Today’s Video: Interrogation at Gitmo

The first video of an interrogation of a detainee at the U.S. military prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba was released earlier today. The secretly filmed tape showed a then sixteen-year-old Omar Khadr being questioned over his alleged killing of a U.S. soldier in Afghanistan in 2002. The video was released by petition of his lawyers in Canada, one of whom said that his countrymen “will be outraged to see the callous and disgraceful treatment of" Khadr.

In the brief clip below, a distraught Khadr complained of being tortured and shows supposed wounds on his body. Agents reply by dismissing his claims (“I'm not a doctor, but I think you're getting good medical care”) and subsequently try to calm him before leaving the interrogation room:
