The Interrogation of Detainee 63
My third show for The Connection covered a recent report detailing the interrogation of the alleged "20th hijacker" at Guantanamo Bay:
It seems every day brings some new revelation about how the U.S. is treating prisoners in its "War on Terror."
At first blush, the "interrogation log" from Guantanamo published this week in Time Magazine might sound like more of the same. We have read stories about sleep deprivation, sexual humiliation, and forced standing before. But this time it's different. The government disavowed the abuses at Abu Ghraib. But in this case, the Pentagon says the interrogation of Mohammed al-Qhatani falls within accepted U.S. policy.
The Pentagon also claims that al-Qhatani was supposed to be the 20th hijacker and therefore says his treatment fits his profile as a "high-value" prisoner. Others say it goes against the Administration's promise of "humane" treatment for all.
Listen to the show here. I'll be back at the Connection starting in July, so look for more updates then.
I've also written several new Rotten Library entries, including some fun topics that really interested me when writing them. Once they're posted, I will list them here as usual.
