“Help me!” cries 16-yr-old Khadr as interrogators grill him

Up date and correction–

Seems the BBC did a better job of reporting than the Canadian press. What the boy really kept repeating was, “Kill me! Kill me!”

The first videotape of then-16-yr-old Omar Khadr being interrogated by Canadian authorities at Guantánamo was released today:
Omar Khadr: The interrogation

Said one of Kadr’s attorneys, Dennis Edney:

He was deprived of sleep by being removed from his cell and to another cell every three hours on a 24-hour basis for three weeks solid, followed by three weeks of deep solitary confinement.

Khadr shows his inquisitors his wounds, tells them he’s lost his eyesight and the use of his feet…

During the 10-minute video of his questioning in Guantanamo a year later, he can be seen crying, his face buried in his hands, and pulling at his hair. He can be heard repeatedly chanting: “Help me.”
