
and an old air base Soviet is the place ...
to collect and interrogate Thousands of detainees ...
caught in Afghanistan and Pakistan.
Were suspected Taliban ...
who had been trapped by special forces ...
in the field, and brought to Bagram for ...
questioning and determine whether they were ...
high-value prisoners.
They were not good people at all.
They were very bad ...
know, had violent intentions.
On December 5, 2002 ...
Dilawar, a taxi driver, was brought to Bagram.
Was designated as a PUC. "
Person under control, number 421.
Was related to the rocket attack.
That was all I knew.
Five days after their arrival ...
was dead.
I would say it was as at 5:00 am ...
and when passing where Dilawar --
I think it was called. When passing by his cell ...
he was there hanging with his head down ...
but it was very quiet for be hanging there sleeping.
Sergeant Curtis opened the door and entered.
Did not react. So we started CPR.
Was down with other inmates ...
and I heard it called Cammack to raise ...
was a nurse, and lower in Cammack the stretcher and continued ...
top of it trying to while bajábamos resuscitate.
He was taken to the main door and continued to work with him.
To work until he reached the physician and certified the death.
Perhaps his injuries were compounded by something ...
or just got sick.
It was a very fragile person.
And I was surprised that you take so long ...
die under our custody.
There was concern because it was the second.
Just a week before Dilawar's death ...
another died detained at Bagram.
Wondering if it will be for something I did ...
or if someone killed him, I do not know say so.
According to the coroner ...
the first prisoner died, Habibullah ...
suffering from a disease lung prior to his incarceration.
But it was the beatings received in Bagram ...
what caused his death.
A clot that was lodged in the lungs.
When he dies the second a week later ...
when we were scared. Something will happen now.
Two prisoners die in a week, that's bad.
A preliminary investigation Dilawar's death on ...
revealed severe bruising throughout your body.
But not found that treatment at Bagram has been the cause.
Next day I was told that ...
how to draw remained and when I was here ...
this simple picture.
The roofs of these Isolation rooms ...
were simple metal railings ...
and were sufficiently hard to wives put through it ...
to hang them so, sideways.
Long compulsory periods of standing ...
inflamed tissues injured dents in Dilawar's legs.
But the press release Initial no mention ...
wives or beating.
They said that both arrested died of natural causes.
My opinion is ...
that the military wanted ...
Finally, finish I quickly ...
before calling the attention.
Shortly after Dilawar's death ...
the official responsible for interrogation in Bagram ...
Captain Carolyn Wood was awarded ...
the Bronze Star to the value.
After the invasion of Iraq ...
to Wood and his unit Intelligence ...
were given a new mission ...
Abu Ghraib.
A few Rotten apple.
My only memory Abu Ghraib is the heat.
It felt like 58 ° C there and it was all concrete.
Abu Ghraib was also the infamous torture chambers ...
and things were from the time of Saddam.
I remember having visit and see ...
as marks of nails the walls, blood stains ...
guillotines and the like. An unreal feeling.
We arrived at Abu Ghraib, in July or August of 2003 ...
to mount that prison.
If you put the people in a situation insane, commit follies.
And Abu Ghraib received fire mortars every night.
120mm projectiles who killed the prisoners.
When it was first should evacuate to another location ...
because they were not sure.
We were told that we were violent with those who resist.
He also told us that Those were the dogs.
So suddenly you see these people as something less than human ...
and begin to make things with which he never dreamed of.
When there was became dark.
It was only the night shift. There are always bad apples.
It is a great coup for all of us.
It is clearly an isolated incident.
The conduct of a very small group ...
our officers and soldiers.
Due to media attention about Abu Ghraib ...
the army began A number of investigations.
The person conducting abuses will be tried.
The world will see a free and democratic system ...
works and operates transparent ...
without cover.
The Secretary and others will tell you ...
made 12 investigations.
But each of them ...
were made to look down ...
Lynndie England to Graner and ...
and not upward.
Soldiers of the photos, PM or military police are ...
whose mission was to guard and protect the prisoners.
In their statements, claimed the Military Intelligence or MI ...
had ordered them to humiliate and weaken the prisoners ...
as before interrogation.
Clearly what made in these photos ...
not endorsed by the rules governing interrogations.
So yes, I think were bad apples.
However, I also think that still commands ...
Intelligence Service.
There were reports that happening in Afghanistan ...
I speak of the humiliation, to demoralize the prisoners ...
it all came from somewhere. Not happened to the PMs.
The PMs are not even trained to do these things.
Should have no demoralized people.
We use them in Abu techniques at Bagram.
Exactly the same rules.
It happened the same.
And they wonder why happened?
In his affidavit on Abu Ghraib ...
Wood said that the captain felt pressure for the information.
Thus techniques that led Unauthorized:
dogs, nakedness, deprivation sleep and stress positions ...
to Abu Ghraib from Afghanistan.
Maintained that the model of Bagram had higher approval of ...
but the U.S. Central Command never replied ...
their applications.
So the mystery remains ...
Abu Ghraib Was the result some bad apples?
Or evidence of a new Global ...
detention and interrogation?
Sure that the interrogators I said to the guards:
"Naked to this kind espósenlo to bed ...
in an awkward position and do what they want. "
And then decided go a little further ...
and have fun with it, take some photos.
You always have to military people ...
are a step the Marquis de Sade.
And one reason why which should have rules ...
and this code of conduct to help lead ...
a number of soldiers and marines ...
is for you use these tools ...
to limit this trend in your soldiers.
When you have your friends dying around you ...
sometimes you can go a little further.
So a lieutenant, a captain on the battlefield ...
need these tools, and be able to punish a. ..
persons crossing the line.
Colonel Lawrence Wilkerson CHIEF OF STAFF Colin Powell.
When the secretary came to my office ...
at that time were get out the photos from Abu Ghraib ...
and there were rumors that would ...
I said: "I need to know what happened and why. "
Then I began to collect both documents freely accessible ...
and internal government, classified or not.
And I began to see arguments legal because the President ...
could do whatever he wanted in the name of security.
Both the Secretary of Defense their junior ...
were really looking for ...
the same pressure that they exercised over the people.
The pressure to obtain intelligence information ...
and that said had already removed the gloves.
They created the environment then we saw that reflected ...
in the photos of Abu Ghraib, and for me much more seriously ...
these pictures that we saw, are 98 deaths in custody ...
From this interview, 105 DEATHS AND SON.
and I learned by my colleagues 25 of them soldiers who ...
have been officially declared as homicides by the military.
