-	They correctly believed the judicial process	0:00
	to be a shell game, one that was not going to result	0:04
	in the release of many people.	0:08
	And in that, they were entirely correct.	0:10
	I tended to agree with them, actually, I said listen,	0:11
	I am actually not here to talk to you about filing motions.	0:14
	I am here to talk to you about humanizing you	0:16
	and how we can do that together.	0:20
	But they still, if you have been forgotten and closed off	0:22
	from the world for many, many years then it takes time	0:25
	to convince somebody, of course that is right.	0:28
	But, I always do remember	0:33
	and when I have new whipper snapper attorneys here	0:35
	who are really excited and they've got the law	0:37
	and they are going to lawyer something and they are going	0:39
	to get people out by lawyering. I ask them	0:40
	to guess how many of reprieves clients,	0:43
	because we have had probably over 60 now released	0:46
	from Guantanamo over the years.	0:49
	I ask them to guess how many were freed because of the final	0:50
	order of a judge. And they go, I don't know.	0:53
	They clearly know the answers is going to be low	0:57
	and so they say uh, 20, um 10, five? I'm like no,	0:59
	it is one. So one of our clients was ordered released	1:06
	by Judge Richard Leon at the beginning of 2009.	1:10
	Mohammed El-Gharani who was taken to Guantanamo	1:14
	at the age of 14.	1:16
	Everybody else, I'm not saying the court had no role,	1:17
	the court is the reason the lawyers can go	1:19
	in the first place.	1:21
	But everybody else was released as a result	1:22
	of political imperatives.	1:24
