View Full Version : Canadian teenager cries in Guantanamo interrogation video

How can we help this child to come out of this hell?
Is this democracy?
Is this peace?

A sobbing Canadian teenager begged for help as he was interrogated at the US "war on terror" camp at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, in the very first video glimpse of any such questioning released on Tuesday.

The video was posted online by attorneys for terror suspect Omar Khadr, who is shown being questioned at the prison by Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) agents in February, 2003.

Khadr is the youngest detainee at Guantanamo, accused of killing a US soldier in a firefight in Afghanistan.

He has been held at the US facility naval since his arrest in 2002, when he was 15 years old, and faces an upcoming US military commission on terrorism charges.

"Help me, help me, help me," Khadr says in the video, weeping, holding his head in his hands.

The footage covers seven and a half hours of questioning over three days. It depicts a dejected young man, tense from the pang of injuries suffered in a brush with US soldiers six months earlier.

In one excerpt, Khadr tugs at his hair, and pulls his orange prisoner suit over his head to show his interrogator his battle scars.

"I lost my eyes. I lost my feet. Everything," he says.

The US government alleges Khadr was the lone survivor of a four-hour US bombardment of an Al-Qaeda compound in Afghanistan in 2002, who rose from the rubble and killed a US sergeant with a grenade.

Khadr's US lawyer Lieutenant-Commander Bill Kuebler instead described him to a Canadian Commons committee as a "frightened, wounded, 15-year-old boy ... who sat slumped against a bush while a battle raged around him."

During the melee, Khadr was shot at least twice in the back by US soldiers and was about to be executed when another soldier intervened. He is said to have no vision in one eye, and sight in the other is deteriorating because of shrapnel embedded in the eye membrane.

"You look like you're doing well to me," the interrogator says in the video, his face blurred. "I'm not a doctor but I think you're getting good medical care."

"You say this is healthy?" Khadr asks. "I can't move my arm."

"No, you still have your eyes, and your feet are still at the ends of your legs," his interrogator replies, urging him to cooperate.

"You don't care about me," Khadr tells the interrogator. "Nobody cares about me."

An eight-minute video was initially posted on the Internet and a complete version was due to be issued later on Tuesday by Khadr's lawyers, following a Canadian court order.

In the video, apparently shot through the flaps of a ventilation shaft, Khadr is asked what he knows about Al-Qaeda and questioned about his Islamic faith.

At one point, an interrogator tries to calm Khadr, who is clearly distraught, saying he needs to get a "bite to eat" and adding: "I understand this is stressful."

When Khadr complains his compatriots have not helped his case, the interrogator replies: "We can't do anything for you."

The video shows no beating or physical abuse of Khadr.

But his Canadian lawyer Nathan Whitling said US authorities "manipulated Omar's environment outside the interrogation room before Canadian interrogations to induce cooperation within the interrogation room," citing documents released last week.

According to files from the Foreign Intelligence Division of Canada's Foreign Affairs department, Khadr was forcibly sleep deprived by his US captors in Guantanamo Bay to soften him up for questioning by Canadian officials.

"At three-hour intervals he is moved to another cell block, thus denying him uninterrupted sleep and a continued change of neighbors," said the files.

The documents also said that after Canadian officials met with Khadr in March 2004, he was due to be placed in isolation for three weeks before being interviewed again.

A Canadian federal judge studying the documents said Khadr's treatment violated international laws on human rights, and ordered them released to Khadr's lawyers last month.

Human rights groups have also demanded Khadr be released from Guantanamo, saying his age at the time of capture precludes any war crime proceeding.

"The treatment of Omar Khadr throughout his detention violates the USA's obligations under international law," said Amnesty International. "No one who was a child at the time of their alleged crime should be tried by military commissions."

Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper told reporters at a G8 summit in Japan earlier this month that he would not ask the US government to repatriate Khadr.