FROM THE INTERVIEW, 37 have been SCHEDULED "homicide".
Some would say that these Abu Ghraib photos do not show ...
real torture, I would that murder is a torture.
Murder is supreme torture.
In the case of Dilawar, He was ...
brutal punishment and unusual ...
and the final was died because of torture.
GRAL. Dan McNeill: Our intention is not to kill ...
especially if we obtain information from them.
GRAL. Dan McNeill, Cmdte. The coalition.
The treatment they received in these cells ...
caused the deaths these two men?
First, not chained to anyone the roof, I had asked.
"First, not chained to anyone the ceiling, "that's what it says.
Carlotta Gall, is a journalist The New York Times in Kabul.
Dissatisfied with the explanation of the military ...
the two deaths at Bagram, undertook an investigation.
It took me a long time families to find ...
because the military did not want tell us where ...
and began to call the governors.
They are a humble family Farmers who do not speak English ...
but showed me a paper he got along with the body.
There was when I read it, in English ...
was a death certificate the U.S. military.
And it was signed by ...
Enhanced U.S. it was the pathologist.
Of the four cells that had, It marked the murder.
MURDER.
I said: "My God, they killed him."
Then we had to ask the family if they knew ...
what was written here. They told us:
"No, it is in English. I do not understand. "
And I think that perhaps the Red Cross helped restore the body ...
had been explained, but I do not understand.
And then the pathologist said ...
who had injuries contusions on his legs.
Did you suffer any trauma?
Any trauma by contusion that is how his name?
At the moment I have no evidence that ...
but we will review as that the investigation continues.
"At the moment no I have evidence of that. "
There is a signed certificate for their people, and he says:
"At the moment I have no evidence any injury by contusion.
And that is on the certificate death, I saw him.
The story would have disappeared if not for my fellow ...
Carlotta Gall. She found Dilawar's family ...
and gave the track showed that all ...
that this incident was something completely different ...
what the army said.
Tim Golden continued track of the story ...
and obtained a record confidentiality of the investigation ...
army, including hundreds pages of testimony ...
of the soldiers involved.
One of the things that caught my attention ...
was that you were young soldiers with very little ...
training and preparation, mired in the middle of a hangover 11 / 9 ...
precisely when the rules were changing ...
without having such what they sought.
And you have this young Afghan entered the system ...
at the wrong time in all the wrong ...
and this was what happened.
I saw his picture in the New York Times.
Before you look at that picture would not have acknowledged.
My memories of him are ...
chained with the hood lay, sleepless.
After the questions raised by the New York Times ...
and under the scrutiny of Abu Ghraib scandal ...
the army finally accelerated Dilawar investigation of the case ...
and began to accuse soldiers abuse ...
mutilation and murder.
When you work with a organization like the army ...
always blaming someone. You can hide some things ...
but it was a death. Were two deaths.
Well, it is logical to accuse people.
It seemed that the army after Abu Ghraib hit ...
wanted the opinion public to see that ...
take action regard to its soldiers.
So I said: "We have this incident two years ago ...
yet we can process some of them. "
Two years ago that I do not have relationship with the army ...
and suddenly I hear I will make a court martial.
That was a great surprise to me.
From the standpoint of defense immediately said ...
this was a political spectacle.
Willie Brand is a good soldier ...
Good Soldiers follow orders ...
Good Soldiers are people who ...
what to do with who were trained.
Interrogators on the ground ...
almost all of them did not know which were the rules.
They had never questioned before.
My training question was ...
Basic Education how to go ...
how to make people to talk.
And then they took us to see interrogations ...
of the types for which We were going to replace ...
by about five or six hours ...
before making my first interrogation.
Damien was chosen for this work because it's big ...
speaks loud and scared.
That was his qualification.
"Soldiers are dying, get information. "
It is the only thing you said: "Get Info".
The soldiers say that when prisoners arrived ...
as Dilawar at Bagram, were attacked immediately.
Shock Of the catch.
I put music at full volume ...
often thrown over barking dogs ...
and used some of the most threatening ...
interrogators to create a sense of danger.
One of them was Damien Corsetti.
With the hood trying to giving what we call ...
"the shock of capture." When the person comes ...
is the best time to achieve information because ...
is frightened, wondering what happens.
The procedure is not limited to mislead ...
but also to terrorize. It is designed to ...
cause terror and make speak, so to speak.
I spit, insult, barking dogs around you ...
you shoot flash front of the face.
Please note that the dog in their culture ...
is more afraid than in ours.
It's almost as if a woman tell them what to do.
It is a cultural issue. Using dogs is successful.
Then you immobilized completely naked ...
to make what they call Register corporal ...
registering cavities.
After you interrogate naked titiritando.
After reading rules and other ...
are brought to their cells, and are prevented from sleeping for 24 hours.
That is all.
From there the Military Intelligence says if ...
can go with the other defendants or whether they were still in isolation.
And if still isolated if you are able to sleep and when.
To weaken detainees ...
interrogators ordered the military police to ...
find new ways to sleep to prevent the prisoners.
You are in that room without saying anything ...
good and think that maybe knows anything more, we a. ..
know, to deprive something more than dream.
That was the idea keep them that way.
Why not sleep well, 're standing ...
as in begin to fall asleep ...
feel the pressure wrists and arms.
The only time the police military help has reached us ...
was to keep at the time of sleep.
Gave them some time to sleep. Was that time continue?
With interruptions? In periods of 15 minutes?
Who knows? That was our goal.
Upon entering the room, had a blackboard on the wall.
You could see an arrow pointing upwards towards the ceiling y. ..
and perhaps one at his side a, That meant an hour's walk.
Should be awake for an hour.
Then one could see two with an arrow.
That meant he could spend two hours sitting.
The prisoners were kept pens in these great ...
and had his number written in the ventilation duct ...
it was a small opening by which they got ...
to raise the isolation cells.
The detainees were shackled with your hands above your head ...
in these ducts, their number I saw the 421 with frequency ...
because his head was just in front of me in that line.
The numbers were written on the back of the prisoners.
And we were all front, too.
At Bagram my number was 180 ...
but then I changed by 558.
Thank you. It is a pleasure to be with you here at Bagram.
GRAL. VISIT FRANKS Bagram. I am sure that any authority to visit us ...
saw the shackles ...
because you come visit to look ...
RUMSFELD VISITS Bagram. are curious as around the world.
