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 |
