| - | Of course I believe everything | 0:00 |
| have positive and negative. | 0:02 | |
| The positive things, | 0:06 | |
| and this also give me courage inside Guantanamo, | 0:10 | |
| I asked myself, | 0:14 | |
| "I'm journalist. | 0:16 | |
| I may be lucky to be inside place | 0:18 | |
| no journalist, unless me, | 0:22 | |
| to be there," | 0:24 | |
| because you know in Guantanamo, | 0:26 | |
| it's not allowed for any journalist to come. | 0:27 | |
| Even as the people who are allowed for them, | 0:30 | |
| they didn't allow for them to talk to detainees. | 0:34 | |
| But me, I was amongst the detainees, | 0:37 | |
| and I saw whatever going on. | 0:41 | |
| This is good chance for me. | 0:44 | |
| And the second things, | 0:47 | |
| I believe in the message of journalists | 0:48 | |
| and my work. | 0:51 | |
| I believe what I'm doing, a journalist, | 0:52 | |
| but during my life in Guantanamo, | 0:57 | |
| I believe in another angles | 1:00 | |
| that human rights, | 1:03 | |
| about liberty, about such things, | 1:06 | |
| about organization working in human rights. | 1:08 | |
| Those people, we should help them, | 1:12 | |
| by light them and put them, | 1:14 | |
| put about their active, | 1:18 | |
| about that to cooperate with them between journalists. | 1:21 | |
| That is why I'm very glad to see Al Jazeera | 1:26 | |
| establishing a section or administration | 1:30 | |
| specializing in human right and public liberty, | 1:34 | |
| and with me in head of that section. | 1:38 | |
| I think this is very active | 1:42 | |
| how something benefit from Guantanamo | 1:46 | |
| Same thing Guantanamo is a chance for me | 1:51 | |
| to think about my life. | 1:54 | |
| It is chance for me to think about | 1:58 | |
| and to | 2:01 | |
| see people who are relative with me, | 2:03 | |
| how they love me and like that. | 2:06 | |
| And also it is good chance for me is, | 2:09 | |
| I met very bad people, | 2:12 | |
| soldiers, they torture us, | 2:15 | |
| and at same times, | 2:16 | |
| I met Clive Stafford Smith. | 2:18 | |
| He's not from my country, | 2:20 | |
| or my language, or from my religions, | 2:23 | |
| but he came to help me, | 2:26 | |
| traveled a thousand kilometers. | 2:28 | |
| He doesn't get any money, | 2:30 | |
| but he came to help me. | 2:32 | |
| This also tell me | 2:34 | |
| not all the people in USA are bad. | 2:36 | |
| Some of them are very good, | 2:40 | |
| and I should keep close to them. | 2:43 |