Authorities must always visited.
Bromeábamos saying that was the largest show of the world.
Everybody wanted to come to see the terrorists.
We are often called the office of Mr. Rumsfeld.
GRAL. McNeill VISIT Bagram. Senior commanders wanted to learn every day ...
on certain prisoners.
They knew, saw Shackled, hooded ...
told us: "Come they do very well. "
When the Red Cross visited Bagram ...
Slate on time of sleep deprivation was erased ...
and the prisoners were removing the shackles.
The military procedure Traditional does not allow you to ...
shackling people with fixed objects.
And certainly not with arms over your head.
At first got a handcuffed to the people ...
ventilation ducts the cells to punish them.
And that was strictly limited to 15 minutes ...
half hour but soon escalated ...
When they entered, and there ...
had a pair long wives ...
hanging from the wires the mesh roof.
Ready for any arrived.
The cause of death.
CAUSE OF DEATH: HOMICIDE.
The coroner's army Dilawar who discussed ...
discovered tissue damage mass in the legs.
Later testify that his legs had been crushed.
What could cause that kind of damage?
CORONEL HAYDEN: This is not a hotel, is not a place ...
to laze fat and happy.
In a video that appeared in the course of the investigation ...
Colonel David Hayden, the most important lawyer ...
of U.S. forces in Afghanistan ...
describes the policy of restraining and beat the detainees.
Had approved a technical for military police ...
hit in the legs troublesome prisoners.
In theory considered nonfatal strokes.
Never really heard say no to top:
"Give them kicked in the legs if they do this or that. "
What we said was that this was an option ...
to which we could use to control them.
It was just beaten with the knee in the ...
upper thigh. It was assumed that this ...
was a pressure point to control them easily.
If you hit the legs for more than two days ...
can cause serious problems.
Throughout the investigation, and even in trials ...
Several of the guards and interrogators ...
described as Dilawar a very combative prisoner ...
of strong character.
But that never is compatible with ...
other evidence that this man had.
He weighed 55 pounds when he died.
The passengers of the taxi Dilawar told us to ...
he was absolutely terrified at Bagram.
That through the walls Isolation of the cell ...
they had heard yelling calling his father and his mother.
I was in a position very uncomfortable, sputter ...
sometimes praying, others for help.
Or at least it seemed to me asking help because they did not understand their language.
Several witnesses recall the night Prior to the deaths of Dilawar.
Only that night gave the best 10 in the kicking leg.
Some soldiers told who gave knees ...
only silence, because it did not stop shout.
The damage was done.
Their injuries were caused multiple strokes, y. ..
many of them could have been avoided having known ...
that the person who had gone before, used the same technique with him.
When they finally reached move to an isolation cell ...
I think it was body devastated.
One reason for why do we beat ...
it is believed that was faking.
Was standing in the conduit ventilation hooded.
His hands were above of the head and complained.
Began to resist in the duct.
The conduit has an entry front and rear ...
but on both sides There is barbed wire.
None of us wanted get into the barbed wire ...
so I took the duct ...
it lying on the ground and immobilized.
What kind of force had be used for submission?
Physical strength, he was beaten.
There were four policemen military with him.
And one of the PMs not stop give blows to the kidneys.
The other two threw it to the ground ...
and the fourth was climbed into the back.
He had a huge cut on his nose.
There was no reason to beat him, remember that he was handcuffed.
Even when controlling was not a problem ...
eventually exceeded to be enforced.
And possibly it looked a mess.
Because the truth is which could not be ...
kicking a man while he was chained.
Dilawar was taken to cell isolation ...
where they continued giving knees.
In his appearance before the Tribunal, The coroner said the army ...
it seemed as if a bus had passed over his legs ...
and which have survived would have required amputations.
Then came the question: Is this what you did?
Not that I did or what made him or what he did either ...
but what you have done.
Now it is almost incomprehensible.
There were soldiers like Willie Brand, that seems kind of soft voice ...
but testified that struck many times in the legs to Dilawar ...
being tired knee and had to switch to the other.
Sometimes I think we should have ...
continued my moral principles ...
instead of practices.
A military policeman said that acquired the habit of ...
entertain inflicting knees Dilawar only to hear you scream.
Some would say, "Hey, you should have stopped that ...
to see who was wounded, you kicked.
Why not do something. " Very good question.
My answer would be: "We were against us there."
I was there and not I wanted to look like that ...
I returned to my fellow militia.
Is that wrong? Sit here and say it's wrong ...
go there and say it.
No one inquired about who established standards in Bagram.
The researchers will never Wood asked the Captain ...
What high-ranking officers had been authorized to use ...
techniques prohibited by the rules of the army?
Captain Beiring of the Military Police ...
was the only official charged in the case.
Responsible for negligence was dismissed ...
where the judge ruled no one had ...
defined what the Captain Beiring duties.
Despite repeated requests an instruction ...
and standards of performance for his soldiers ...
superiors they are never hit.
We are all concerned about lack guidelines written ...
but we are reassured saying they were coming.
We knew perfectly well why they gave no clear rules ...
if something happened.
If I had to do it again certainly would say no.
That I will not do anything to see something in writing.
And recalling, ¿cree they were poorly informed?
I believe we all were.
CHANGING THE RULES.
A week after 9 / 11, Vice President Dick Cheney ...
appeared in the program "Meet the Press" ...
to ensure that practices iban interrogation to change.
Revenge.
We must work on the dark side ...
will be in the shadow information.
Much of what needs to be done, should be conducted in silence ...
without discussions, using sources and methods ...
available for our Intelligence Agencies ...
if we are to succeed. So they operate.
And it will be vital for us to use all means at our disposal ...
to achieve our goals.
It's been said that everything starts at Vice President Cheney's office ...
fully convinced that we were not so aggressive ...
in interrogations as could or should.
SCOTT HORTON, EXPERT IN INTERNATIONAL LAW.
Had to be tough with detainees.
If Dick Cheney was the architect first of a new policy ...
John Yoo was the principal draftsman.
With a guiding purpose, advocated a more flexible ...
to deal with suspected terrorists.
Former United States considered terrorism a criminal problem ...
the attacks of 9 / 11 showed that the fight against Al Qaeda ...
had been transformed in a war.
And I think that when an entity foreign policy objectives ...
kills 3,000 Americans, causing billions ...
dollars in damages and seeks to eliminate the U.S. government ...
to most people because it looks like a war, not a crime.
President Bush declared the war on terror.
But that raised the question of whether suspected terrorists should be ...
