MICHELL SHEPHARD: Yeah, he had been interrogated many, many times. Some of the harshest interrogation he had was for the first 90 days when he was held at Bagram before he was transferred to Guantánamo. At the time, he was severely wounded. We heard, during his hearing in Guantánamo, that he had been shackled and handcuffed to a stretcher during the interrogations because he couldn’t sit up. When he was transferred to Guantánamo, he was given some of the techniques that they used there, including what they call the frequent flyer program — which was the sleep deprivation program — before he was interrogated. He also had an instance where, during an interrogation, he urinated on himself and he was used as — a human mop was the way they described it. So he definitely underwent quite a lot during the interrogations and later said, I have no idea what I said at that time. Fast forward to 2010, when he is before the military commission. At that time, the Pentagon was offering him a plea deal. The U.S. really wanted to get rid of his case for a number of reasons. And so as we were, sort of, on the eve of this trial beginning, they offered him a plea deal for a eight year sentence, a chance to return to Canada, if he confessed to throwing the grenade that fatally wounded U.S. Delta Force soldier Christopher Speer. He did that. He spent another two years in Guantánamo; came back to Canada. And when he came back to Canada, he said, I just — my lawyers told me to say that. I would have said anything to get out of Guantánamo. He is not sure whether he threw the grenade. I think for many years he believed he did. More recently, he said he has seen evidence that shows he possibly couldn’t because he was buried under rubble at the time. But as he said yesterday, when he made his first public statements, whether he did or didn’t, he’s sorry for any pain and wants to put that behind him.
