if you stray outside the designated
areas you will be removed from the
island
it's recommended you wear a hijab when
visiting your client we've had incidents
of inmates spitting at female lawyers
you want to represent the head recruiter
for 9 11.
muhammadu olsalahi the mauritanian held
in guantanamo
he recruited the guys who flew your
friend's plane into the south tower
he put those men on my husband's plane
i'm gonna make him pay in the event the
detainee lunges for you push back away
from the table we'll get in there as
quick as we can
[Music]
i'm nancy hollander this is my associate
we wish to represent you
we are seeking the death penalty but if
we miss something this guy goes home
let's get to it call this number speak
to my mother
tell her i don't know something nice
the u.s government is holding upwards of
700 presidents glen thomas
since when did we start locking people
up without a trial in this country
that's a lot of case files the
prosecution won't show us the evidence
they have against you
it's all redacted get a problem take it
up with the government
all my time here i've been told you are
guilty
not for something that i have done but
because of suspicions
and associations i am innocent he has
been interrogated he has been held
against his will
for six years without a single charge
being laid against him
it doesn't bother you at all working for
someone like this
i'm not just defending him i'm defending
the rule of law you haven't seen what
i've seen
where i'm from in mauritania we know not
to trust the police
but never did i believe that the united
states of america would use
fear and terror to control me a couple
of suitless nights that's all
i've never been part of a conspiracy but
i'm starting to think
this is what it must feel like to be on
the outside you're overthinking this
either wear the jersey or get off the
field
you need to tell me what happened to you
i can't defend you do you understand
that
you asked me to set fire to this place
but i'm still
maybe he's guilty maybe he is like we're
doing our job i'm not welcome home
that's not a part of my job
if i'm wrong when it comes to my record
and i'm the one that'll have to add
support what makes you think you're any
better than the rest of us i don't think
i'm better than anybody else that is the
point
for eight years i have been dreaming of
being in a courtroom now that i'm here
i'm scared to death you know i think i
figured out
why they built guantanamo down there
my client he's not a suspect he's a
witness
mr slahi would you please raise your
right hand and repeat after me

the mauritanian