covered by the laws of war ...
prepared by Geneva Convention.
The atrocities of war that shocked the world ...
led to the Geneva Convention.
The purpose of the Treaty International was to provide protection ...
basic to any human being caught in a war.
Indeed, over 50 years, Geneva Convention offered ...
under legal and prohibited the Interrogators used torture ...
and even murder humiliating and degrading treatment.
After 9 / 11, John Yoo worked the office of Dick Cheney ...
and Alberto Gonzales, Adviser to the President.
Together, they drafted a series of reported that argued ...
that the Geneva Convention does not protecting suspected terrorists.
And gave legal cover to that the CIA and Special Forces ...
embarked on a hidden agenda ...
using methods of interrogation banned so far.
Have arrested more than 3000 suspected terrorists in many countries.
Many were a different destination.
Pongámoslo well ...
are no longer a problem either for the U.S. or our allies.
The problem of the president, Gonzales said as ...
was that some of the new interrogation techniques ...
were proscribed by the laws U.S. and international.
Said one of its arguments:
"We do not want to apply the Geneva Convention. "
"Because if it does, it can constitute war crimes. "
Admiral (Ret.) JOHN HUDSON, FORMER MILITARY JUDGE.
It is well known principle of command responsibility.
It was established in the trials of Nuremberg after World War II.
And instituted the principles of international criminal law.
ALBERTO MORA, EX-PROSECUTOR MILITARY LA MARINA.
Where to order treatment illegal ...
be held responsible of this treatment but no ...
they are violations personally this abuse.
To avoid the interrogation practices ...
U.S. struck out with torture ...
John Yoo worked in the drafting a memorandum of ...
devoted to clarifying the meaning of the term.
Prohibits only extreme acts, ie, serious physical injury ...
damage to organs or functions body, or even death.
And that says a legal document, the Memorandum of Torture. "
Was a dubious law.
We discussed and finally was accepted as representative --
It was the decision and final position the Office of Legal Counsel.
The memo from the Office of Counsel Imposed no legal restrictions.
That is, at any time stated that the application ...
of inhuman treatment and degrading prohibited.
And at one point, I asked John Yoo ...
if the president could authorize torture, and his answer was yes.
I think the lawyer should tell the People come what laws and what not ...
to take a political decision.
Prof. Doug Cassel: If the president cree should torture someone ...
including crushing the testicles child of that person ...
Is there no law to prevent it?
That is what I wrote in their memorandum of 2002.
John Yoo: I think that depends on why must I see the president.
The lawyer's army were outraged by ...
the implications of Memorandum from John Yoo.
I began to engage on this issue when I ...
visited a group of lawyers military top-class ...
more than a year after the first news about Abu Ghraib.
Those who were concerned much what happened.
And his main concern was that the controls ...
military were responsible for the acts of the soldiers ...
which were responsible for offer clear guidelines ...
and straight on how to behave in some very difficult circumstances.
And what we saw was a decision ...
intentionally in the most upper echelons of the Pentagon ...
to circumvent all these issues with a haze of ambiguity ...
accompanied by a high pressure for results.
To be willing to violent prisoners.
But to use violence the detainees is a crime.
Perhaps Al Qaeda or Taliban or the worst people in the world ...
and it is certain that some are, but there are certain rules ...
Basic and international agreements signed by the U.S. ...
we must meet. Forward, reply, please.
Allow me a quick clarification.
On the president's policy, how to proceed ...
Armed Forces the U.S. is trying to follow ...
the prisoners humanely, adequately ...
and according to the military needs ...
according to the principles of Geneva Convention.
It is a legal affirmation riddled with loopholes.
And it is clear that the interrogators did not understand that the humane treatment ...
does not depend on color the beholder.
On the ground in Afghanistan, spread confusion ...
about what exactly the rules.
We were told that the Dealing with the "PUC" ...
ie person custody of the U.S. ...
is not subject to the Convention of Geneva, in a nutshell ...
the only thing we were not allowed do was give them beatings.
Persons or persons in control custody or something.
The call to dehumanize and and not consider them persons.
I do not remember having heard anything on the Geneva Convention.
Of course, I know, but not told us about it.
Unaware of what the manual said Army on interrogations ...
unaware of how they defined the manual, I had seen ...
had a copy lying around, I am sure that ...
and if he had wanted, I would have taken to read it ...
but worked 16 hours a day.
Sit to read a regulation was not my highest priority there.
It is a shameful situation, vicious, dangerous and dirty.
And we operate in that environment.
I am convinced that we can achieve and successfully.
But we must take care not handcuff our intelligence services ...
in carrying out its mission.
Play around with terrorists completely different rules.
Will we be required, using their own words ...
to be outrageous, atrocious and dirty to deal with them?
Yeah.
LAB.
Guided by the advice John Yoo's legal ...
the Bush administration sent Prisoners considered important ...
the U.S. Naval Base at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
At first I thought he was a safe place.
You know, put them there, surrounded by barbed wire.
But then it became clear that the reason for doing so ...
was that we could argue there were no laws.
Cuban laws and Americans did not apply.
That was a great false step.
I think that what people wanted makers was to find ...
a place close to the U.S. could be well protected ...
but at the same time could benefit from ...
the rule that says the U.S. Army ...
has the last word with regard to ...
control of prisoners kept outside the country.
One by one, the terrorists are learning ...
what the U.S. justice.
In December 2001, a man named Mohammed al-Qahtani ...
was transferred from Afghanistan to Guantanamo.
After eight months of captivity, discovered that the army could ...
have been trained to be the twentieth hijacker air 11 / 9.
Suddenly, al-Qahtani became the most important prisoner in Guantanamo.
Here was a man that I should have been ...
on the plane as far outside Pennsylvania.
JAY HOOD, commander of the FORCES IN GUANTANAMO 2004-2006.
So I think they felt the urgency to find out ...
he knew what kind, so prevent future attacks.
Resist interrogation techniques usual at Guantanamo ...
for eight months and he is the reason ...
LIEUTENANT GRAL. RANDALL SCHMIDT, AUTHOR OF THE REPORT SCHMIDT.
the detachment of Guantanamo requested the use of other techniques ...
able to overcome resistance for which he had been trained.
In September 2002, John Yoo and Alberto Gonzales ...
traveled to Guantanamo.
Shortly after his visit and just before the arrival of ...
Dilawar at Bagram, Donald Rumsfeld personally approved ...
a new set of psychological techniques ...
interrogation, for use with Mohammed al-Qahtani.
The exact these methods ...
often entrusted to the imagination of the interrogators.

