Here's a video of a suspected terrorist detained in the infamous Guantanamo Bay "detention facility" being interrogated by intelligence personnel.
the editing of the video makes it hard to really figure out the general mood of the interrogation or even how it went from small-talk to sob-story striptease (hehe). But a few questions come to mind given the scant info regarding this report:
I have to ask, what was the intention of releasing this video? Sympathy, perhaps? Is it working? so far the comments section on youtube is pretty divisive - some expressing outrage while others requesting the "Bauer Method" (as in Jack Bauer of 24) be applied on this hapless kid...
If he's 15 years old, shouldn't he be considered a child soldier? Aren't child combatants covered by an international agreement or a convention somewhere? Hello, UN...?
What exactly was his alleged role as a supposed member of a terrorist group? Maybe we'll have to wait for the court case to shed light on this...
How is he being treated inside the the Gitmo? I do hope that he's faring better than our own juvenile detainees here in the Philippines who often have to share space with hardened criminals. I imagine this boy sharing a bunk with a hardened Islamic fighter...Huwag po! Huwag po! hahaha
Seriously though, we've heard a lot of talk and allegations regarding the treatment of SUSPECTS inside Guantanamo. Clearly, this is no place for a child...
