department of defense accommodates family visits at our detention facilities in iraq and afghanistan, the department does not conduct family visits at the guantanamo bay detention facility. as a matter of policy, we do not comment on any discussions with international committees of the red cross, end quote. stay tuned for more on that. and it gets to the question of, who pays to fly family members there, if that happens. now, senator john mccain, a survivor of more than five years in a north vietnamese prison camp on the floor of the senate, denouncing the use of enhanced interrogation techniques by the u.s. and here is some of what he s saying, right now. i believe some of these practices, especially water boarding, which is a mock execution, and thus, to me, indisputably torture are and should be prohibited in a nation that is exceptional in its defense and advocacy of human rights.

claimed they recaptured zawia, but that was false, and we know that because of alex crawford from sky news who was there. the regime has also said again and again that reporters are free to go wherever they want in libya to cover the story. that too is not true. yesterday reporters in tripoli were told they would be shot dead for merely going up on the hotel roof. late tonight new word that a bbc news team trying to get to zawia was detained for 21 hours, beaten by members of the army and secret police. hooded and subjected to a mock execution. they were finally released and managed to get out of libya. so did alex crawford, the sky news reporter, who spent three days in zawia, witnessing the repeated attacks by gadhafi forces against civilians with no military training. libyan civilians who simply want an end to the rule of gadhafi. i spoke to alex and we ll play you a lot of the interview, because it clearly shows what gadhafi is doing to his own people.