What do you expect? He was captured after killing a medic with a grenade. The video of this interrogation doesn't show any form of abuse or mistreatment. Are you suggesting he should simply be freed? On what grounds?

the evidence speaks for itself, hes 15, lone survivor in a compound, the americans come in, what do you think a teen in such a condition and experiance would do? go out laughing and wanting a hug from them? get a life will you, this is what you call the war on terrorism? keeping a 15 year old in jail for more than 6 years? well seeing that you americans and israelis have killed thousands and thousands of 15 year olds, its good you only kept this one in jail and spared him, there is hope! hopefully the next step will be that you stop oppressing 15 year olds and leave them alone PERIOD!

What do I expect....

1) Treat him while considering his age
2) Charge him under a legally and acceptable court / country
3) Respect the international court of law

At an age of 15-16 it was not his choice to fight or not to fight Americans, possibly the family environment drag him there, but the poor child should be handled with humanly

Treat him while considering his age? What does that even mean?

Charge him under a legally and acceptable court/country? What would be legally acceptable to you? Send him back to Canada and let him go of course. :rolleyes:

Respect the international court of law? What international court of law? Are you referring to the Geneva Convention? By all evidence he was treated much better than the Geneva Convention even requires.

Illegal practice. Those who think this boy’s ill treatment is justified or even funny should be ashamed of themselves. At the end of the day, in a civilized society, people should be charged and tried in court according to law, not just get kidnapped and tortured as we see now.

This is 100% Human Rights Violation The kid is 15 when he gets captured, and interrogated at age 16 when the video was shot. He has been in jail for 5 years.

I see a lot of ignorance in your talk. the kid was 15 when he went to guantanamo. more than 1/3 of his life has been spent there. while there he lost an eye, has been shot at, suffers breathing problems (he was shot near the lungs i blieve) has been beaten, etc. This is not humane treatment. if someone did that to an american, or even to an animal, to a dog for example, wouldn't animal rights be out there complaining??? and then thers weirdos like you who find this "humane treatment".
this boy is in guantanmo bay cuz he shot an american soldier. but don't forget the american soldier did kill three of his friends who wer with him. he just killed the american soldier in self-defence. if he dint kill the american soldier, the american soldier would've killed him. muder is allowed in self-defence even in international law
even if he was sent back to canada, he woudn't be free there. their laws arent soo lenient. but at least he would provided a more humane treatment in prison. perhaps his family might be allowed to see him, even if it is once a month. perhaps he may began to get treatment for the dozens of wounds he has suffered. perhaps. but unfortuantely the canadian government refuses to ask for their citizen. britain has done it, but canada is too afraid to make its ally "unhappy"; a humiliation on the part of the canadian government

Seeing that he's a Canadian citizen with no connection to Afghanistan, what was he doing there? A fair trial? How much of a trial was Daniel Pearl or Nick Berg Afforded. Under the Geneva Convictions he could have been executed on the spot as an enemy combatant. Don't blame the US for his predicament blame his nutty parents.

I keep hearing about torture and beatings, but there is nothing to suggest any of that occurred. What happens in the U.S. when an underage teen kills somebody? He is imprisoned. The length of time is the question. If he is sent back to Canada, the deal would involve a lengthy prison sentence.

As for the guy's injuries, those were sustained in Afghanistan. Not in Gitmo. He was given medical care. There is no way around this simple reality. He was captured on the battlefield after killing a Marine medic with a hand grenade. He knew exactly what he was doing and why he was in Afghanistan in the first place. Decisions have consequences. More than likely he will be sent back to Canadian custody and will spend time in prison. All things considered, he is lucky he isn't dead.

Do you even realize how absurd that sounds? "he just killed the american soldier in self-defence. if he dint kill the american soldier, the american soldier would've killed him." The guy is alive! After killing a medic he is lucky they didn't fill him with enough led to make a human pencil. More than likely he is alive because they saw his age and had mercy on him.

Way to go Keltoi! You've just completely destroyed the propaganda the U.S. military used in Iraq this past month. They caught two teen-agers and got them to "testify" that they were forced by Al Qaeda in Iraq to train as Mujahideen! The U.S. military thought this was "disgraceful" but apparently you seem to feel that anyone at any age is fair game. They couldn't possibly have been lured into combat, as these generals have claimed, for food and shelter. To quote you: They "knew exactly what they were doing."

