Interrogated By Canadian Security Officials in Guantanamo

In the tapes a distraught Khadr stripped off his shirt to show his wounds, which he claimed were not being treated. He breaks down and cries, and when he is left alone, he appeared to repeat "kill me, kill me, kill me." The publication of the tapes stirred controversy.

The strength they have against the strength they need;
