- | We did have an advantage because we spoke English | 0:00 |
but usually very small. | 0:02 | |
Interviewer | What advantage? | 0:04 |
- | We could communicate with the soldiers. | 0:05 |
There is a very small minority of them | 0:09 | |
that would sympathize with what was happening. | 0:11 | |
There was one guy, the very first that actually... | 0:13 | |
He was in Camp X-Ray and he said to me, | 0:20 | |
"What's happening to you is bad. | 0:24 | |
What happened in America is bad as well, | 0:27 | |
but two wrongs don't make a right. | 0:29 | |
And there's nothing I can do to help you, yeah? | 0:32 | |
But just to let you know, that there's some people | 0:35 | |
that sympathize for what's happening to you." | 0:39 | |
And there was one guy in Camp Delta, he said to me that, | 0:41 | |
"I'm really sorry for what's happening to you | 0:44 | |
but there's nothing I can do. | 0:48 | |
If I do anything, I'll end up in the cell next you. | 0:50 | |
But I apologize for what my country has done to you, | 0:53 | |
but I'm a soldier here and I have to follow rules." | 0:56 | |
Interviewer | So some of the guards were nice to you? | 0:59 |
- | Because there's people that, | 1:02 |
when you were on the Earth Team, | 1:04 | |
you didn't have a choice to go on there. | 1:06 | |
And every time that someone got earthed, it was filmed. | 1:10 | |
So I think they were made to be aggressive, | 1:14 | |
if they weren't, they'd probably get punished for them. | 1:18 | |
And there's some people that were on the Earth Team, | 1:20 | |
after they've earthed someone, | 1:22 | |
they'd come back and apologize to them. | 1:23 |