As for your comment that nothing suggests these boys or men were tortured, there are quite a number of people who beg to differ, but you haven't SEEN anything. Like a good little monkey, you cover your ears and eyes... pity you can't cover your mouth too.

How does that have anything to do with the topic at hand? I'm sure Al-Qaeda is promoting teens to their cause. I agree it is disgraceful. How does that change the reality of what happens to them when they are captured as enemy combatants?

How do you know this boy wasn't lured too? Because he was caught with a gun? So were the two Iraqi boys! Yes, it's related. You can't say one is guilty without condemning them all. There is no picking and choosing between favorites. A boy is a boy. If he's considered fair game, they ALL are. Otherwise the statements contradict themselves... and you know me... I hate contradictions. I hate them in holy law and I hate them in military statistics.

That may be fine if the "boys" weren't involved in the deaths of U.S. soldiers. Once they cross that line they cannot simply be released with a pat on the back and a Coca-Cola. Don't kill them unless you have no other choice, but it isn't very smart to simply let them go either.

This is what I would like to end this case. Why the boy is in Guantanamo Bay where there is no law!

What is best is Canada demand him to be return back (like other countries) and do the needful law procedures according to Canadian judicial system.

There is law in Gitmo. Many detainees have been released even recently. The military tribunals are being very strict on rules of evidence. Most of those kept at Gitmo these days are the worst of the worst. People like Khalid Sheik Mohammed.

Ah, but you don't actually know what they Iraqi boys are responsible for. You're just assuming the operation they were caught in was their first. Let's be real here. There is most definately a contradiction. A picking and choosing based on what testimony (and I use that term loosely) is usable and which isn't. The situation for the Afghan boy isn't any different in nature from the Iraqi boys, but the rule of law was bent for one and not the other. Funny how that works out, but it's not your problem... it's mine, and I'll deal with it.

You're nuts if you think he can actually name one. The courts are secret and the names of those in charge are classified. In fact, Bush classifies everything that could cause his administration problems... he even classified the employee records of several "civilian" contractor firms via his sweetie in the State Department, Condoleeza Rice!

If he is innocent he should be sent home, if he is guilty he is a child soldier and should be treated as other child soldiers are treated, ie. rehabilitated humanely. Either way he shouldn't be staying in an illegal torture centre that only exists because of the huge field of landmines that surrounds it. Guantamano Bay should be given over to Castro. I bet even he has a better justice system than this.

Oh give me a break! They don't want the names published because it would change the death count Bush tricked the American public into believing and it would open the doors of investigation into several claims made by the U.S. military in Iraq. Then, of course, there is my personal favorite... Nick Berg. Bush made quite a display, describing him as this poor kid, just a civilian telecommunications specialist fresh out of college who only went to Iraq to look for some work. BS! And, if what you say is true, why on earth would they need to protect the life of a DEAD guy? They don't. His record is classified to protect something else.

Illegal according to who? And while I'm sure you are just being sarcastically dramatic, there has been no evidence of torture at Gitmo. Plenty of accusations from former detainees, but nothing the Red Cross or any other humanitarian body who has been given access to Gitmo can collaborate. Gitmo is one of those places were fact and fiction don't really matter, it is a symbol now. Would the detainees like it better in Pelican Bay? Maybe Leavenworth? The conditions at those public American prisons would make Gitmo feel like a resort and casino.

They've tried to have his trial 3 times but can't until his lawyers finish their appeals to the US Supreme Court and the Canadian Courts.

He should be THANKFUL he isn't dead? Have you even bothered to READ the statements made by those who were released from Gitmo? They most certainly wished they were killed and quite a number of them couldn't even think about having a life after their experience there. Their hatred for America became so cemented, all they could dream about was how to kill themselves and any Americans they could take with them, just like Abu Saleh al Ajmi.