According to the newspaper, There were several occasions ...
which a woman invaded your living space.
And it was a interrogation tactics ...
intended to undermine their faith.

It was a practice that allowed called "the futility of technology."

The interrogators subjected to I would call "sexual assault".

And she was required to behave like a dog.

And all this for lower self-esteem.

began to innovate, to put creative, in quotes.

Just questioning Mohammed al-Qahtani ...
in many respects, contains all evolution, the whole story ...
of torture by the CIA as Over the past 50 years.
The CIA launched a mental control project ...
an authentic Manhattan Project mental domain in 1950.
The CIA investigated exotic techniques such as ...
hypnosis and then Sodium pentothal with ...
and later with electric shock.
And in the end discovered LSD. Anything ...
the drug had no consequences except for the lawsuits.
But what if it works, was that the CIA hired the service ...
most of the scholars preclaros of behavioral science ...
of the best universities U.S. and Canada.
Experiments of the famous psychologist ...
Donald O. Hebb from McGill University ...
attracted the Researchers at the CIA.
Dr. Hebb found which could induce a ...
state similar to 48 hours in acute hypnosis.
And all they did was sit students to volunteer ...
comfortable in a cubicle with air conditioning ...
with glasses, some earmuffs and gloves.
Looked exactly the same the prisoners in Guantanamo.
Those costumes that lead Prisoners at Guantanamo ...
with gloves, goggles and earmuffs.
Everyone thinks it is for safety. No, it is to isolate sensorially.
The first day you have hallucinations, the two can no longer more.
When we were making experiments, I started thinking ...
it was possible that something involve physical ...
or even pain, could be more tolerable than the ...
simple conditions deprivation studied.
The CIA was fascinated, it was rushed over immediately.
I had no idea that he could become a weapon so cruel.
Identified two key techniques:
Identified sensory disorientation.
And identify the pain self when standing ...
for several days with liquid accumulate in the legs.
And together in the ...
"Manual on Interrogation Kurbak in Counter.
And the spread of around the world and all ...
services intelligence.
Think of the treatment that al-Qahtani was subjected.
First there is darkness, then Light passes cold, then heat.
They attack their receptors perceived by the world.
And their upset perception of time.
And this is the first phase.
In Guantanamo, under General Miller's regime ...
he became a Guantanamo veritable laboratory ...
of the behavioral sciences.
And Donald Rumsfeld, ordered to use methods to overcome the manual.
And spread, spread ambiguous in a way so ...
allowing people to make as deemed necessary.
And explored the sensitivity arabic men ...
before sex and sexual identity.
And hence the charge being gay ...
underwear on head and all those things.
People said that the Arabs are very sensitive to sexual humiliation.
Well, what the hell and who is not sensitive to sexual humiliation?
Nobody wants you naked and forced to masturbate ...
with a hood on his head. It'sa ridiculous.
Then set up specialized teams in the behavioral sciences.
And there was the army that psychologists participating in interrogations ...
to discover the fears and phobias of each prisoner.
And all this was done in If al-Qahtani.
Did the communications between General Miller ...
and Secretary Rumsfeld on prisoner in this specific?
To our knowledge, had a considerable amount ...
communications entire chain of command.
As you know, The report by Schmidt ...
it concluded that these techniques alone ...
did not constitute torture, but said than the sum of these techniques:
The cumulative effect the application ...
many simultaneous authorized methods ...
had an abusive and demeaning to the person.
And recommended that the General Miller was punished.
But she said did not constitute torture.
We made a distinction between torture ...
and inhumane treatment according to the ...
General Guidelines and then what could be abusive ...
and degrading. Something can be degrading ...
but not necessarily torture. Can not be inhumane ...
but humiliating but not torture.
Or torture, or pain physical, or injuries.
The environment was safe and devoid risk at all times.
And of course, therein lies the genius of the paradigm ...
psychological CIA.
Psychological torture is a question of definitions.
And of course, is very elusive.
That sounds remarkably similar what happened at Abu Ghraib.
People with the collar dogs, forced to put ...
lingerie. Perhaps a coincidence, maybe not.
If you look at the photographs from Abu Ghraib ...
that will always the same techniques.
The first is the activity sex with the woman's clothes.
Masturbation and the like.
This is exploited sensitivity of their culture.
They were immobilized with short chains and long ...
upside down, those are stress positions.
The most infamous of all the photos of Abu Ghraib ...
is that of the hooded Iraqi on a box with arms outstretched.
He was told that if they fell of the box, if you moved ...
is electrocutaría. So counterfeit electrical cables.
Is the absolute immobility for long periods of time.
And with arms outstretched.
On television they say never try to do this at home.
But try, try spending 10 minutes ...
with arms outstretched and unmoving.
Carolyn Wood was an example how new techniques ...
spread and as a mutated virus.
Before that Wood would charge of interrogations ...
at Abu Ghraib, his unit had practiced ...
brutal techniques at Bagram, such as stress positions ...
required long periods of standing, and sleep deprivation.
One of the memos, which shows in early December 2002 ...
Bagram interrogators that were in contact with the types of ...
Guantánamo via the Internet, they learned that they had ...
received from the Secretary of State new methods of instruction.
And began to use although it clearly ...
had been approved for use nothing else in Guantánamo.
When the Gral Miller traveled from Guantanamo ...
to Iraq in August 2003 brought a CD and a manual ...
Advanced techniques developed at Guantanamo ...
and gave the Gen. Sanchez's command.
So there these multiple paths ...
to track where These interrogation techniques ...
performed this migration overall. From Afghanistan to Iraq ...
and from Guantanamo directly to Iraq.
And the final result, is Abu Ghraib.
Long before knowing abuses at Abu Ghraib ...
civil servants had discretely alerting ...
techniques bestial used at Guantanamo.
Had sent e-mails the Department of Justice ...
FBI personnel at Guantanamo, saying:
"Do not believe what is happening here. "
"The FBI must dissociate what is ...
going at Guantanamo. "
The email reads: "The Department of Defense ...
has orders Secretary of Defense. "
Orders of the Secretary of Defense tactics to use ...
that the FBI considered extremely offensive and dangerous.
But the emails, are, what we call ...
"Editing", which means there are big gaps in them.
Now, some are completely edited so that ...
ignore what they say. This is an example ...
Many of the documents we have here.
You can not see anything in these documents.
One after another there is nothing.
THE INFORMANT.
In early December 2002, continued to abuse detainees.
ALBERTO MORA, ATTORNEY GENERAL ARMY OF 2001 to 2006.
I called the General Counsel Army and asked ...
if he had any information, I said: "I get some reports ...
Abuse of prisoners in Guantanamo, you know something about it. "
And his answer was: "I know a lot on the subject, come to my office. "
I spent a pile of documents on the table ...
The first document was a Memorandum of General Counsel ...
DoD for Secretary Rumsfeld.
Memorandum was a covert in asking ...
authorization to apply certain methods of interrogation.
There was approval Secretary Rumsfeld's ...
to implement Some of these methods.
In this memorandum is a Secretary Rumsfeld's note ...
that says if it passes 8 to 10 hours of walking ...
how was that these detainees only spend 4 hours daily walk.
I was dumbfounded. My first reaction was to believe that it was a mistake ...
someone who had not read the document with precise care.
I think people's Pentagon considered ...
Alberto Mora a loyal Republican, in an important political post ...
never would have considered a problem or a liberal.
He said he hoped raise these issues.
And that people in authority read: "Ah, thanks for telling us."
And that would be the end of all this.
I wanted to ask about a memorandum written by Alberto Mora.
Remember that this memorandum wrote a note that they have ...
to spend more than 4 hours stand because you do?
Yes, yes.
Counsel argues that this could be interpreted as ...
seemed to go well beyond the techniques prescribed in the memorandum.
No, no ... Not given understand anything.
They said that they would have to People stand for several hours.
And jokingly noted that a setentón as I spent all day standing.
Although I should not do, and it was well written.
- And life goes on. - But he is concerned ...
should be advised to best for their legal department.
And I heard your question the first time.
For me the most disturbing was that the techniques themselves ...
alone or in combination could reach the level of torture.
Well, allow certain interrogation techniques ...
but since then has to be some limit ...
it depends on the harsh methods.
The deprivation of light could mean having the prisoner ...
in a dark room for 15 minutes.
Or it could be a month or two or three, until you go blind.
Specific techniques phobias of each detainee.
It refers to snakes, the bats, the rats ...
to lock someone in a coffin, the only limit is your imagination ...
any of these methods alone could be seen ...
including torture and together could certainly reach that level soon.
Dr. Donald Hebb: If subjected to person during this process ...
more than six or eight days, I think that is the maximum tolerable ...
- ... Then the price is very high. - Is the price someone's life?
Presumably, it could be.
The medical literature describes a phenomenon called ...
"Rising Force" that was almost inevitable that ...
