came out of my experience in Guantanamo is, | 0:08 | |
basically my future is gone because of this. | 0:11 | |
When people look at us, | 0:16 | |
they don't look at my 36 years of life prior to Guantanamo, | 0:19 | |
they'll look at my four years of life in Guantanamo. | 0:25 | |
Doesn't matter of what they say, | 0:29 | |
they say that I am innocent, they released me and all that. | 0:31 | |
But when people hear that I have been to Guantanamo, | 0:34 | |
they look at me differently. | 0:38 | |
Some people don't even say hi to me | 0:40 | |
because they know that I was in Guantanamo. | 0:41 | |

this name became a big black stamp on my head, | 0:47 | |
a lot of people judge me because of that, | 0:51 | |
all this, like, terrorists in Guantanamo and this and that, | 0:53 | |
people take cautious. | 0:58 | |