Military documents previously released to AP show that al-Ajmi was "constantly in trouble" while in Guantanamo and held in disciplinary blocks during his detention. He also allegedly told officials in August 2004 that "he now is a jihadist, an enemy combatant, and that he will kill as many Americans as he possibly can." Tom Wilner, a lawyer who represented Kuwaiti prisoners at Guantanamo, said al-Ajmi had a broken arm during one of their meetings at the base in Cuba and that he alleged he had been injured by guards who interrupted him while he prayed.

They charged him with it, as they did the others who were taken. They don't know for certain who did it, but the charge is enough to hold them all.

'his nutty parents' for what?

whatd he do, invade a country and kill a load of people? Who are the terrorists here?
what has he and all those people in guatanamo there for? what is their crime? where is the proof against them? do the terrorists who are keeping them there even know why they are there? Do they deserve to be tortured? Do they deserve to be treated worse than animals?

And do you have proof his parents were friends with bin laden and sent him to help al qaeda? refer to my post above

The article in the other thread about this issue says so, and there are videos that have been found showing him playing with explosives that the family were using. Although the only evidence comes from US sources, I bet you don't have anything better.

I dont know why he was there,Izyan you,yourself dont know why his family took him there and nor does fishman know, we are told by the media that he went there to fight
We don't know whether American soldiers disrespected the Quran in Gitmo for definite either. But its pretty hard to know anything for definite, so we have to take the evidence into account. At the moment, the evidence says that his family went there to help al-Qaeda. This might be faked, and there might be other evidence against this that we don't know about. But since we don't know that yet we have to judge on what we do know.

I certainly haven't heard that, but perhaps. I'm sure there were plenty of eyewitnesses if that guy was a medic. Medics usually don't go into warzones by themselves.

Keltoi you honestly live under a closed world full of american propoganda. if you think there were/are no abuses done in gitmo, then ur a hopeless person who honestly needs to wake up. I pray Allah gives you hidaya

His father is dead, his one older bro is in a candian prison facing extradition to gitmo.

his other older bro was in gitmo, is out now. is not doing the right things. i think he even made a documentary or something about his life.

his older sister is "stuck" in canada. (her passport has been confiscated by the canadian gov't and has not been released to her, therefore she is "stuck")

this boy is a child soldier needs to be freed. he has faced ruthless tortures, inhumane treatment, has been shot at while in gitmo, his one eye was damaged while in afghanistan, but becuase of lack of medical treatment in gitmo, he has lost eye sight from that eye. his other eye has been damaged while in gitmo. i believe he was shot twice while in gitmo (once near the lungs) he has been used as a human mop to clean his own urine, excretment. he has faced and perhaps continues to face other such ruthless tortures. dont tell me this is "humane treatment".
like i said, the canadian government will most probably let him stay in gitmo becuase the current canadian conservative gov't worships the US and wont do anything against their will.

its interesting how the soldier who he supposedly killd (no evidcne to prove it yet) is often called a medic.

Look margaret was with ronald reagan and she backed his ideas that the soviets were to be fought and defeated so therefore they used the mujahideen to do all the dirty work while they funded them.. so technically she was a supporter

Americans and Nato forces now fight aganst Talebans, not Mujahedeens.They are two different groups if im not mistaken. Didint talebans and mujahedeens fight in 90's about power in Afghanistan?
It is sad but true but countries have their national interests and they often make alliances with "enemies of their enemies". Just like USA supported mujahedeens in their fight against Soviet Union.
The same way Iran and Syria make buisness with Putin's Russia which killed 100 000 muslims in Chechenia and whole muslim world makes buisness with China which kills muslim Uighurs since dozens of years.

So where are the mujahideen now, when i say mujahideen i am talking about ayman azawahri,osama and many others, they support the taleban and those who were part of the mujahideen in the eiighties and nineties are a part of the taleban now! thats what the media tells us

I think it is a stretch to characterize it as a place created "for muslim torture only." It is a place to hold and interrogate enemy combatants. Those enemies come from predominantly Muslim countries. If we were at war in the Congo or Zimbabwe, it would be black detainees.

