00:40 All hell broke loose.
00:42 >> Missile barrage lands on Afghanistan.

01:19 including they took a razor blade to his [BLEEP]
01:22 >> We do not torture.
01:23 We do not render to countries that torture.

01:33 >> This is so much bigger than just Binyam.
01:35 >> How do you investigate the world's biggest intelligence agency?
01:38 How could you track what had happened to these prisoners?
01:40 Find all the planes that went to Guantanamo.

01:47 [MUSIC]
01:50 >> It was a different type of fire in me, not in my name.

02:18 I mean, will you ever be hired as a military lawyer again?
02:21 >> Well, I'm doing my job as a lawyer.
