Summary

Andy Worthington is back to discuss what’s happening down at Guantanamo Bay. This time there is a positive development. A judge has ruled that statements gathered from the so-called “Clean Team” interrogations of Abd al-Rahim al-Nashiri cannot be used against him. Scott gives some background on what the “Clean Team” interrogations were before the two discuss the specifics of al-Nashiri’s situation. They also detail how he was tortured. Finally, Worthington explains the status of the men who remain at Guantanamo. Discussed on the show: “Trial Judge Destroys Guantánamo’s Military Commissions, Rules That “Clean Team” Interrogations Cannot Undo the Effects of Torture” (Close Guantanamo) The Convenient Terrorist by John Kiriakou and Joseph Hickman Andy Worthington is the author of Guantanamo Files and the director of “Outside the Law: Stories from Guantanamo.” Read his work at the Future of Freedom Foundation and AndyWorthington.co.uk and follow him on Twitter @GuantanamoAndy.
