- | The magician, Donald Rumsfeld told them | 0:02 |
don't worry about it. | 0:06 | |
Go to bed early, sleep silently. | 0:07 | |
You're safe. | 0:09 | |
We got the bad guys. | 0:10 | |
We're looking after you. | 0:11 | |
Now, obviously, you know, you can only do that | 0:15 | |
when there's a certain racist narrative. | 0:20 | |
It must be said. | 0:22 | |
Because the people at Guantanamo | 0:24 | |
are all Muslims. | 0:27 | |
Actually it's a little aside, but I will say it | 0:28 | |
there was an Iranian well Digger | 0:31 | |
who was held at Guantanamo. | 0:35 | |
They released him in about 2005. | 0:37 | |
Who, who, who said | 0:39 | |
that he'd crossed the border to get some hashish | 0:40 | |
and who claimed to be a Catholic | 0:43 | |
and which may | 0:48 | |
which may actually be true. | 0:48 | |
And he may be the only non Muslim to have been | 0:50 | |
held the Guantanamo, but it's a prison full of Muslims. | 0:52 | |
So let's imagine | 0:56 | |
that somebody has a prison where the law doesn't apply | 0:58 | |
and it's holding Christians or it's holding Jews. | 1:01 | |
How could that be acceptable? | 1:04 | |
It could not be acceptable. | 1:06 | |
So there's a fundamental racism built into it. | 1:08 |
