-	They are damaged with post-traumatic stress disorder,	0:03
	with depression.	0:09
	They've had social isolation.	0:11
	They don't know how to integrate with people.	0:12
	They've lost their ability to work,	0:17
	just to even function.	0:20
	So in my experience, I would say	0:23
	that people released from Guantanamo need	0:28
	a rehabilitation program,	0:31
	a comprehensive rehabilitation program.	0:34
	And that would include not only mental health treatment	0:37
	and counseling, it would include family counseling	0:44
	so family members can learn to work together.	0:47
	It would include job training and reintegration	0:50
	into society and whatever else is necessary	0:54
	to a specific situation.	0:58
	And I did see something like that	1:00
	in Saudi Arabia of all places.	1:02
	Their terrorist rehabilitation program;	1:06
	they've had 123 people from Guantanamo go	1:09
	through it already, and it's a holistic approach	1:12
	where they take these men and put them	1:17
	in this resort like area.	1:20
	I mean it's confined,	1:22
	but it's a beautiful resort like area.	1:24
	And they provide religious counseling,	1:26
	religious education, mental health,	1:29
	medical care, job training.	1:32
	They're allowed to take university courses,	1:36
	and they do family counseling.	1:38
	They have families come in and then help them in.	1:40
	So that kind of holistic approach I think is	1:43
	what is necessary to help these men recover.	1:45
