Democracy Now!
A MUST WATCH!
"On the 11th anniversary of Guantánamo Bay’s use as a prison for foreign
detainees, we air a Democracy Now! exclusive interview with Sami al-Hajj, the
only journalist held at Guantánamo. The Al Jazeera cameraman was arrested in
Pakistan in December of 2001 while traveling to Afghanistan on a work
assignment. Held for six years without charge, al-Hajj was repeatedly tortured,
hooded, attacked by dogs and hung from a ceiling. Interrogators questioned him
over 100 times about whether Al Jazeera was a front for al-Qaeda. In January
2007, he began a hunger strike that lasted 438 days until his release in May
2008. Now the head of Al Jazeera’s human rights and public liberties desk,
al-Hajj sits down for a rare interview with Democracy Now! host Amy Goodman in
Doha, Qatar......"
