| I was not there as an interrogator. | 0:02 | |
| I am not an interrogator. | 0:06 | |
| I was not trained as an interrogator | 0:07 | |
| but I wanted to talk to detainees at random, | 0:10 | |
| to know how they became Jihadist, | 0:15 | |
| especially younger people. | 0:18 | |
| I would ask, for instance, one kid, | 0:20 | |
| I said, "Well, did you do Jihad in high school?" | 0:22 | |
| He said, excuse my French, hell no. | 0:25 | |

| They were caught in the drag knit net. | 1:04 | |
| And frankly had the United States not paid, | 1:07 | |
| the Pakistanis for every guy they got, | 1:10 | |
| most of them would not have been there. | 1:14 | |
| And in fact, in the beginning, | 1:16 | |
