00:00:00.760 --> 00:00:02.663
<v ->Nobody wants them really,</v>

2
00:00:05.180 --> 00:00:06.950
nobody wants them.

3
00:00:06.950 --> 00:00:09.500
The reports out of Guantanamo aren't necessarily good

4
00:00:09.500 --> 00:00:13.430
at the moment in terms of their mental capacity

5
00:00:13.430 --> 00:00:15.860
their health condition.

6
00:00:15.860 --> 00:00:17.510
There's the whole narrative

7
00:00:17.510 --> 00:00:20.680
about former Guantanamo Bay detainees

8
00:00:20.680 --> 00:00:23.130
going back into the fray.

9
00:00:23.130 --> 00:00:25.330
So the idea is that the U.S. government

10
00:00:25.330 --> 00:00:29.580
requests that any resettlement host country

11
00:00:29.580 --> 00:00:31.080
has to do certain things

12
00:00:31.080 --> 00:00:32.930
to ensure that that won't happen.

13
00:00:32.930 --> 00:00:34.930
I mean it's very, very complex,

14
00:00:34.930 --> 00:00:38.943
the reasons why people don't want these detainees.

15
00:00:40.390 --> 00:00:42.670
And I don't think

16
00:00:42.670 --> 00:00:45.250
that the U.S. government helps

17
00:00:45.250 --> 00:00:49.640
by not having taken any detainees itself.

18
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:52.510
I mean, you can see the deep, deep hypocrisy

19
00:00:53.410 --> 00:00:56.010
in this situation, that the U.S. government goes

20
00:00:56.010 --> 00:00:57.960
to all these other governments

21
00:00:57.960 --> 00:01:02.247
and says, "Take what we have damaged." Yeah.

22
00:01:02.247 --> 00:01:06.517
"Take these damaged people, and we'll give you money.

23
00:01:06.517 --> 00:01:09.130
We'll give you this kind of support.

24
00:01:09.130 --> 00:01:11.990
But, in addition to taking them, integrating them

25
00:01:11.990 --> 00:01:12.980
bringing their families,

26
00:01:12.980 --> 00:01:15.110
giving them social and psychological care

27
00:01:15.110 --> 00:01:16.700
for their wellbeing,

28
00:01:16.700 --> 00:01:18.570
you need to surveil them.

29
00:01:18.570 --> 00:01:21.700
So that they don't run off to Syria,

30
00:01:21.700 --> 00:01:24.780
or they don't run off to Iraq,

31
00:01:24.780 --> 00:01:26.370
or they don't go here or there,

32
00:01:26.370 --> 00:01:29.130
or go to Yemen, or do whatever it is

33
00:01:29.130 --> 00:01:31.300
that is going to put them back in the fray."

34
00:01:31.300 --> 00:01:32.700
I mean, who would want that?
