1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.840
<v ->We started off in Guantanamo</v>

2
00:00:02.840 --> 00:00:06.970
and on a C-130 flew from Guantanamo

3
00:00:06.970 --> 00:00:11.970
to Iraq, Afghanistan and back to Turkey,

4
00:00:12.600 --> 00:00:14.470
had four days downtime in Turkey,

5
00:00:14.470 --> 00:00:17.640
went to Germany and then came to Virginia.

6
00:00:17.640 --> 00:00:19.763
And then, back to Guantanamo.

7
00:00:21.820 --> 00:00:23.660
A C-130 is a huge airplane.

8
00:00:23.660 --> 00:00:25.200
It's two-stories.

9
00:00:25.200 --> 00:00:26.910
There's individuals up in the top,

10
00:00:26.910 --> 00:00:28.140
they were trained by the Air Force,

11
00:00:28.140 --> 00:00:30.323
the only individuals who had guns.

12
00:00:31.440 --> 00:00:34.360
They were stationed up above, constantly just surveying

13
00:00:34.360 --> 00:00:36.680
back and forth between the detainees.

14
00:00:36.680 --> 00:00:38.610
And if any type of suspicious movement would happen

15
00:00:38.610 --> 00:00:40.150
or if the detainee got free or whatnot,

16
00:00:40.150 --> 00:00:42.600
they were the only individuals who could respond to it.

17
00:00:42.600 --> 00:00:45.730
And obviously, their response would be to shoot.

18
00:00:45.730 --> 00:00:46.703
Shoot upon site.

19
00:00:47.930 --> 00:00:51.050
The detainees, they were wearing denim suits,

20
00:00:51.050 --> 00:00:56.050
had gloves or not gloves, had goggles over their eyes,

21
00:00:56.350 --> 00:00:59.450
ear muffs and had gloves on.

22
00:00:59.450 --> 00:01:02.070
There was two restrooms designated for the detainees

23
00:01:02.070 --> 00:01:05.080
and two restrooms designated for the guards.

24
00:01:05.080 --> 00:01:07.040
What was kind of interesting was when we'd let them

25
00:01:07.040 --> 00:01:09.440
use the restroom, we wouldn't take the shackles off.

26
00:01:09.440 --> 00:01:11.660
So I can only imagine if they had to use the restroom

27
00:01:11.660 --> 00:01:13.060
during that flight.

28
00:01:13.060 --> 00:01:15.960
They probably had a very uncomfortable remainder of hours.
