“It affected me, but I still went ahead and just, you know, compiled what I needed to compile. I guess people don't want to make waves. They just want to do their time, have their tour of duty over, and go home. People that did make those waves or did push back, they didn't stay there long. They'd be sent back to the States. They wouldn't rise in the ranks.”

“We can't have acquittals. We've been holding these guys for years. How are we going to explain to the world why we've been keeping these guys all these years if they're acquitted? No. We can't have acquittals. We've got to have convictions.”

“The detainee gets a one-page summary of the allegations against him before he goes to the hearings. That's all he gets. The PRB says, "We're not telling you to confess to things that you did not do". But the practical outcome is the same. If he reads it over and says, "That's all untrue," the detainee is accused of a "lack of contrition. They're accused of making false statements because they're denying the allegations. This is not a legal system used anywhere else: It was made up just for Guantanamo by the Obama administration.”
