Inside Guantanamo edit
Kathryn was a producer for the National Geographic documentary entitled Inside Guantanamo, first broadcast in early April 2009.[2][3] The film interviewed some key players who played a role in the controversial camp.[4] Colonel Bruce Vargo called the camps: "an integral part of the war on terror." Lieutenant Commander Charles Swift, the Navy lawyer assigned to defend Salim Ahmed Hamdan, said: "Guantanamo Bay was the legal equivalent of outer space -- a place with no law."
Neil Genzlinger, reporting for New York Times, wrote:[3]
Everything in the program, of course, has to be taken with a grain of salt: the soldiers all do and say the right things; the former prisoners (the ubiquitous Moazzam Begg is one) are nonthreatening as can be; and, under the restrictions imposed on the film crew by the military, the current prisoners are not heard from in direct interviews or even seen (thanks to blurring).