interrogators continue increases in applied ...
force for increasing obtain the desired results.
For example, in making the memorandum Secretary Rumsfeld's ...
say, "Look, he says that Dogs must wear a muzzle. "
Well this man does not understand the behavior of ...
in a military zone conflict, because as soon as the ...
soldier to see that the dog because the muzzle not ...
impressed at all interrogated, he was removed.
That is the reality, it is human nature.
Alberto Mora threatened to make public their ...
concerns unless ended such practices.
If after all there is concern ...
then I am also concerned, so I'm ready ...
to cancel the orders, giving A new approach to the case y. ..
talk to people all over this to see what should be done.
, To his Rumsfeld to abolish the ...
interrogation techniques and for a year and a half later ...
not receive any report that ...
was abusing the detainees anywhere.
When it was discovered at Abu Ghraib, the first thing I thought was ...
if I had been deceived.
If authorized the abuse of prisoners without my knowledge.
You really had withdrawn the orders?
According to the interrogators, the use of shackles, dogs, posture ...
forced and sensory assault, continued to spread.
Tony Lagouranis was an interrogator who came to Iraq after ...
that the army knew of abuse at Abu Ghraib.
Among the instructions for interviews they gave us ...
stated that the authorizing use of dogs to detainees ...
stress positions, sleep deprivation.
All those things you did and that it took ...
brutal or violating the Convention Geneva told me to do that.
And were our superiors we were told to do so.
The backbone Armed Forces ...
Americans is chain of command.
What begins in the top of the chain of command ...
falls like a stone the lower end of that chain.
And that's why Lynndie England Donald knew what he believed ...
Rumsfeld even without talking with Donald Rumsfeld.
In full Abu resaca Ghraib, journalists ...
began to look harder in previous cases of abuse ...
to try to understand what the cause and who were responsible.
People like Tim Golden's New York Times, addressed the topic ...
and began to examine the case of Including Dilawar, the taxi driver.
I seemed at least plausible that that man was not guilty ... more
that are at the time of the raid.
And here is a man killed while in custody.
THE WRONG MAN.
... pay tribute to those who were killed ...
who are selflessly every day.
Four years ago, our nation was attacked.
9 / 11 in the floating environment, and I think that ...
officials wanted to continue floating in the atmosphere.
Try to remember these guys that people are our enemy ...
but to understand how iban these young soldiers ...
to discern who were the real enemies ...
among a lot of militia and peasants ...
in a society completely alien to them.
If I remember correctly, his case was about ...
with a missile attack to a military base.
It was assumed that he was the driver the order in which they fled.
Took his new car and was obviously very happy.
That was until Khost the provincial capital ...
where he began to seek for taxi passengers.
In fact these three men found in the market returning to Yakubi.
Imagine, again Dilawar home from the capital ...
which was the Provincial farther from their small world.
And on the basis of the artillery Salerno stop a group of Afghan militia.
Apparently, men found a stabilizer ...
electricity in the trunk of car, or at least it said.
That same day the base Salerno had been attacked with missiles from a distance.
And the Afghan militiamen arrested immediately to the four ...
men who were suspected be involved in that attack.
And then take him to Bagram that is far away.
And you have a lot of types in this detention center ...
and they say they have evidence involved in an attack ...
with missiles U.S. forces.
So I think that whatever the change.
You are immersed in that atmosphere in which only ...
you are in company military, where you ...
feel isolated and morally lose your moral ...
and are frustrated because you do not get ...
information from a prisoner feel guilty that ...
and that you feel may dártela, then start sobrepasarte ...
want to see where you can get.
Much of the pressure was due to fact that we had a few ...
detainees who provided important a lot of useful information.
And when they began to take because the prisoners iban ...
Syria wanted to follow getting the same around the world.
A few of those types interrogábamos by the ...
mere questioning and it was ridiculous, you did ...
with any of those types and you say: "God ...
is not him who would take prisoner. "
Especially if you watch, at the precise moment when the ...
you enter, you realize that should not be there.
We arrived a prisoner who was diminished mental ...
and Sergeant Loring argued that it was a theater ...
one that makes Al Qaeda, and went and talked to him.
In short, he bore type diapers and ate his own feces.
But still Loring saying that pretended.
You said: "We want going to shout that guy "...
so I took the box I was having breakfast cereals ...
entered the room and said: "Well, today I played gritarte" ...
and began: "dehydrated, substitute for salt, "and me ...
he shouted, I watched amazed ...
and I said "Yes, now you have cast the blame for ...
this in my cereal, "or they shouted that if Elvis was ...
truly the king of rock and if still alive, things like that.
And that what I wrote in my reports, and deliver them to my superiors ...
saying that everything we had been doing for two hours.
You can not evaluate a person to not talk to her a few times.
So the first three Sometimes talking with someone ...
only verify the version, looking for contradictions ...
looking for gaps, then the third time, if your version ...
remained consistent, said I felt that he was innocent.
They wanted that people were guilty ...
because its unit was well, and could ...
we say 60 people arrested ...
in a month and that all they were terrorists.
"When was the last time you saw Osama Bin Laden and Mullah Omar. "
These questions were routine who were all detained.
It is very difficult to undertake an interview with ...
very little evidence and almost never we had against those guys ...
and yet they sacábamos a confession ...
and you can get information, but getting ...
criminalizing a type himself totally ...
is very difficult, so you have techniques that draw ...
increasingly outrageous to make such a confession.
Sergeant Loring, I cried for being very kind to him ...
told me that he had that pressure.
As he liked to say, I had that make you feel uncomfortable.
After a time, particularly after the fourth ...
or fifth interview, when the sleep deprivation ...
which is starting to subject them effect of truth ...
interrogation intensified.
The Sergeant Salcedo was a inexperienced interrogator ...
but it was taking the initiative, a prisoner who had not wanted ...
look for a woman who said that the frustrated a lot, so I took ...
and the face turned towards her look at that and take it seriously.
But of course, was an Afghan belonging to a culture ...
not very conservative tribal I watched women unknown.
The Sergeant was Salcedo I felt a little aggrieved ...
so I interposed between them.
And then when I got by the shirt and throwing it to the wall.
They tried to stay standing together to the wall, but slips ...
down, it held against the wall.
Reasons not understood, no was more than delusions.
The interpreter told me that ...
his wife came to visit to the cell ...
which certainly did not occur.
I do not know if you ever have seen someone deprived of sleep ...
two days to begin to be idiotizados.
For three days, no longer worth anything.
I knew something was not right.
The next thing I knew is that he died.
Not long after murder of Dilawar ...
knew that the commander of the guerrilla ...
Afghan arrested Dilawar and to the other ...
was arrested for them Americans.
And it turned out that he was the one who rocket struck their base.
Then captured Afghans innocent and delivered ...
the Americans to ingratiate itself with them.
The three passengers were Sent to Guantanamo ...
Passenger Dilawar. and did not leave until March 2004 ...
ie 15 months after have been captured.
It is difficult to know The reason that ...
Americans moved Despite those men ...
that was completed no doubt that ...
Dilawar was at least innocent when he was murdered.
Of course, it makes you if not send to ask ...
Hence, only those types to cover their backs.
Worst of the worst.
Are not innocent are the worst of the worst.
Are among the murderers most dangerous ...
best trained and most cruel that is on the face of the earth.
Are terrorists, manufacturers pumps, working with terrorism ...
are members of Al Qaeda, Taliban.
And if they are released, continue killing.
All I know with certainty, they are evil people.
Despite the fact that Rumsfeld, Cheney and the Pdte. Bush say that these ...
types are the worst of the worst captured on the battlefield ...
a recent study of government documents ...
shows that only 5% of these people were captured by U.S..
Only 8% are accused of belonging to Al Qaeda.
More than 90% were delivered by the Northern Alliance ...
or by Pakistani Forces in return for rewards.
Offer substantial rewards.
Newsletters that seem to throw decembrinas snowfall in Chicago.
An analysis of documents declassified government ...
revealed that only 7% of Guantanamo detainees ...
were captured by U.S. and Coalition Forces.
The remaining 93%, as Dilawar and his passengers ...
were handed over by warlords Afghan and Pakistani ...
sometimes in exchange for thousands dollars in cash.
The army is not interested in spending $ $ 40,000 a year ...
on Guantanamo detainee people who are not Al Qaeda.
Make sure they are interested in more that the detainees are actually ...
members of Al Qaeda that wasting resources ...
and stopping time innocent people.
It seems natural to stop people in times of war.
Want to arrest any of the suspect that it is dangerous.
The difference is that the government first ...
U.S. history has not met its own standards ...
requiring a trial ...
immediately following the capture in case of doubt.
During the war in Afghanistan, 2001 the U.S. military was ...

