First Guantanamo Bay Interrogation Video Released
Filmed secretly through a ventilation shaft, the video shows a 16-year-old Canadian citizen, Omar Khadr, being questioned by Canadian Security Intelligence Service agents in 2003 about events leading up to his capture by US forces. The teenage was accused of throwing a grenade that killed a US soldier in Afghanistan in 2002. The footage was made public by Khadr's lawyers following a Supreme Court ruling in May that the Canadian authorities had to hand over key evidence against him to allow a full defense of the charges he is facing. Now 21, Khadr faces multiple terrorism-related charges. BBC story and video link. [JH]

This makes me want to scream. Or something worse.
Thank you for posting this. Every citizen of every country involved with Guantanamo should be deeply ashamed.
