- | Funny story is that one Guantanamo detainee | 0:00 |
named Jumah Al Dossari, I think, | 0:04 | |
who it's very sad, although ultimately released, | 0:06 | |
had attempted suicide about several times. | 0:09 | |
And his lawyer, Josh Colangelo Bryan, | 0:12 | |
actually, I think what Jumah had asked him | 0:15 | |
at one of their first meetings said, "Are you Jewish?" | 0:18 | |
And I think Josh had gotten a little bit nervous about that | 0:20 | |
and was hoping it wasn't going to be | 0:25 | |
some kind of anti-Semitic comment. | 0:27 | |
He would still represent Jumah but it does collar things | 0:30 | |
if your clients have those kinds of biases | 0:33 | |
and actually Josh said, "No, actually I'm not." | 0:38 | |
And it was just a popular name in the neighborhood. | 0:42 | |
And Jumah said, "Well, oh, that's too bad. | 0:44 | |
I hear all the best lawyers are Jewish." | 0:48 |
