Hello PJW supporters

Early last month I shared information about the video of Amnesty 
International Group 48's event with former Guantanmo guard Steve Wood 
being on cable tv/the web at particular times. Now the show is posted 
online and you can watch it any time.

Here's the announcment that came from me at Flying Focus about the

Hello again Flying Focus supporters

A few days ago, the US released a prisoner from Guantanamo Bay, leaving just 38 
people there in the now 20-year-old human rights stain on our country. 
Coincidentally, a generous donor has made it possible for us to post our recent 
show featuring Steve Wood, a former Guantanamo guard, on our YouTube full shows 
page so now you can watch it anytime you want.

Here's the link to our website page:

    https://flyingfocus.org/GitmoGuard_streamingpage.html

or watch it as a playlist to see both parts combined:

Below is a description including chapter breaks we've to help locate specific 
content. We always appreciate any feedback. If you enjoy the show, we hope 
you're share it with other people.

Thanks

A Former Guantanamo Guard Speaks Out

     Steve Wood was a guard at the US' prison at Guantanamo Bay as a member
     of the Oregon National Guard. He was told the detainees were the worst
     of the worst and responsible for the 9/11 terrorist attack. He was
     assigned to a special shift to guard Mohamedou Ould Salahi, considered
     one of the US military's highest valued detainees located in a special
     unit inside the prison called Camp Echo. Ould Salahi, a Mauritanian man
     held for fourteen years without charge, wrote a book about his
     experiences ("Guantanamo Diary") which was turned into a movie in 2021
     ("The Mauritanian").

     On January 13, 2022, two days after the 20th anniversary of the prison
     camp, Wood spoke to members of Portland's Amnesty International Group
     48 on a Zoom presentation. He was interviewed by Megan Harrington
     Wilson, whose thoughtful questions prompted a lively conversation.
     There was also Q&A from audience members.

     The event was video-captured by Dan Handelman of Flying Focus, who
     edited and produced this two-part program.

    Streaming made possible by a generous individual.
