countries around the world, when you start treating people differently, not because of any harm they are doing anybody, but because they are different, that s the path whereby freedoms begin to erode. and bad things happen. and when a government gets in the habit of treating people differently, those habits can spread. as an african-american in the united states i am painfully aware of the history of what happens when people are treated differently under the law. and there were all sorts of rationalizations provided by the power structure for decades in
going on contemporaneously and not after the fact rationalizations. the report just puts the lie to that statement. he was compliant from the very beginning, from the very beginning. the information they got was not actionable intelligence. i know your client is still in guantanamo bay. we will be following your case and his very closely. i appreciate your time. visiting professor at cornell. thanks if are having me on. counsel for the first prisoner waterboarded after 9 1 9/11. stay with us, everybody. how is this torture report being received around the world? that is the question we tackle with the chief global affairs correspondents and big reactions. stay tuned for that.
