On
麻豆社 News 24's HARDtalk tonight (Tuesday 18 February 2003), Tim Sebastian
interviews Thomas
Wilner, lawyer for 12 Guantanamo Bay detainees.
As
the United States appears to move closer to conflict in Iraq, there
is plenty of unfinished business from its last military engagement
in Afghanistan. In particular, hundreds of prisoners kept in legal
limbo at the US base in Guantanamo bay in Cuba.
Thomas
Wilner is an American lawyer, hired to represent a few of the detainees.
Tim
Sebastian asks if he has managed to break through the wall of official
silence around them.