But the civil authorities of Defense Department prevented.
When someone Afghanistan said ...

for any reason or based in ...
testimony of another Afghan who hates that person ...
and I want to get rid of it appropriate planting opium ...

took the form of a claim nothing and still have it.

I was a hood on his head ...

Since that time no I went to see my family.
I was sent to Kandahar and then to Bagram.
Y cuando me iban a transfer to Guantanamo ...
I am covered from head to toe with all sorts of things.
A mask, some earrings, and black glasses just in case ...
still saw something, a hood I covered my head.
Go sit in the plane was a torment ...
I had a third set of shackles that ...
carried around the waist and chained to the back.
It was impossible to move, impossible to breathe ...
was impossible to hear anything so when I got to shout ...
I implore him one of the guards I inject something ...
sleeping.
We strive for two years and a half ...
just to see prisoners and then ...
others strive months for the military ...
give us the green light good to go in there.
What a bizarre thing. I never thought when ...
studied law in the U.S. ...
would have to talk to someone to have access to my clients ...
or ask if They had been tortured.
The "Habeas Corpus" is the essence the rule of law.
Denying people a trial basic to deprive him of his freedom ...
is one of the reasons we made the revolution ...
so that the King could not deny anyone of their liberty without trial.
In June 2004, two years and a half later ...
that the first inmates came to Guantanamo ...
the Supreme Court rejected The claim of the administration ...
Bush to hold prisoners indefinitely ...
allow them to challenge their detention before a court.
After that decision the army was ...
new courts Special solved ...
prisoners had remain in Guantanamo.
Courts Review of the Combatant Status ...
rapidly by the government nine days after ...
that to win the Supreme Court, are a farce.
You have no rights, not even a lawyer ...
not entitled the testimony of witnesses ...
unknown charges brought against you ...
and ignore what evidence secret is against you.
You may never know. That does not prevent ...
can a case of why ...
if they are left free in the future, why are no longer a threat.
My client could found to be innocent ...
in those courts, but then the army believed ...
it does not sound very good, to be declared ...
that are not enemy combatants (NEC) ...
should be declared NLEC which means ...
that are no longer enemy combatants ...
because before they were guilty, but now that has changed ...
so we are not guilty, but we were right at first.
These men are not necessarily innocent ...
is not an accurate description.
The more specific designation is that we ...
are no longer enemy combatants.
They were separated from the rest of the arrested for the government ...
U.S. is a country to be passed.
Some of these types are withdrew from the battlefield ...
and if not here, will be there ...
killing soldiers Americans.
If you are here is something our mission is ...
to ensure that remain here until ...
conclusion that no longer should continue here.
Guantanamo serves to hide the fact ...
that the real bad Mullah Omar and of course ...
Osama Bin Laden, have not been captured.
Guantanamo along with their "Malis" 750 types ...
are just a Image to say:
"Look, we're accomplishing something in the fight against terrorism. "
THE TOUR FOR THE PRESS IN GUANTANAMO.
And that is the main entrance Camp X-Ray
It would be very hard to escape here.
CAMP X-RAY WAS Abandoned in April 2002.
The cells measured 2.5 x 2.5 x 2.5 meters.
By an individual cell.
Will be remembered for individuals with orange clothes ...
were three or four knees and looking over there ...
three or four knees and looking into further.
If you take photos from here obtain the same image.
No detainee has died at Guantanamo for nothing.
MISCELLANEOUS FROM THIS INTERVIEW Detainees have committed suicide.
Doctors will tell you that we have already conducted over 100 operations ...
well, that's one advantage to be here, to be healthy ...
and what they cure to be curarles.
We have introduced new sports here at Camp 4.
Recently assemble this half basketball court.
And to the left of it be a soccer field.
Living in Camp 4 is a privilege.
To live here have to abide the rules of the camp.
And we've introduced things like cake on Wednesday night ...
Pepsi on Monday night ice cream on Sunday evening.
We will come to see the bed.
In bed with what they call "comfort", which is ...
objects such as toothbrushes, but also games of checkers.
And I asked: "And who is going to play the ladies my client? "
It is only confined to an isolation cell.
What problem is that Press the pictures ...
talk to them, observe?
We do not want to give them a means of expression.
We want to avoid that detainees express their vile ...
Islamist arguments, its violent and vile Islamic arguments.
Souvenir shop OF GUANTANAMO.
It is a tactic of Al Qaeda.
Start hunger strikes to attract media attention ...
81 detainees were strikers HUNGER IN THIS JOURNEY.
and lobby the government the USA.
When the number increased significantly ...
You began to wonder on the subject and they know it.
Camp 5 is a isolation facilities ...
for maximum security interviews with 100 beds.
If you are detained at Camp 5 days are always the same ...
and you spend 24 hours a days alone in an isolation cell.
The two half-cell and half by two meters.
I am unable to give three steps in any direction.
I became convinced that would happen Hence most of my life ...
and that perhaps I carried, something told me often.
What especially pernicious of Guantanamo Bay is ...
do not know when it will end, not even know if it will.
The reason that the prisoners on hunger strike ...
and die of starvation, is that in the words of ...
Omar Deghayes: "Since I am slowly dying in here ...
Guantánamo, at least they can have my own life. "
INTERROGATION ROOM.
I have no intention whatsoever to detain anyone here that ...
is no longer a threat for our country ...
or unable to give information useful in the war ...
against terrorism. Collect data yet ...
of men We locked.
One of the reasons that I isolated were related ...
with the fact of having witnessed of the deaths at Bagram.
I wonder what soldiers had been involved ...
so I brought in pictures of people in the unit ...
and indicated that they believed who were involved.
I asked one of the things more strange that I never ...
asked all the time I was imprisoned.
And if he was willing to testify in the trial of those soldiers.
And I thought: "How ironic is this ...
That is the only court get to see ...
after all these years of captivity. "
THE RULE OF LAW.
The cruel ironies of the story of Dilawar ...
echoed in a debate without end the U.S. Congress ...
on abuses of detainees, national security ...
and the rule of law.
To a senator, John McCain, former prisoner of war ...
the abuse of prisoners was both political and personal.
NORTH VIETNAM, 1968.
I want to say ...
my wife, that I will be fine.
I love her and that See you again soon.
I would like being told.
That's it.
If this man, after six or seven years of torture ...
said that it is not effective, it is inhumane ...
and feeding contempt towards the U.S..
He could stand up and be the voice of morality in this matter.
Send to fight for us to Afghanistan and Iraq.
The push to raise information from detainees ...
pero luego obviamos las reglas con las we train our soldiers ...
and replaced by a set changing rules and confusing.
And when things were bad, I miss the guilt and punishment.
I think we can do better than that.
I strongly urge you to do justice to your men ...
and women in uniform, to give rules of conduct that reflect ...
the ideals for who risk their lives.
On October 5, 2005 because every time ...
came more cases of abuse detainees to the courts ...
Senator John McCain proposed the "Detainee Treatment Act."
The Act sought to abolish a of torture by the U.S..
As well as cruel, inhuman and degrading.
And prompted a national debate, plagued by a vicious details.
Is it still permissible using a wet towel ...
and water to induce a misperception of suffocation?
The use of wet towel and water to induce ...
misperception Choking was a ...
the methods applied by the detachment ...
Guantanamo in its long list. Never adopted.
It has never been a technique adopted.
One technique that made the transition ...
the scope physical to psychological ...
in fact, the only was "waterboarding."
Because in the Middle Ages, times of the Inquisition ...
was used for its terrible physics ...
was used to purge and punish the heretic.
Water is introduced by the throat to force ...
cree that the victim is drowning, it's frightening.
You have the feeling that die.
Right after 9 / 11, The CIA obtained the approval ...
the White House use the "waterboarding".
One of the first Where was tested ...
was in the interrogation Ibn al-Shaykh al-Libi ...
alleged emir of a camp Al Qaeda training.
Initially the FBI was responsible his interrogation ...
but the administration is impatient with the slow ...
that results obtained techniques of the FBI.
So given al-Libi to the CIA.
Was immobilized, bound with a ribbon ...

I boarded a plane and sent to Egypt in an illegal flight.
Then during the two weeks subjected to brutal torture ...
through all these techniques, including the "waterboarding".
And what came from al-Libi was that the regime of Saddam Hussein ...
had trained in Al Qaeda methods of chemical and biological warfare.
One of the things we know about torture is that torture ...
someone will say to his interrogator cree what he wants to hear.
At the time when he applied the "waterboarding" ...
al-Libi began speak clearly.
But instead of questioning what read and consider carefully ...
to see if what she said could be substantiated ...
left immediately.
Rushed to inform you that al-Libi had said and left the torture.
And "bang", what comes to the highest ...
and suddenly it Colin Powell says:
"Hey, no longer must worry his doubts, because ...
just confirm that there was contacts between Al Qaeda and Baghdad. "
In February 2003, the then Secretary of State Colin Powell ...
appeared before the UN advocating the invasion of Iraq.
I can recount the history of as a major terrorist ...
that Iraq trained Al Qaeda in the use of these weapons.
Fortunately, this is a terrorist arrested and had their history.
A year later the CIA accused al-Libi ...
distort information and invalidated all reports ...
intelligence services with that information.
That is, get information, but false information.
I think Colin Powell said he had been the most embarrassing days of his life.
According to all experts, the torturing people ...
is not the best way to obtain information.
Breaking down barriers between you and them ...
earn your trust, is the best way to achieve it.
Experience is needed, true talent, a little patience ...
and maybe you say something worthwhile.
And then, if they should run ahead.
If you want to understand well with someone ...

