Description
Honigsberg conducted 158 interviews across 20 countries so
that the people who lived and worked there could tell
their heartbreaking and inspirational stories. In each one,
we face the reality that the healing process cannot begin
until we start the conversation about what was done in the
name of protecting our country. These are a few of them.
Many alleged operatives in Guantánamo were purchased by
the United States for ransom from Afghan and Pakistani
soldiers. Brandon Neely, a prison guard who processed the
first group of suspected operatives to arrive in Cuba,
flew to London to embrace the detainees he guarded after
leaving the military. Navy whistleblower Matt Diaz
covertly released the names of 500 detainees by sending
them in a greeting card to a lawyer in New York.
Journalist Carol Rosenberg committed the past 17 years of
her career to documenting life at Guantánamo. And Damien
Corsetti, an interrogator who came to be known as the
"King of Torture," received ribbons and awards for the
same cruel actions for which he was later prosecuted.