Not exactlly, the motive behind the Soviet and American invasions are different. The Soviets invaded for expansion reasons. America invade because of 9/11. Besides the Mujahdeen the US supported became the Northern Alliance not al-queda or the Taliban. When the US was supplying the Mujahdeen through Pakistan Bin Laden was in Sudan.

As reported in Al-Bukhari, Abu Hurairah narrated that Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "No fatigue, nor disease, nor sorrow, nor sadness, nor hurt, nor distress befalls a Muslim, even if it were the prick he receives from a thorn, but that Allah expiates some of his sins for that."

It isn't for torture of anyone. Waterboarding and other methods were used on Khalid Sheik Mohammed and I'm sure others, but the use of the word torture is for shock value and drama. Torture was Abu Ghraib, and the U.S. deserves to be blamed and held accountable for that. Gitmo is a detention facility for enemy combatants. The same kind of place used to house German POWs in WWII. Although legally we can't call them POWs because they don't represent a nation state.

Yes, if the world lived by the example of Jesus Christ there wouldn't be wars to begin with. As for being self-righteous, hateful, and bigoted, I find that remark to be a little hypocritical.

Furthermore, child soldiers in Africa and elsewhere aren't responsible for the death of a member of the U.S. military during war time. The fact that he was young is probably the only reason he is still alive. Rehabilitation should be a goal obviously, and that will happen after his sentencing.

You're wasting your breath trying to have discussions like this with Keltoi. It doesn't matter what the Muslims said about Abu Ghraib, it was disqualified as "propaganda" stories and no one took it seriously until well AFTER the proof was leaked over the internet. Even so, Keltoi would say it's a "rare" occurance that doesn't matter in light of what Muslims do to themselves. He ALWAYS justifies this crap. The Red Cross and other qualified organizations can come foward too, but it means NOTHING to him. He has all the answers he needs, so I'm going to give you some good advice.

Don't waste your time arguing to a brick wall. For all the time and energy you wasted here debating with this brick wall, you could have been writing letters to some of these groups asking them what you can do to help THEIR cause. Pick and choose your battles more carefully so you can be sure your energy goes to situations you can change. There are tons of American groups who oppose Gitmo and you should be looking them up online and writing THEM! You do NOT need Keltois approval and you'll never get it no matter what you say, so just go over his head.

See the problem here is that war is horrible. Yeah people are going to get killed. As Izyan pointed out, muslims have killed hundreds of thousands of fellow muslims. If a militant tries to IED a US/Nato patrol and wipes out a bunch of muslims, yeah that's collateral damage. In war that happens.

The problem I have is the blind eye to the fact that most of the muslims killed by muslims were sectarian torture and killing. These people were kidnapped, tortured and killed. We're still finding mass graves where Alqueda in Iraq and other militant organization dumped their victims. This is as far from collateral damage as you can get and it far outweighs the number of collateral damage.

That is not part of war. That is what will happen when they are in control. Barbers in Baghdad were being shot. Unveiled women in Basra where being kidnapped tortured and killed. University professors slaughtered. You tell me that's war?

What happens when US soldiers push the militants out? Do the US soldiers start lining up thousands and thousands of people to be shot? No, people are allowed to rebuild their lives.

Yes war is horrible and people get killed, but its what your fighting for that counts.

Here's what's happens when the Taliban are in control.

They still haven't figured out how to put out the fires in the west or deal with the mosquitoes that have enjoyed the floods in the heart-land... tiny insects that carry EEE and West Nile Virus. They can take all the oil they want, but they won't ENJOY a drop of it.

And, it's not even summer time yet. :shade:

I hope Americans will do the same.

I should know better than to let Keltoi provoke me to anger. Anger never solved anything. Standing up and being counted for a just cause CAN effect positive change.
Every letter counts. You might not think so, but if everone writes one, it will take a fleet of trucks to deliver them! There are also quite a number of cracks in the legal foundation ~ and I have no doubt that horrible place will come down like a house of cards.... just have to pull out the correct brick.

Write your heart out sis. Maybe try writing the letter a few times, so it comes out perfectly. You can do this.
