00:00:00.859 --> 00:00:03.270
(pencil scribbles)

2
00:00:03.270 --> 00:00:08.270
<v ->They are damaged with post-traumatic stress disorder,</v>

3
00:00:09.050 --> 00:00:10.183
with depression.

4
00:00:11.070 --> 00:00:12.910
They've had social isolation.

5
00:00:12.910 --> 00:00:16.793
They don't know how to integrate with people.

6
00:00:17.660 --> 00:00:20.467
They've lost their ability to work,

7
00:00:20.467 --> 00:00:23.870
just to even function.

8
00:00:23.870 --> 00:00:28.420
So in my experience, I would say

9
00:00:28.420 --> 00:00:31.450
that people released from Guantanamo need

10
00:00:31.450 --> 00:00:34.990
a rehabilitation program,

11
00:00:34.990 --> 00:00:37.840
a comprehensive rehabilitation program.

12
00:00:37.840 --> 00:00:42.840
And that would include not only mental health treatment

13
00:00:44.340 --> 00:00:47.980
and counseling, it would include family counseling

14
00:00:47.980 --> 00:00:50.690
so family members can learn to work together.

15
00:00:50.690 --> 00:00:54.180
It would include job training and reintegration

16
00:00:54.180 --> 00:00:58.310
into society and whatever else is necessary

17
00:00:58.310 --> 00:01:00.980
to a specific situation.

18
00:01:00.980 --> 00:01:02.410
And I did see something like that

19
00:01:02.410 --> 00:01:06.340
in Saudi Arabia of all places.

20
00:01:06.340 --> 00:01:09.700
Their terrorist rehabilitation program;

21
00:01:09.700 --> 00:01:12.530
they've had 123 people from Guantanamo go

22
00:01:12.530 --> 00:01:17.330
through it already, and it's a holistic approach

23
00:01:17.330 --> 00:01:20.750
where they take these men and put them

24
00:01:20.750 --> 00:01:22.770
in this resort like area.

25
00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:24.330
I mean it's confined,

26
00:01:24.330 --> 00:01:26.610
but it's a beautiful resort like area.

27
00:01:26.610 --> 00:01:29.060
And they provide religious counseling,

28
00:01:29.060 --> 00:01:32.920
religious education, mental health,

29
00:01:32.920 --> 00:01:36.120
medical care, job training.

30
00:01:36.120 --> 00:01:38.730
They're allowed to take university courses,

31
00:01:38.730 --> 00:01:40.350
and they do family counseling.

32
00:01:40.350 --> 00:01:43.770
They have families come in and then help them in.

33
00:01:43.770 --> 00:01:45.930
So that kind of holistic approach I think is

34
00:01:45.930 --> 00:01:48.433
what is necessary to help these men recover.
