Lawyers have released a video showing the interrogation at Guantanamo of the youngest detainee in the "war on terror", a tearful Canadian teenager accused of killing a US soldier in Afghanistan.

The video was released by attorneys for terror suspect Omar Khadr, who is shown being questioned by Canadian Security Intelligence Service (CSIS) agents in February, 2003 at the US-run prison in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, according to the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation.

The footage covers seven and a half hours of questioning over three days for Khadr, who was just 15 years old when he was captured in Afghanistan in 2002.

A 10-minute tape was initially posted on the internet and a complete version was due to be issued later on Tuesday by Khadr's lawyers, following Canadian court orders.

In the tape, apparently shot through the flaps of a ventilation shaft, Khadr is asked what he knows about Al Qaeda and questioned about his Islamic faith.

At times, he weeps uncontrollably and pulls at his hair in despair.

Damn right it's depressing shodan. It's well fucked up!

It was also covered on the BBC 6pm news... the following is an excerpt from the bit they showed on TV:

Omar's is hand covering his face, lifts up his shirt

'Omar: My arms and all of these.. its healthy?. I requested many over a long time.. [sobbing[

Man: I'm not a doctor but I think you're getting good medical care

Omar: Well, I'm not, you're not here. [cries] I lost my eye. I lost my feet and everything

Man: No you still have your eyes and our feet are still at the end of your legs you know. Look, i want to take a few minutes, I want you to get your self together, relax a bit have a bite to eat.. have a start again. I understand this is stressful but by using this as a strategy to talk to us it's not gonna be any more helpful

Man: We've got a limited amount of time and we've heard this story before'

The depths of evil. Do they have no limits? Apparently not. What next, new born babies interned at Guantanamo for making gurgling sounds that sound like incitement to jihad?

Don't underestimate how thoroughly evil the NWO henchmen are... absolute scum. Any excuse, victimise the Muslims (September the 11th etc.), then the masses will accept the torture of them...

Sick.