And this is how it works.
The amount of information obtained before 9 / 11 ...
for me it was valuable.
Who else would tell us how to come to Al Qaeda?
What it meant "Billah"? How do they communicate?
What used satellite phones? What Bin Laden had a double?
And get all this information, were able to perform certain operations.
As boring as it may seem, for me remains the best method.
And we do not have to ask Apologies to anyone.
We do not know what revenge us.
And if I wanted to encourage the believers ...

LA BOMBA DE TIEMPO.
Advocates of torture tend to focus on the hypothetical.
They talk about the impending explosion a time bomb.

It is merely an absurd, because you can tell them:
"Hey, cítame one time ...
the last 500 years we've had in ...
arrested someone a time bomb. "
The probability that happen, is remotísima.
And although the case, who you ensures that knocking ...
you'll get the information? If a guy is as committed ...
I think it will die before giving.
Just after the appearance of the pictures ...
Abu Ghraib in mid 2004, 35% of ...
U.S. respondents, believed that torture ...
was acceptable certain circumstances.
Even after the photos of Abu Ghraib, and I think this shows ...
that this kind of popular culture causes an endorsement of torture ...
which allows the White House Bush is getting his own way when ...
distorted the laws and treaties without outraged public opinion.
In a radio trend conservative, the vice president ...
Dick Cheney defended without any detour the practice of "waterboarding."
Do not you think that "waterboarding" is not must question whether lives are saved?
Well, I do not question it, but during a time ...

Do not forgive torture.
"We do not torture", footnote page, according to our definition ...

In the election campaign of 2006, Bush defended the administration ...

How to be iban except the Americans?
In addition to the terrorists Guantanamo ...
a small group suspected leaders of ...

The CIA program included:
Some people question, "Why recognizes Now the program?
Waterboarding, Forced nudity ...
Some believe that the military and intelligence personnel ...

This is unacceptable.
President Bush was forced to reveal ...
the secret CIA program when the Supreme Court ...

Hamdan's historic decision, The Supreme Court concluded that ...
interviews and processes of terrorists ...

This debate has because the failure ...
Supreme Court says that we must act ...
under Common Article 3 of the Geneva Convention.
And the Common Article 3 says that no infringe upon human dignity.
That's ... is ... is, I do not know very vague. What does it mean?

Senator, I ...
Well, again ... I will say this ...
I am concerned of such a ban ...
is: what does that mean? How do you define?
And who would define it?
The Bush administration introduced a new law ...
to circumvent the restrictions Supreme Court.
In a legal sense, I think they wanted to eliminate ...
the Constitution and rewritten.
But you can not do that, so what do ...
is to provide a new interpretation of the former.
The new interpretation is that the Executive ...
in time of war and maybe this war will last forever ...
is almighty.
Congress gave the president more than they wanted.
Agree to abide by the Geneva Convention ...
provided they could define its meaning and application.
A few prisoners Guantanamo would be tried ...
but the rest would never access to habeas corpus.
The fundamental legal right to challenge their detention.

Very hidden within this law ...
There is a provision forgive President Bush ...
and all members of administration of all ...
possible crimes torture-related ...
and abuse of prisoners since September 11 2001.
At least Nixon had Gerald Ford to do the dirty work.
President Bush tries forgive himself.
Forgiveness is not extended to soldiers in battle.
The trial was a time very confusing to me ...
had never been in one, I did not know what was going on.
All that is included I faced a long ...
conviction, that is the only thing I understood everything.

GLENDALE WALLS SPECIALIST I should plead guilty to: assault and two counts of negligence.
I was told that a change does not happen more than four months in jail.
Instead of spending money on a view, would have invested ...
better training for soldiers and ensure that other people ...
enters into battle well equipped, directed and understanding ...
quite new rules and responsibilities.
When a prisoner is abused, or a detainee alleges abuse ...
want someone pay for the damage.
And there are people who have eagles or stars on the sleeves.
No official has been If convicted of Dilawar.
Following his service at Abu Ghraib, the Captain Carolyn Wood ...
was assigned to the School of Interrogation of the Army ...
Fort Huachuca, Arizona.
And what it reflects on ...
the intentions of senior executives?
Not eradicate abuse ...
but the perpetuation of abuse.
I think there is a possibility other terrorist attacks ...
of dying more Americans.
And the argument that we should abuse of detainees ...
to protect lives Americans ...
I believe violates our values rooted ...
and against its own security of our country.
Not only strive to protect lives ...
fight to protect our principles.
If I say that Afghanistan, Guantanamo and Iraq ...
We have caught 50 thousand people, I would say ...
less than 1% were terrorists.
FROM 11 SEPT 2006 ARE MORE THAN 83 THOUSAND PRISONERS.
None have been Brought to trial.
Some were insurgents? Possibly.
Will all of Iraq to become insurgents ...
after the treatment? Sure.
I was kidnapped, imprisoned me unfairly, I was tortured ...
and threatened me with more torture, without charge, without trial.
Released by Moazzam Begg PRESSURE OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT.
Many soldiers I said then:
"Hell, if you were not terrorist when you came ...
when you leave you will be safe, by how they treat you. "
I think there are certain prejudices ...
that this religion and people who hijacked the planes ...
just feels so respect for life ...
that we look and say:
"if you have life in such low esteem '...
is clear that the 11 / 9 is an example of this ...
"they are the devil Here anything goes. "
Villagers come the tomb of Dilawar ...
to pray for his soul already departed.
I pray for him and for all others are in the cemetery.
"Dilawar, the martyr" VILLAGE OF YAKUBI.
BROTHER OF Dilawar. What would you say to Americans?
My brother was innocent.
It was almost a boy and killed him.
Since he died, I can not taste the tea.
I can not taste food. I can not prove anything.
Imagine coming out of here and someone kills him on the road.
In what state would be his children and his wife?
How would he feel his father?
Not surprisingly, the end of all this ...
Dilawar, the victim, been forgotten.
Dilawar was almost invisible during trials.
Never saw pictures yours, no one ever mentioned the ...
women and children who stayed without husband and father.
You will not be took account at all.
Dilawar was unable to work in the field ...
so I said: "Drive taxi ...
and bring meat and potatoes the family at night. "
There are many people out there that ...
fall into the same system if not resolved.
And you only need one case for remind you of what is capable.
American values are based on the concepts ...
of human dignity and the sacredness of the individual.
Allowing the use of the cruelty of an officially ...
tantamount to saying that parents of our homeland ...
were wrong on those inalienable rights.
Obviously Americans we believe that ...
somehow it is our moral higher than the rest of the world ...
and for whatever reason, We have a strong desire to believe.
And the truth is I do not know what the consequences will bring us ...
and I think that many people decided that after ...
9 / 11 and everything is different we can no longer be good ...
we have to be tough.
- And let's see what results from that. - What do you think?
I think that is nonsense.
I think we should keep trying be the best you can.
DEDICATED TO MY FATHER FRANK B. Gibney. 1924 to 2005.
I find it totally inconceivable that the highest authorities ...
Rumsfeld, Bush and Cheney, not only tolerate torture ...
but also advocate it.
The truth is that it destroyed my faith in the U.S. government.
Because during the Second World War and the Korean ...
in which I served well, I had the feeling ...
be on the side of the good guys.
That justice was always in the United States of America.
That people receiving treatment decent and law prevailed.
Never forget that behind the facade hate the war ...
had a rule of law that people follow.
It was something we thought.
It was what made the United States differently.
