- | The Bush Administration said they were captured | 0:02 |
on the battlefield, no one was captured on the battlefield. | 0:04 | |
They were captured for the most part by | 0:07 | |
the US's Afghanistan of Pakistani allies | 0:10 | |
or they were captured in what mostly appeared | 0:13 | |
to be chronically inept raids on houses in Pakistan. | 0:16 | |
But it was important for me to work | 0:23 | |
in trying to work out who they were. | 0:26 | |
So, you know, their voices would come through | 0:27 | |
sometimes in the transcripts. | 0:29 | |
It was amazing that in some cases | 0:30 | |
it was almost like you could hear them | 0:34 | |
even when they were translated. | 0:35 | |
Even with all these mistakes that would have occurred | 0:37 | |
in the translation the whole clunking | 0:41 | |
idiotic system of these reviews | 0:44 | |
which was only intended to rubber stamp | 0:46 | |
their prior designation as enemy combatants | 0:48 | |
it was not meant to be about justice. | 0:51 | |
But sometimes you could really hear the people. | 0:52 | |
But it was important to me not just to convey | 0:54 | |
who they were if I could but to work out the statistics. | 0:58 | |
If these people weren't the worst of the worst | 1:03 | |
captured on a battlefield then who were they? | 1:05 | |
So, you know, that nearly half of them | 1:07 | |
were captured crossing from Afghanistan into Pakistan | 1:09 | |
at the end of 2001. | 1:12 | |
A much smaller number actually were captured | 1:14 | |
in Afghanistan in various places | 1:17 | |
and then these house raids like I said | 1:20 | |
in Pakistan primarily. | 1:22 | |
And then 40 or so prisoners | 1:24 | |
who had been through the Black Sites | 1:27 | |
and had come to Guantanamo through that route. | 1:29 |
