-	Nobody wants them really,	0:00
	nobody wants them.	0:05
	The reports out of Guantanamo aren't necessarily good	0:06
	at the moment in terms of their mental capacity	0:09
	their health condition.	0:13
	There's the whole narrative	0:15
	about former Guantanamo Bay detainees	0:17
	going back into the fray.	0:20
	So the idea is that the U.S. government	0:23
	requests that any resettlement host country	0:25
	has to do certain things	0:29
	to ensure that that won't happen.	0:31
	I mean it's very, very complex,	0:32
	the reasons why people don't want these detainees.	0:34
	And I don't think	0:40
	that the U.S. government helps	0:42
	by not having taken any detainees itself.	0:45
	I mean, you can see the deep, deep hypocrisy	0:49
	in this situation, that the U.S. government goes	0:53
	to all these other governments	0:56
	and says, "Take what we have damaged." Yeah.	0:57
	"Take these damaged people, and we'll give you money.	1:02
	We'll give you this kind of support.	1:06
	But, in addition to taking them, integrating them	1:09
	bringing their families,	1:11
	giving them social and psychological care	1:12
	for their wellbeing,	1:15
	you need to surveil them.	1:16
	So that they don't run off to Syria,	1:18
	or they don't run off to Iraq,	1:21
	or they don't go here or there,	1:24
	or go to Yemen, or do whatever it is	1:26
	that is going to put them back in the fray."	1:29
	I mean, who would want that?	1:31
