The Road to Guantanamo Page #4
that was it, you'd get punished.
Hey, you, get your ass down!
You are Al-Queda.
No.
Pick that motherf***er up.
Look at me.
You are Al-Queda.
- You're Al Queda.
- No, I'm not.
Listen, you motherf***er.
Do you know this can stop whenever
you make the decision..
it can stop or it could go all night, okay?
We could be here all night, we could be
here all day tomorrow.
All right, you're Al Queda
We've got you with the Taliban.
You were arrested by the Northern Alliance.
All right?
Now, I wanna know where Bin Laden is.
Look at me. Where's Bin Laden?
I don't know. I ain't got a clue.
Pick him up.
When he was punching me,
I was getting knocked to the floor.
and when i come back, my face all bruised up.
...7, 8, 9...
...10, 11, 12...
...13, 14, 15, 16...
...17, 18, 19, 20...
The people that were already there had Korans
Shake down! Move it! Everybody up!
Get up!
Look underneath their clothes over there.
They'd grab them and throw them
where we used to urinate.
F***, man.
Gotta do it faster. Trying to beat a minute
thirty. Come on, we can do it.
Move, move, move...
Give him a chair, sit him on a chair..
Yeah, uncuff him at the back, cuff him at
the front.
Take this.
So Asif.
Surprised to hear another British voice?
Yes.
That's quite a long way from home, is it?
But the difference between you and me is I
can explain why I'm here.
You, however, seem to have a little more
difficulty doing that.
So, shall we start at the beginning?
Everything all right?
I've got your police record here
and I've got Asif's police records here.
If you don't believe me,
look at these, these are forms from Interpol.
So?
So, I just want to clarify that I'm not
bullshitting you.
And I don't want you to bullshit me
lt's gonna make both our lives a lot easier
Let's just have a look at your police record, shall we?
Fraud, deception...
...handling stolen goods, violent disorder.
- Yeah, but we weren't charged for it.
- But those facts are true then?
- yeah
- So I'm not bull shitting you?
- No.
So you wanna tell me what you were
doing at Finsbury Park mosque?
I'm nowhere near there,
I don't know what you're on about!
i wasn't in Finsbury Park Mosque
Perhaps you wanna tell me about how you
become a member of Al-Muhadschirun?
Who?
Get up.
Sit him in a chair..
Are you surprised to hear that 16 hours...
...after you left England,
your home was raided?
- That's bullshit.
- No, no, it's not bullshit.
It's the truth.
Is it bullshit that you've attended
Birmingham Central Mosque?
No, I've been there.
is it bullshit that you got into a coach
and went to a march in London?
Does that ring true with you?
i find that very hard to believe.
I don't supposed you get a lot of news of back
home. Of what's going on.
I'm gonna show you something, it's a little
treat for you.
Have a look at this.
These are copies of papers from the HOME office
See that? INTERPOL, HOME office
This is a new law that our Government has
just drawn up...
...allowing the authorities to deport any
families...
...with any connection to terrorist cells or
terrorist organisations.
Do you understand the implications of that
for you and your family?
Your sister's at Exeter University, isn't she?
I wonder how easy it'd be to continue her
university course in Pakistan?
You see how serious this is?
Up!
Here, move it!
Hands on your head!
- Don't move.
- Don't you f***ing move!
Up, up. Move it, come on!
Come on, come on.
Move it, move it, move it.
On your knees! On your knees!
Lie down. Put your legs out!
Come on.
This isn't a stroll in the park.
Run, you camel jockey, come on!
That's it, go on, run, you little bastard...
Take the bag off.
Move it. What are you? Scared?
Take the bag off.
Stand still.
All right, keep moving.
Keep the pace up, fuckhead!
More Al Queda and Taliban prisoners
arriving today in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba.
Despite international criticism...
America insists that the conditions inside
Camp X-Ray are humane.
The fact remains the treatment is proper
and there's no doubt in my mind...
...that it is humane and appropriate...
...and consistent with the Geneva
Convention for the most part.
Remember, the ones in Guantanamo Bay
are killers.
...they're...
...they don't share the same Values we
share.
On his knees, facing this way.
Knees down.
- Third pole.
- Don't let him look. Don't let him look.
You're now the property of the U.S. Marine
Corp!
This is your final destination.
Down.
- Keep your f***ing head down!
- Get your legs crossed.
We were sitting like this on our knees...
...for ages. It was a really hot day, you
could feel the sun burning your head.
Down. Down!
Don't let him come up that far.
Hey, get a medic!
Get up. Take him out of here.
Let's go.
Shut the f*** up!
My eyes are stinging!
Whats that p*ssy-boy? You got something to say?
Are you the f***ing Brit?
F***ing Brit traitor.
Get on your knees! Get on your f***ing
knees. I'm not doing it for you.
Go. Move!
Get away from the fence.
Get away from the wall.
Get off the fence.
That's Your piss bucket, that's your drinking water, right,
Stay off the f***ing fence.
Shut up!
Shut the f*** up!
For the first month and a half we never
went out of our cells.
What the f*** are you doing?
- Take it down.
- I'm just putting up some shade.
now, take it down now!
Just sit down and be quiet.
You speak English.
For Christ's sake, you should know the rules by now.
They wouldn't let us pray.
You couldn't stand up in your cell.
For the first two weeks we weren't allowed
to speak to the guy next to us.
- You all right, man?
- Shut up. No talking.
You know the guy who wears the yellow suit?
Hey, fuckstick! Quit praying!
Hey! Stop praying!
- Wait right there.
- They called it 'Extreme reaction force
It's five soldiers in riot gear who come into
your cell.
Their job is to secure you.
- Take him out. - Go, go, go!
That's it.
No talking!
...take that towel off your head. Now!
Go. Back of the cell, now.
Don't move.
Come on, move.
What is your name?
Asif...Asif lqubal.
- And where you from, Asif?
- Tipton.
I'm from the British Embassy.
How are you?
I don't want to know about
your emotional state.
I want to know about the state of your
health.
- What were you doing in Afghanistan?
- Went to get married.
Your friend in Afghanistan...
...has alreay told us you went there for
Jihad.
- Tell us the truth, you can go home.
- I'm telling you the truth.
I never went for no Jihad.
I left Tipton to get married.
My dad's in Pakistan, you can ask him,
he's waiting for me.
Your friends have told us you were there on
a Jihad.
What friend?
How did you end up in Afghanistan?
I can't prove anything...
...and you're not gonna believe me, so...
...I'm not gonna say anything else.
Watch it, don't bite you. Look at you,
Stop f***ing about, man.
Okay, I'm from Ml5 in England. We're here to ask
