This episode takes us to the very heart of America's War on Terror: Guantanamo Bay. Julian sits down with a former Gitmo prisoner and a rights campaigner, both fighting for those still trapped behind the wire. Ten years ago the war on terror prompted the opening of the facility. Now, more than three years after President Obama ordered its closure, the Guantanamo Bay detention camp remains with us. Moazzam Begg is a former inmate. During his imprisonment, he signed a forced confession, admitting he "was armed and prepared to fight alongside the Taliban and Al Qaeda against the US,", but only after being hog-tied and beaten, as he listened "to the sound of a woman screaming next door I'm told or am led to believe is my wife". Asim Qureshi operates a human rights organization with the sole aim of raising awareness of the plight of prisoners remaining in Guantanamo Bay. Together, both men discuss the plight of Muslims in the post 9/11 world, the thin line between terror and self-defense, and Begg's belief that Obama has ushered in an era where "extra-judicial killing" has replaced "extra-judicial detention."Author: AssangeWorldTomorrow

metanoia-films.org This documentary is about the foreign policy of the United States. It is the second of three parts. It demonstrates the importance of the political economy, the Mafia principle, propaganda, ideology, violence and force. It documents and explains how the policy is based on the interest of major corporations and a tiny elite to increase profits and the United States governments own interests in maintaining and expanding it's imperialistic influence. Inside the United States this has been made possible with a propaganda of fear for the horrible enemies like the Soviet Union, Communists and so on and a love for "free markets", "democracy", "freedom" and so on. Externally (and increasingly internally) this has caused massive poverty and suffering, genocide, war, coups, crushed unions and popular movements and environmental destruction.

The Obama administration has the worst track record when it comes to prosecuting whistleblowers. Obama once claimed he'd work hard to have a transparent government, but many have faced retaliation for revealing controversial government information. Sibel Edmonds, who is a whistleblower, waited 340 days for FBI clearance of her memoir but finally released it on her own. Edmonds, founder of the National Security Whistleblowers Coalition, joins us for more. Like us and/or follow us: twitter.com www.facebook.com
